Under the black curtain, the land was barren and empty all around. The junction of sky and earth was almost in a straight line. There was only a black tower that reached into the sky and stood between the sky and the earth. The autumn wind blew through the tower, making it look particularly desolate.
This is the territory of the Thorn Clan, the Black Thorn Tower.
At the top of the tower, in the study of Prince Peter of the Thorn clan, a white-haired girl in a white dress was sitting crookedly in front of a large elm desk, with the quill in her hand suspended in the air. On the desk was a book
A delicate book made of parchment. She supported her chin with one hand, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled on her perfect face, and it took a while before she started writing again.
After more than ten minutes, Elizabeth had finished writing this page. She frowned and was not very satisfied, but still held the notebook in both hands and blew gently with her mouth to dry up the undried parchment.
Ink marks.
The notebook was closed, and several large words were written in golden ink on the cover, "Dark Code"...
At this time, a middle-aged man with short white hair quietly walked into the study. He was dressed in white clothes that were very unique. The right side was embroidered with a dense silver thorn pattern, but the left side was basically blank.
"What's wrong with you recently? I see you've been hiding in my study for more than two months." Peter said with a gentle smile.
"Stingy, why don't you use your study?" Elizabeth said dissatisfied: "I'm writing notes."
"What? Write notes?" Peter was suddenly very curious. How could this old monster who had existed for thousands of years suddenly become so carefree? Peter felt that he could not understand the woman in front of him more and more.
Peter reached out and took the book from Elizabeth's hand. To be precise, it was a notebook. He opened it casually and glanced at it a few times, and said in surprise: "Is this a skill?..."Dark Code"?...
"
"It's all in vain." Elizabeth looked at Peter with disdain, her little feet actually raised up on the desk.
"Indeed...I am afraid that only a person like you, who possesses the vastness of nothingness, can cultivate in this world..." Peter looked through it casually for a while and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Then, Peter asked, "Why did you suddenly want to write this?"
"Why do you care so much?" Elizabeth was too lazy to pay attention to him, grabbed her notes, and said angrily: "It's because the clan has been too peaceful recently, are you so idle that it hurts? Come here to mind your own business."
"First of all, this is my study, and secondly, it's not all your fault..." Peter said depressedly, and then he took out a letter from his arms and threw it in front of Elizabeth.
"Fight with me! Otherwise do something for me! If you refuse again, I will come to you in person! Yekaterina."
"Bah!" Elizabeth glanced at the content of the letter and said disdainfully: "This crazy woman can't defeat me, so she comes to bully you. Do you want me to help you?"
"No! Thank you!" Peter refused with a wry smile. The fight between this aunt and that crazy woman would probably be a disaster.
"Then what are you going to do? What does she want you to do?" Elizabeth puffed up her face and asked curiously.
"It can only be a challenge, what else can it be? Isn't it just trying to gain my bloodline ability?" Peter said helplessly.
"By the way! How could I have forgotten your ability!?" Elizabeth suddenly stood up excitedly and shouted: "Come on, come on! I just need your help with something!"
"No! Absolutely not!" Peter flatly refused: "I will never use that ability easily until the clan is in danger!"
Elizabeth was immediately very unhappy, but she was not completely unreasonable as she knew what was going on, so she had no choice but to sit back in her chair and became depressed.
Forget it, the March deadline is almost here anyway. However, Elizabeth's patience has been worn out...
...
In the dilapidated city of Sarajevo, a huge heart is beating. This mass of flesh and blood was originally transformed by a giant flesh puppet with a height of more than thirty meters. However, at this time, the size of this mass of flesh and blood has been reduced by ten percent.
Seven or eight, it is only about four or five meters in diameter, and its aura is getting weaker and weaker, and it is somewhat sluggish.
And in this mass of flesh and blood, there is darkness, and a consciousness is floating in this lightless space...
"who I am?..."
"where am I?..."
I don't know how much time passed, but Allen was completely lost in the darkness. He couldn't remember anything, and he couldn't feel anything. There was just darkness, pure darkness, and Allen's consciousness was in this darkness.
Wandering among them, it seems that this world should be like this...
Allen was wandering in this darkness. Suddenly, there was something in front of him that gave off a weak breath and pulsed, making people feel very warm.
What is this? Why does it feel so familiar?
Allen stretched out his hand to hold this small thing. He didn't know why, he couldn't see anything now, but he just felt that this small thing was slightly cold in his hand.
Suddenly, the breath on this little thing beat violently, and Allen suddenly thought, what is this!? What on earth is this!? He tried hard to recall, he only felt that this must be very important to him.
thing.
yes?...
Edith?...
It was as if a ray of light appeared in the darkness. This droplet had been with Allen for several years. The soul essence and blood that never left his body seemed to be a key, instantly opening Allen's memory hall. Countless pictures suddenly appeared in his mind.
A flash of madness.
Alan, wake up!
Above this mass of flesh and blood, Patton and Bismarck were slowly floating in the air.
"What a pity! I asked you to deal with it earlier! It's better now, you see this is all that's left." Barton said very dissatisfied.
"Sigh...I didn't expect it to be like this before..." Bismarck said in a helpless tone. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, this mass of flesh and blood has shrunk to this state. It feels like it is dying and about to die.
"Forget it, stop looking and let's go." Barton said, about to turn around and leave.
"Wait! This is!?..." Bismarck suddenly shouted.
"Crack!" A strange sound of flesh and blood was heard tearing apart, and suddenly a lightning-like energy burst out from the mass of flesh and blood.
"Crack!" There was another sound, and this time Bismarck could see it more clearly. A purple-black light, like a tiny lightning, danced and exploded from within the flesh and blood.
"Click! Click!" In an instant, countless purple-black light filaments were dancing and beating...
Boom!!! In an instant, flesh and blood were torn into countless fragments and sprayed in all directions. At the center of the explosion, countless purple-black light threads rotated and danced, causing the space to distort!
"Is this true!?" Bismarck was stunned.
"This is space tearing!!!" Barton's pupils shrank and he said in shock.
The exploded flesh and blood instantly evaporated into blood mist in the air, and the blood energy surged crazily, flowing toward the center again! The blood energy quickly rotated and condensed. Then, a figure came out...
Countless tumbling blood turned into strands of blood, intertwined around the figure's body, and condensed into a... blood-cloth!
Allen's black hair was fluttering in the wind, his eyes were blood red, and his blood-red clothes were almost black. Between his hands and around his body, purple-black light threads were beating in bursts. With his body as the center, the entire space was disturbed. Like this
Appearance, like a son of hell descending into the world!
Allen took a deep breath and gradually stretched his arms. It was intoxicating to breathe fresh air again after a long time.
"I was promoted?..." Allen looked at his hands and said slowly: "No, I just broke through a small rank, second-class Viscount..."
Allen, who emerged from the cocoon, did not notice the Duke and Marquis in the sky at all. Bismarck and Barton were horrified when they saw this scene. The two of them said nothing at the same time, staring at the flesh and blood.
