Chapter 136 Isn’t it a monster that swallows the sun?
Arriving from the second floor to the bottom of the castle is like stepping into a deep night, but the darkness here is different from the darkness in the previous floors. The darkness before was like a hidden evil beast, choosing people to devour, always trying to
Devouring the last light, everything returns to the original chaos. Therefore, when Ovela walks among them, the fire of the lantern is like the remaining light, crumbling and dying, making people unable to feel at ease.
But the darkness spreading silently at this moment is so quiet and soft, as calm as the sunken and abandoned ancient ruins at the bottom of a deep lake, and as calm and cold as the endless forest wandering on a good spring night. Walking in this darkness as quiet as water
, watching the flames of the lantern slowly blowing out, my mood couldn't help but become calmer, and it was difficult to be hostile to the things around me.
But the more this happens, the more people become more vigilant, believing that there must be some trap hidden behind it, waiting for them to fall into the trap.
This is an obvious thing. There is no way that the final boss who is hidden behind the scenes, who created four phantoms to seal the cage and caused the Beimang Kingdom to suffer deeply, is actually a kind-hearted, innocent and cute person, very polite and kind.
A beautiful girl who likes small animals, right?
That is a fantasy that can only be imagined by a bewildered old two-dimensional person. However, Alice is a maid and a brave man, but not an old two-dimensional person. Therefore, she is very clear in her heart.
The sun-eating monster Noctus is its true appearance.
Until now, various rumors about this terrifying beast are still circulating in the areas near the Sosen Mountains, most of which are related to keywords such as "eating living people", "destroying villages", "causing earthquakes", "bringing darkness" etc.
Together, saying it is enough to make a child stop crying.
When she was bored on the road, Alice used these hearsay stories about country monsters to scare Olvera. The latter turned pale when she heard it, swallowed subconsciously, and said in a low voice: "I know that monster is very difficult to deal with. It makes the whole
The magicians in Bemang, including the teacher, are helpless, but they don’t know that it is also so famous in your world. Could it be said that besides me, anyone else has been harmed by it?"
"I don't know."
Alice, who was only responsible for spreading rumors, said irresponsibly: "There should be, otherwise the legend of Dark Noctus would not have spread so widely. Hey, Ringer, weren't you reading a book to learn about Ross before?
You should know the history of Ting City, right?"
Ringer, who was forced into the topic by her, originally didn't want to respond, but Olivia's face was full of curiosity. Considering that the innocent princess could not be poisoned by Alice's rumors, he recalled what he had learned from the book.
After seeing the content, he said: "The legend of Noctus the Dark originated in the 11th century AD. At that time, villagers attributed a violent earthquake in the Saussen Mountains to its terrifying power, which coincided with the period when the wave of pioneering was gradually cooling down.
, the adventurers left the mountains one after another to end their exploration. It was believed that they were afraid of the ferocious power of this monster, so it was spread. As for whether anyone was directly harmed, there is no record."
"The 11th century AD?" Olivia asked: "What century AD is it in the outside world now?"
"I know, it's the 19th century AD!" Alice answered a question that didn't need to be answered. It had no other meaning except to show the lower limit of her intelligence.
"In other words, eight hundred years?" Olvera thought thoughtfully: "Has eight hundred years passed since I was sealed in the castle? Why do I always feel that it has not been that long?" She seems to be very familiar with the AD calendar, knowing that a century is a hundred years. Could it be said that the country of the monsters also uses this kind of calendar? Linge thought about it and replied casually: "You want to say Hui Zhi Noktu
Did Si appear earlier than your curse? Then who was the ruling monster that sealed you in the castle?"
"I...I don't know."
The princess looked confused, shook her head slowly, and said in an unconfident tone: "It is also possible that my feeling is wrong? After all, I have been sealed for so long, so I may not be so sensitive to the span of time..."
"Feelings are unmistakable." Suddenly a soft voice intervened in the conversation. It was Saint Xalia who was speaking: "Because that is the spirituality given by fate."
With the girl's royal power, which symbolizes the law of destiny, as a guarantee, Oveira's previous words suddenly gained credibility. So everyone was silent for a while, full of doubts about that lost history.
"Perhaps," Oveira whispered, "when I leave this castle, I can search the classics left by Beman and find the answer from them."
"Great idea!"
Alice quickly agreed, and others also thought it was a good idea. However, Ringer remained silent and felt that it might not go so smoothly. After all, Bemandu has been destroyed for so long. In addition to the castle that sealed the princess, it was also closed due to the curse.
Except for the preserved ones, other relics have been turned into historical dust and disappeared without a trace. Where can we find the remaining classics?
I thought so, but didn't say anything. I followed the princess's perspective silently and continued to move forward in the darkness that was as peaceful and timeless as the night. I don't know how long I walked, but everyone almost doubted whether this darkness would never end, forever.
Nor will the scene in the sky suddenly change when we reach the end.
It was a floating quarter moon, as bright and clear as a silver bow, hanging high in the night sky, shining on the world, and scattering pieces of cold moonlight on the ground. In the curved hook of the quarter moon, there sat a tall and indifferent figure.
Her back is shrouded in the gorgeous silvery moonlight, like a hazy frost mist, and her specific face cannot be seen, but just looking at her back makes people feel proud, elegant, and has a kind of self-respecting nobility.
Among them.
Ovela stopped subconsciously, and at the same time, the [Book of Truth] displayed the other party’s information description:
[The Ruler-Shadow of Carabosse: hp 1/1, the incarnation of darkness, the dream of true night, the arrogant Leng Yue. Surrender to her, otherwise you will fall into the call of eternal night.]
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The Ruler...Shadow of Carabosse?
When Ringer saw this name, he subconsciously felt familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, while other companions were even more shocked. For example, Alice blurted out without thinking: "It's really not Noctus the Dark!?" p>
……
Outside the universe, in the endless sea of stars, a huge and spectacular steel structure like a star floats silently at the end of the darkness, silently observing all the movements of the earth. In the deepest part of the steel structure, in the cold corridor, there is
There was a burst of empty footsteps, and then stopped quickly, followed by a young and steady voice: "Lord Carabosse, you called me?"
Then came a cold and rational girl's voice: "Are you here, Freud? Sit down first, and then take a look at this report."
Freund sat down as he was told and took the report from the other party. After flipping through a few pages, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes: "Report on anomalies in magic power in Area Y-674... Area Y-674, I remember
Isn’t that the area where Incident S-1055-102 occurred?”
s refers to the highest level of abnormal event level standards established within the association, 1055 refers to the time when the event occurred, that is, 1055 AD, and number 102 means that it is the 102nd event of the same level that has occurred since the association was established. Don’t look at it.
102 is a very large number. If we trace back to the time when the association was established, it was actually a very early event.
Moreover, Incident No. 102 has a very special significance among all S-class incidents.
"If I remember correctly, Freud, you did not participate in that battle."
The girl known as Lord Carabosse maintained her calm tone, as if what she was talking about, even what was about to happen, could not interfere with her original thoughts, but this was her consistent character: "Association versus the Goddess of Creation.
Although the encirclement and suppression of the Sect successfully achieved the strategic goal, it suffered heavy losses. Less than half of the personnel who participated in the war survived. This was due to errors in prediction and lack of decisiveness."
"Yes." Freund recalled the relevant files about that battle and frowned: "As far as I know, that fierce battle also caused the outbreak of magical anomalies in area Y-674 that lasted for three months.
This phenomenon not only caused frequent earthquakes and other natural disasters, but also caused the local area to fall into a long period of darkness, so that the legend about the sun-eating monster Noctus was spread..."
"Rumors from the countryside are not worth mentioning."
Carabosse is obviously not interested in this most popular legend in the Rostyn area. She is more concerned about the nature of the incident: "Does this report of magical anomalies remind you of the battle eight hundred years ago?"
"I can't give you an accurate conclusion just by looking at the report. After all, the scale is different. Compared with the one eight hundred years ago, this magical anomaly seems to be within the normal range, but the area where it occurred is more sensitive.
"Freud expressed his opinion cautiously: "Besides, you are the one who witnessed that battle, so you should know better than me."
"Yes, that's the case." Carabosse paused briefly, and then said slowly: "I want to convene a meeting of philosophers and present this report to the meeting for everyone to discuss it together, so I want to ask for your opinion."
When Freund heard this, he showed an expression of astonishment: "Is this a bit... a move to mobilize troops, Lord Carabosse?"
"You feel this way because you are still young, Freud. If I remember correctly, you have joined the association for less than two hundred years. Naturally, you cannot understand the significance of that battle to us. You can even think that
, it changed us, and thus changed the world."
"But such a change only needs to happen once."
Carabosse's eyes were deep, staring directly into the void, but it was like staring into a deep nebula: "The current situation is the most stable period in the four thousand years since the association was established, and I——"
