It's just the same situation in the main banquet hall, outside the palace, and in the Imperial Plaza.
The award ceremony has just begun, and the Imperial Plaza has started a synchronous sound broadcast through special magic props... The previous awards to Claudia and Nilac have already made everyone excited. Now they hear the undead emperor again.
The gift of marriage can't stop the panic.
Unlike other empires, there is only one heir to the royal family of the Immortal Empire, Claudia. Combining Nilak with her... In addition to widespread envy, some people have also begun to ponder the implications.
Following the voice of the immortal emperor, Nilac looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "In the name of the Supreme Pluto, I am willing to spend my entire life bringing the princess eternal happiness..."
Along with this solemn oath, the real climax of the conference gradually came to an end. Although the blessings received by Garlington and others were equally generous, they were always somewhat overshadowed when put together with this marriage gift.
.
Even though they have been selected, there are too many people who need to be rewarded. The conference lasted until sunset on the top of the mountain before it came to an end. But now it was time for the dinner to begin again...
As the sky gradually darkened, the enthusiasm of the people outside began to gradually fade. Although the streets were still crowded with people, they were no longer as crowded as before.
Having received the reward, the dinner was naturally even more enjoyable.
I don’t know who started it first, but Nilak and Claudia, who were attracting all the attention at this time, immediately became the focus of everyone.
But Nilak is also very human...well, wrong, he is inhuman!
One for one, two for two, and even Claudia helped to block a lot of them. The fighting power was so strong that everyone was shocked... Maybe this Si's fighting power in this situation, even
It’s still undecided whether it will be on a formal battlefield!
Nilac was killing everyone in the middle, but Nicole, who came with him, was able to communicate with many high-level nobles like a fish in water... Compared with half a day ago, Nicole's identity was very different, not to mention Nilac and Keledi.
As for Ya, she herself has now become a real nobleman, Viscount Nicole!
The name of Viscount alone, coupled with the identity of the acting city lord of Dragon Slaying City, is enough for the high-ranking nobles of the empire to accept her, not to mention the existence of Nilac behind her!
Everyone got along well and everyone was happy. The atmosphere of the dinner lasted until late at night, and then gradually began to dissipate with the flow of drunken people... It was finally time to disperse!
Although they fought for countless rounds, Nilac's slightly pale complexion did not change at all. After a brief exchange of expressions with Leona and others, they all retreated towards the undead emperor.
The night was already dark, the immortal emperor would not stay, and everyone finally dispersed.
"Nilak, I'll go ahead. If anything happens, you know how to contact me!"
After leaving the palace, Leona nodded slightly and greeted Nilac, then turned into a golden thunder and disappeared in the night sky in an instant.
"Lady Leona is really..."
Looking into the night sky where Leona's figure disappeared, Nicole stopped as soon as she spoke. A complicated look flashed through her eyes... If possible, she would also like to pursue the supreme power, but
But she also has self-awareness. Let alone reaching the realm of Leona and Nilac, even the ordinary holy realm is probably an unattainable dream!
It was precisely because of this self-knowledge that Nicole finally made up her mind and put most of her thoughts into the life she wanted to have.
"Everyone has their own path. Now that you have identified your own path, why bother envying others."
Nilac also had some understanding of Nicole's thoughts. Seeing the knights who had been waiting outside walking toward them, he said, "Okay, let's go back too."
With a sweet smile, Nicole said: "Brother, don't worry, I will do it well!"
…………………………………………
When he arrived, he didn't take a carriage because it was too crowded. When he returned now, Nilac rarely had time to relax. He walked slowly with Nicole and watched the night view of the imperial capital.
The night sky was cloudless, and although it was almost late at night, under the faint light of the dark moon, the streets of the imperial capital seemed to be covered with a thin layer of silver gauze, still slightly bright.
With this faint light, Nilac and Nicole walked slowly towards the small courtyard while chatting and laughing softly, while the four family knights remained vigilant and followed closely behind them.
But Nikolak is destined to be a person who can’t take any time off!
After walking only a few hundred meters, my spiritual sense, which was naturally paying attention to the surrounding situation, had already faintly noticed that something was wrong.
There were quite a few people who came out of the palace together. It was not a strange thing to have people walking with them all the way, but...among these people walking together, there were one or two oddities. Instead of following them openly, they were
Through the shadow of the street
and nearby alleyways, hanging far behind them.
Although the skills of following these people are quite superb, there is no secret at all within the scope of Nilac's spiritual tentacles!
"Someone is actually following me. Is it a test, or... hey, maybe someone just couldn't stand it anymore after getting hurt!"
His expression remained unchanged, and Nilac did not speak to Nicole or the others. It was as if he was not aware of it, but in the bottom of his heart, a murderous intention flashed through... At this time, except for those who were hostile, those who came to test his details
Of power, there will never be anyone else!
After walking for a few more streets, gradually, the nobles following them dispersed, and along the long and quiet road, except for Nilac and the others, there were only the black shadows following them like ghosts.
At this time, the number of black shadows also increased. At the beginning, there were only one or two, but now they have become seven.
If they were just following and testing, one or two people would be enough, and seven at a time...Nilak sneered slightly in his heart.
"Sir, something seems wrong..."
The four family knights are all elite masters selected by Nicole from the army. Although in terms of strength, there is a big gap between them and the trackers, but they have always maintained a vigilant mind, but they also slightly noticed that something was wrong.
the breath.
The four of them hurried forward a few steps, unsheathed their swords, and protected the two Nilacs in the middle. A knight whispered: "Someone is following!"
Before the words could be finished, a few stars suddenly flashed out in the darkness... As Nilac expected, it was not just a test. It seems that the forces behind these people were still holding on to a bit of luck. If Nilac was really seriously injured, it might not be possible.
They have no chance! It’s just….
With the swords in hand, the four knights were about to go forward and fight, but when Nilac pointed out in the void, a black mist that condensed the curses of slowness, weakness, corrosion, etc. suddenly appeared, and in an instant, all the incoming people were enveloped.
With Nilak's current strength, this cursed black mist had just emerged, immediately putting those assassins into a desperate situation where they were struggling to move forward and their strength was greatly weakened.
Immediately afterwards, Nilac pointed his finger into the void, and suddenly the space darkened, and dozens of huge bone dragons appeared out of thin air.
Wrapped in the cursed black mist, even though these assassins each possess considerable strength, they are unable to resist. At this time, a large number of bone dragons appear, and their fate has almost been decided.
However, since they were assigned to assassinate Nilak, they had already prepared to die, and their goal had almost been achieved at this time... According to Nilak's usual methods, if he had not been seriously injured, how could he have done it?
Use such means to deal with them!
As soon as the bone dragon appeared in the sky, before Nilac could speak, he heard the six assassins in the cursed black mist groan, and suddenly they all fell down.
"Death warrior..."
Nilac waved his hand and sent the bone dragon back to the other world, and the cursed fog quickly dissipated. Seeing the black blood at the corners of the mouths of the six black-clothed assassins, Nicole frowned slightly, and was about to say something more, but saw Nilac hesitate.
He waved his hand and said: "We'll talk about it when we go back first. You and Audrey will investigate this matter together... Well, when you get back there, you can keep more contact with her."
Although the number of outsiders in the imperial capital has been extremely large in the past few days, since these assassins have appeared, it is not surprising that Audrey cannot find some clues.
Smelling that Nilac had allowed her to get closer to Audrey, a hint of joy unconsciously appeared on Nicole's face, and without saying a word, they hurried away.
Not long after Nilac and the others disappeared, another large group of city guards came after hearing the news. After a search, they found nothing except the six corpses on the ground.
Not long after, the city guards also left.
After coming here for a long time, I saw nothing strange on the street. A thousand meters away, a black shadow slowly emerged from the darkness...
"Even if he is seriously injured, monsters like Necromancer Nilak are not something that ordinary people can deal with... But we can finally confirm the above guess, he is indeed seriously injured!"
Not caring at all about the deaths of those assassins, the black shadow made a few leaps in the dark alley and then quickly disappeared... Now that it was confirmed that Nikilak was injured and had not recovered, the rest of the matter was not his business!
It’s just that no matter how clever this black shadow is at concealing its whereabouts, how could he escape from Nilak’s feeling? The reason why he was not caught out directly was just to find out who was hiding behind him...
The spiritual tentacles had already locked onto the seven of them. As a result, the six people who took action directly would not let him alone!
Under this dark shadow, a shadow has already been hanging up...
