Chapter 24 City of Tears, Hollow Knight

Lu Zhengkang walked up to the throne in the auditorium and looked at the former King of Fools who was leaning on the throne.

The members of the Colosseum of Fools appeared collectively, standing in the blood-stained square, while the audience sat quietly in their seats.

They were waiting for Lu Zhengkang's action.

The old king's body has decayed, and the new king will ascend the throne today.

Lu Zhengkang tore off the empty shell from the throne, and it rolled and fell under the auditorium.

The restless atmosphere is surging.

All the bugs held back their breath, waiting for Lu Zhengkang to sit on the throne, and then shouted loudly.

But unexpectedly, Lu Zhengkang just turned around and did not sit down.

He shouted: "There is no King of Fools in Hallownest!"

The whole place was in an uproar.

Lu Zhengkang continued to shout: "There is no king of fools, and no insect can be called a fool, because no one is invincible!"

The noisy discussion gradually subsided, and the bugs all looked up at Lu Zhengkang, who was above them.

"The King of Fools is the goal that fighters strive for forever. It will never be reached, it will only be constantly surpassed!"

"Keep fighting! Keep fighting! In the bloody battle, don't forget your glory as a fighter! We are all the kings of fools!"

His words aroused a huge response, and the fools in the field began to fight. The blood spurted high and fell like a never-ending heavy rain.

The words of the strong are the truth!

Lu Zhengkang looked down at the swarm of insects that were fighting blindly, knowing that this was all he could do.

Absorbing a huge number of residual dreams in the soul world, Lu Zhengkang also extracted reliable information from the fragmented memories.

When he was still a player, Lu Zhengkang had speculated on the background of the Colosseum of Fools.

In his vision, this building was very historical. When the King of Fools was first in charge, the fighters had a very pure goal, which was to fight for honor. After the death of the King of Fools, a new king slowly emerged.

If they don't appear, fools will fall into a kind of inertia, the inertia of killing.

After coming to the Colosseum in person, Lu Zhengkang also speculated on the development history of the Colosseum in his spare time. After the death of the King of Fools, it seemed to be ruled by the wealthy bugs of Hallownest, that is, the audience. They killed for the satisfaction of

They gave the fighters a lot of rewards and encouraged them to participate in the fight. At the same time, in order to ensure the number of fools and beasts, they formed a slave-catching team and an animal-taming team to provide fresh blood to the Colosseum.

After absorbing Can Meng, Lu Zhengkang had a roughly accurate understanding of the Colosseum of Fools.

The Colosseum was originally built as a way for the King of Fools to resist radiation infection, allowing the warriors to fight for glory. They would have firm courage in their hearts and would not be easily bewitched by radiation. At that time, there were many powerful insects taking the initiative

Some of them joined the Colosseum to solve the infection, while others wanted to kill. There were various reasons, but they were definitely not slaves who were forcibly captured.

After the death of the King of Fools, the situation was just as Lu Zhengkang reasoned, the audience took over and the battle became impure.

As for what Lu Zhengkang did, he did the right thing. It was better to die on the battlefield than to be infected and devour his mind. As for the audience, Lu Zhengkang would not comment.

Just keep everything as usual.

The Colosseum of Fools left behind his legend, and Lu Zhengkang is about to embark on a new journey.

The next target is the Soul Sanctuary in the City of Tears, one of the most researched places on soul power. Lu Zhengkang hopes to find a way to better utilize his huge hidden soul energy there.

"Killing is eternal! Goodbye!"

What responded to him was a deafening cry of death.



Before coming to the Colosseum, Lu Zhengkang took the elevator shaft of the City of Tears. Now he took this shortcut and seemed more familiar.

As we were falling all the way, we saw an opening in the elevator shaft. This opening led to the Happy House, which is equivalent to a hot spring club. Lu Zhengkang planned to go and have a look when he had the chance.

After landing easily, Lu Zhengkang looked around.

After all, the City of Tears is a city of nobles. The interior decoration is extremely exquisite. The main color is dark red, full of classical style, the lights are bright, the decorative reliefs on the walls are full of Hallownest characteristics, and large pieces of crystal glass are inlaid on the outer walls of the building.

It is fixed with carved iron hoops, and through the glass you can see the endless rain outside, falling on the window and leaving misty water marks.

These water droplets seep down from the Blue Lake above, and the city's accumulated water is discharged through the sewers. The overall design is exquisite and amazing.

Lu Zhengkang took a few steps and saw a few well-dressed bugs. To be precise, they were once members of the upper class of this kingdom. After their dead bodies were resurrected, they still retained their arrogant posture. Lu Zhengkang killed them easily.

A lot.

Of course, the body sentinels are indispensable, and they come in groups, but now they can no longer cause Lu Zhengkang any trouble.

I pushed forward easily and had time to look around. I saw a comfortable and soft sofa and sat on it to enjoy it.

There is basically an elevator between the floors. Pull the mechanism and the elevator will be pulled up by the chain. The main body of the elevator is exquisite. After entering, you also pull the control lever to the up and down arrows, and the elevator will start running.

This kind of primitive mechanical elevator is not sealed. The advantage is that you can see the scenery without blind spots. There is a large floor-to-ceiling window on one side of the elevator shaft, and the raindrops are like tears. It is really the city of tears.

Following the map, we arrived at King's Station, one of the largest stag-horned insect stations in Hallownest. Although it is deserted now, judging from the large number of station entrances, we can vaguely appreciate the grand occasion back then.

Without stopping, Lu Zhengkang left the station.

After going out, the outline of the City of Tears appeared in front of Lu Zhengkang. After a cursory glance at the entire area, he felt like he had arrived in some sci-fi steampunk city. Under the sky, in a dark world of dim light, heavy rain poured down, and the buildings were like towers. Inside the house

The light projected is as distant as an illusion and as warm as a campfire.

There are tall tower-like buildings from the bottom to the ceiling. The fine carvings and decorations make these towers extremely solemn and solemn. The buildings are connected by sky bridges and extend in all directions like a network. The overall design has a strong sense of design.

There is an unusually tall tower. You can imagine that standing on the top of the tower you can overlook the entire City of Tears. Lu Zhengkang thought that there should be the tower of one of the dream keepers, Watcher Lurian. Maybe he will go in and have a look in the future, but

Not now.

Lu Zhengkang opened the map and compared it. The Soul Sanctuary was located in a tower near the central square of Tears City. The tower had an odd shape, with many extensions on the upper part. It looked like a deformed big head, which was easy to identify.

Lu Zhengkang uses the soul warrior's teleportation skills to move quickly. Wherever he looks, he can reach it with just a thought, which is extremely convenient.

Soon we arrived at the central square.

There is a huge statue erected here. On a huge lotus-like base, three stone sculptures of dream keepers surround a tall and sparse knight as bright as the bright moon.

He wears a huge helmet-like mask shaped like a V, branched like a deer, revealing a pair of eyes looking down at every bug that looks up at his face. His tall body is hidden under the thick cloak, and he has an imposing manner.

There is a monument on the base.

"commemorate

hollow knight

Under that high black dome

His sacrifice immortalized Hallownest "
