There is no doubt that the environment in the Land of Shadows is terrifying.
The dark night, the biting cold wind, the weird and shrill roars that come from time to time in the night... and the constant lightning and thunder. It is an ominous scene of an approaching storm, but there is always something here.
There is no way to calm down this approaching storm quickly.
The Kingdom of Shadows does not have "citizens" in the ordinary sense, so you can't see any civilians when walking on the road. In that empty and silent wilderness, there is nothing except various monsters.
The land here is gray or black, and there are trees and shrubs around it. But their shapes are as rugged as skulls, and the color of all these plants is black. When the lightning in the sky lights up, if you are a blind eye
It's easy to think of it as a shadowy monster with teeth and claws.
——It looks like a world shrouded in a black-and-white filter. The whole world only has three colors: black, white and gray, and the black and gray are overwhelming. It's like a black-and-white movie with a gloomy atmosphere, and it looks like it's very painted.
Grungy black and white cartoon.
The only ones who "came alive" were these warriors from the Kingdom of Shadows, as well as outsiders like Aiwass and Yassen.
The color of their clothes, as well as the color of their hair and eyes, are the only colors in this dark world. But even so, some of those warriors have gradually become "black and white" - the price of living in the Kingdom of Shadows for a long time, or in other words
The blessing is to be gradually infiltrated by the power of shadow, and eventually become an elemental life irreversibly.
Just look at their clothes, skin, pupils, hair... The more color someone loses, the longer they may stay here. Of course, it may also be because they are too weak to resist the erosion of the power of shadow. For example
Speaking of Lancelot, he was almost half saturated with shadow.
In this shadow world without sun or moon, time will lose its meaning.
But fortunately, these soldiers are extremely cheerful.
They actively separated out a few people to carry the prey, while the rest gathered around Aiwass and Yassen enthusiastically and curiously.
The soldiers shared their "Shadow Brew" with Aiwass and his party, and asked them about what happened in the world. Aiwass and Yassen were not taciturn and introverted people, and they both accepted the wine generously.
, while drinking, he chatted with them vividly about the stories that happened outside, causing the soldiers to exclaim one after another.
That feeling is quite new to Aiwass, but quite familiar to Yassen - he often visits some seniors who have been in prison for more than ten or decades, and something similar will happen then.
dialogue.
This effectively dispelled his fear of "phantoms".
...These legendary dead souls, the cruel shadow warriors of the Kingdom of Shadows... are actually just a group of prisoners with a rich entertainment life. From what they say, Ying Tiansi is already a very good boss, but
They are still not allowed to leave the Kingdom of Shadows at will - the only one allowed to visit is probably Yantiansi's side.
Because there are too many strange and dangerous phantoms in the dream world. There are even quite a few of them that can be enemies of Tiansi, but there is just no chance to win the fragments of Tiansi...
After all, the Tiansi fragment itself is a kind of enhancement, just like Wutiansi and Yantiansi are much more powerful than before after being upgraded. Even powerful phantoms of the level of the Fairy Queen are not too rare in the dream world.
So Yingtiansi doesn't want them to run around in the dream world.
And the relationship between them and Ying Tiansi, which belongs to the path of love, makes Ying Tiansi unwilling to put them into the material world.
So they were trapped here, and could only sit in the sweet prison day after day. They were usually happy... but they could only listen to the various stories told by the witches who had returned from the material world.
But the witches are the best at deceiving them, and they also have some twisted thoughts about them. What they say is half-truth and half-false, and they don’t count, and they will deliberately collude to tease them. Now with two outsiders, Aiwass and Yassen,
They finally knew whether those words were true or false.
They were like students on an outing, eating, drinking, and strolling leisurely.
I couldn't count how many thunderbolts fell in total, but I finally saw something different.
It was a castle made of black and gray.
It stands in the dark canyon cracks - unlike many castles that like to be built on high places, it was built in the center of a sunken basin. Although it looks quite huge, it only has two floors in terms of scale, which seems to be similar to
The identity of the "Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows" doesn't quite match...
"The castle is downward."
Lancelot was drinking wine with Aiwass arm in arm at the moment. He saw the meaning of Aiwass's eyes and quickly explained: "It's like falling into the abyss like death, and like the shadow is always there.
Behind the sun. If lightning is in the sky, the downward shadow can extend infinitely... That is Ying Tiansi's 'Infinity Palace'. It used to be a huge hollow, a palace built by Her Majesty the Queen. We
I usually live there.”
"If that's the case," Yassen was a little confused, "then why build a second floor?"
"That's called the Thunder Watching Platform."
Lancelot replied: "Her Majesty the Queen sometimes stands there and performs divination or curses through the shadow cast by the lightning when it falls."
"Are there any lights in the palace?"
Aiwass was somewhat concerned about this issue.
Although he also has the ability of night vision... but since he obtained the ability of Si Zhu's son, he has been inexplicably happy. Just being in the Kingdom of Shadows for a period of time made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"——That's natural."
Before Lancelot could respond, a woman's voice sounded out of thin air, full of smile: "Without light, how can there be shadow?"
As he said that, he saw the tall female giant pushing the door open and walking out of the castle—— That is undoubtedly a pure-blooded giant.
Unlike those male giants who are ugly and rough, like orangutans, female giants are usually extremely beautiful. However, their skin is usually not very good, and there will be white skin stains with a rock texture like peeling off the wall. It looks like cracks.
Like a giant stone statue.
But Ying Tiansi is not like that. Her skin is soft and neat, without any cracks.
She looks about four meters tall, which is considered petite among pure-blood giants, but tall among priestesses. She has long, satin-like hair that should have been fiery red, but now it is dyed with shadows.
It was as dark red as red wine. Her pupils were also the same blood red, with countless broken diamond facets shining like a kaleidoscope.
She has an elf-like beauty with a slightly heroic atmosphere - she is not as stunningly beautiful as Cardinal Galatea, nor is she as hazy and mysterious as Wu Tiansi.
If you ignore her huge height, she looks like a cheerful, generous and confident beauty. At this time, she is wearing a very revealing dark red leather armor, and behind her is a shadow-like night.
A woven cloak. Behind her was a ferocious blood-red spear covered with thorns. It looked like the backbone of a fish or some kind of huge harpoon.
——There is no doubt that that is Shadow Tiansi. Scathach, the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows.
Before Aiwass could enter the castle, she came out to greet him.
"Meet Her Majesty the Queen!"
Yasen didn't hesitate and immediately knelt on the ground.
He simply couldn't imagine that he, a lowly thief, could one day meet Tiansi!
He even saw Tiansi with his own eyes while still alive!
This made him feel as if he was living in a dream... Oh no, it seemed like he was in a dream here.
But this also made him tremble with fear, and he would never dare to be disrespectful at all - this was a genuine Tiansi! He was a real god!
The god appeared dozens of meters away in front of him!
But his reaction was different.
The other warriors were not very respectful to the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows.
They shouted enthusiastically: "Your Majesty, our guest has caught a big prey for us!"
"Sir, Vio and the others can wake up again now!"
"Honey, shouldn't we have a party?"
The soldiers each have their own names for Ying Tiansi.
No matter what the name is, there is not much "awe" in it, but genuine "love".
These people are aggressive, lusty, jealous, good at fighting, and better at sex. Ying Tiansi is not adaptable to the authoritarian path, so she doesn't care how much respect these people have for her - because
They are her things, pets, and lovers.
As long as the pet does not bar its teeth, no matter how naughty it is, it can be forgiven. Even better if it bares its teeth - although Ying Tiansi is a priest, he is also a warrior. If anyone dares to challenge her, then she can
Have fun fighting with each other.
No matter where it is, no matter what form of duel it is, she will happily accept it.
Ying Tiansi smiled and waved his hand: "Pull them down - release your brothers! Then, dismember them and eat their meat!
"Call those fairies again, my warriors! Ask them for the best wine and have a banquet tonight!"
"--oh!"
"Okay-"
The soldiers shouted happily.
They were all tough guys, with very high execution ability and extremely straightforward personalities. No one wasted any time before they dispersed in a swarm.
——Even though every night is a banquet, the soldiers will always look forward to tomorrow's dinner. The banquet is originally the authority of Yantiansi, but Yingtiansi is jealous that the host's banquet is well organized and has many friends, so he insists on holding it
A banquet to let the soul you like stay.
When the soldiers dispersed, there were only two soldiers left around Aiwass.
Ares, the Destroyer of Nations, and Lancelot.
After they politely greeted Ying Tiansi at the end, they left in a wise manner.
