The scarecrow with "Grand Duke" written on it lay quietly in the giant bronze coffin. The Twelve Grand Dukes were at a loss for what to do about this strange situation.
In an instant, many possibilities emerged in their consciousness. For example, whether this was a prank by the Grand Duke [Toriduo], or whether this was intentional by the Grand Duke [Toriduo]... He is very likely to be responsible for the [Lost]
What did Tusk do to make him escape before the Dukes arrived?
"No... why does this scarecrow have the same aura as that guy [Toridor]?" A Grand Duke frowned at this time.
The next moment, he directly scratched the scarecrow in the giant bronze coffin, only to see that there was an ancient black wooden box hidden inside the scarecrow's body.
The aura of the Grand Duke [Toridor] is obviously emanating from this black wooden box. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, just based on the induction between the clan's Grand Dukes, you would only feel that the Grand Duke [Toridor] is here and has not moved.
Pass.
Another Grand Duke pondered for a while, then tentatively opened the black wooden box.
But the other Grand Duke, when he was about to open the box, suddenly felt a bad feeling, and quickly shouted in a low voice, "Wait a minute!"
But it was already too late... The Grand Duke who was about to open the box had already opened the lock of the box with his fingers and opened the box a little.
Nothing special has happened...the box has been opened a little bit.
Seeing that there was no unusual situation, the Grand Duke who opened the box made a gesture to the Grand Dukes that nothing was wrong, and then the box was completely opened and a blood-red light suddenly spread out from the box, making the entire ancient cave red.
"This is……"
When all the Grand Dukes saw clearly what was in the box at the same time, their faces changed slightly because what they saw was a heart that was still beating!
The heart was nailed directly into the box by a wooden nail.
This is... [Toriduo] The Grand Duke’s heart will never admit his mistake!
The Twelve Grand Duke looked at the heart that was nailed into the wooden box. First he didn't speak for a long time, and then, a burst of angry breath emanated from the Twelve Grand Duke's body.
Even if this is not the heart of the Grand Duke [Toridor], but the heart of a vampire who is not even a noble, such a way of handling it is a great provocation to the Grand Dukes of these clans.
If you think about it more carefully, this is the territory of the Thirteen Clan, and it is also the place where one of the Thirteen Grand Dukes, Grand Duke [Toriduo], is buried. But now, without the knowledge of all the Grand Dukes, the heart of an Grand Duke has been destroyed like this.
Nailed with wooden nails!
If this was done by the enemy, it would be the greatest mockery of all the defense systems in the territory of the Thirteen Clan.
The furious princes, with just their anger at this moment, caused the rocks in the ancient cave to be crushed to pieces... At this time, a slight sound of footsteps came from not far away.
That is the normal passage leading to this ancient cave.
What the Twelve Grand Dukes entered was just a hole opened violently... The moment they heard the footsteps, the twelve Grand Dukes all looked at it.
I saw a figure slowly walking into the ancient cave with a candlestick... The candlelight was enough for the Twelve Grand Dukes to clearly see the appearance of this latecomer.
"Is it you...Bailegan?"
"It is a great honor to meet you all again."
Appearing in front of the Twelve Grand Dukes was the acting Grand Duke of the [Toridor] clan...Bailegang.
At this time, Bailegang looked around and saw the opened bronze coffin and the broken scarecrow. He calmly said: "It has been more than a month since the last ecumenical meeting...
…Baile Gang wonders if there is anything going on with the sudden visit of the great dukes."
"Baile Gang, do you know what happened here?" A Grand Duke asked in a deep voice at this time.
But at this time, another Grand Duke suddenly said: "Why are you here... The Grand Duke's resting place, even you, can't just enter it without consent!"
At this time, the Twelve Grand Dukes all set their sights on Bailegang.
Facing the gaze of the oldest vampire among the twelve clans, the acting Grand Duke of the [Toridor] clan seemed a little careless, "Because it feels like something has been opened that shouldn't be opened... It's really
There is no other way, so I can only come in and take a look without permission... In fact, you princes, you really shouldn't open the box inside the scarecrow."
An archduke sneered: "If you don't open it, no one will know the miserable situation of the archduke [Toridor]... and no one will know that it has been murdered... maybe the murderer is you, Bailegang
?”
At this moment, the Twelve Grand Dukes not only have their eyes locked, but also their intention to attack... Once Balegang shows a trace of hesitation, he will withstand the most powerful attack from the Twelve Grand Dukes.
When the Twelve Grand Dukes gathered together, they would naturally not be afraid of the acting Grand Duke of a clan. Even though Bailegang had been a survivor of the war a hundred years ago, he had not yet risen to the level of a Grand Duke.
I saw Baile Gang shaking his head at this time, "I think you may have misunderstood... What I said should not be opened does not mean what you think, but... the box itself should not be opened.
opened."
"No need to talk nonsense with him. After capturing him, drain his blood and then torture him slowly!" A certain Grand Duke who has always been such a direct character sneered at this time: "Perhaps, you can still know something about what happened in the cracks.
changes."
"What happened to the crack?" Bailegang suddenly had a trace of doubt on his face... He was deep in thought.
But two of the Twelve Grand Dukes had already taken action at this time.
Each of these oldest vampires has powerful power, and the long years have given them extremely rich combat experience. It is a matter of course for the two archdukes to successfully capture a junior.
But something strange happened.
The two archdukes who took action at the same time had just approached Bailegang, and their bodies suddenly showed terrifying signs of aging... Their skin was full of vitality, and their young faces seemed to have been affected by millions of years at this moment.
After the baptism of time, it instantly entered a state of decay.
The power...but fell to an unprecedented low in an instant. Almost at the same time, the other ten archdukes also had similar changes in their bodies.
In an instant, his withered hair turned from plump to an ugly and shriveled body.
"Bailegan...what...you...did to us!"
Horrified tone.
The Twelve Grand Duke was shocked and angry at this time. This aging state was simply unbelievable to a vampire. Even if he was fasting, he would never be in such an aging state.
They even felt the approach of death.
"Didn't I say that something that shouldn't be opened was opened?" Balegang casually knocked away the two archdukes in front of him.
The two archdukes, whose bodies had aged instantly, could not even resist. Their bodies were directly knocked out and hit the rock wall of the cave.
"You are aging much faster than I thought..."
At this time, Bailegang slowly walked up to the damaged scarecrow, as if mocking, "It seems that in order to prepare for the next [Holy Blood] ceremony, so many Grand Dukes have really put in a lot of effort... It should be,
Draw out a lot of your own original blood, right?"
"No! We know your abilities very well...you don't have the ability to make people age!"
The voices of the grand dukes were quite certain...but there was a hint of fear in the affirmation.
Their physical strength and strength have dropped to a terrifying low point in this short moment... Now they even seem to be inferior to a newborn vampire!
"Huh? Did I say that this was caused by my ability?" Bailegang shook his head and reached out to pick up the box on the ground, "It's this... this is it."
"What's this!?"
At this time, Bailegang chuckled, "[pandora]."
"[pandora]...Pandora's Box?"
The Twelve Grand Dukes, who were already dying, had an expression of extreme horror on their faces at this moment.
As the grand duke of the clan, they are the ruling level figures in the [Inhuman Realm], so they naturally know the nature of the [Inhuman Realm] very well.
This is actually a special space built with the ruined kingdom of the Greek god system. In this former kingdom of god, there are many treasures from the original Greek god system, such as the Master of the Red Flame Tower of the Magicians Association.
There is a legendary golden apple tree.
"You actually... actually placed such a terrifying thing in the resting place of the clan prince?!"
It is no longer time to think about how this terrifying thing fell into the hands of Bailegang, but... the current bad situation!
They went from being unbelievably frightened to almost desperate. In just a few tens of seconds, they fell directly from the peak of [inhumanity] to the edge of dying and unable to resist. The gap in the middle was so huge that even if
Even the wind and rain they have experienced over the long years cannot make them adapt immediately.
"I didn't ask you to open it, right?" Bailegang slowly closed the black wooden box expressionlessly, "I never forced you to open it."
"Bailegan...!!!"
An angry archduke, regardless of his dire state, rushed towards him crazily. However, his whole body was now like a rotting corpse. As he moved reluctantly, flesh and blood continued to fall from his body.
He kept stretching out his hands and waving... his wrists began to fall, his arms fell... Finally, he became like a withered bone and fell directly to the ground, turning into a pool of terrifying pus and blood.
At this time, it is still possible to distinguish the strength and weakness between the Grand Duke and the Grand Duke... The stronger one will naturally be able to resist longer.
When the Grand Dukes died, there was not much difference in time... I watched the Grand Dukes die like this one after another in the midst of painful wails and anger... This kind of tortured death method that I had never imagined!
"Why...you...are...nothing...this...magic box...why are you!!"
Balegang did not respond to the question of the Grand Duke who persisted... He didn't even look at these clan leaders who were struggling on the edge of death. Instead, he began to clean up the damaged scarecrow.
He picked up the scattered straw, sat down on the ground, and began to tie the scarecrow back to its original shape...while listening to the screams and curses of the great dukes before they died.
Until... the last Grand Duke also begged for mercy, and finally turned into a pool of pus and blood, and the scarecrow also changed back to its original appearance.
Only then did Bailegang slowly stand up, silently packing up everything in the ancient cave and even placing the scarecrow back into the giant bronze coffin.
Later, he fetched a broom, put on an apron, and began to clean up the things left behind after the death of the grand dukes.
"A hundred years ago, you have obtained too many things from that place...but you, it seems, are not satisfied."
The broom swept away the remains of these princes one by one, and only the voice of Bailegang slowly sounded.
"Later, when the first tower master Hui Yao proposed a union, you didn't even think too much about it, and quickly decided to destroy that place and seize everything from them... You were like an audience in the arena, sending everyone into the arena.
In the midst of the struggle between this giant beast... those of you who have not experienced the horror of that war, have you ever thought about the despair we felt when we faced that horror... just like we are now."
When the last cleaning objects were swept away, Bailegang picked up the candlestick again and closed the entrance to the ancient cave... Before leaving, Bailegang stood at the stone door, leaning against the stones, and said to himself
Talk to yourself.
"It can be regarded as getting justice for you...even though it is not in the way I originally thought, and at the same time it comes so suddenly..."
"Just rest in peace...my comrades."
After he left, the place became quiet again... The Grand Duke's heart, hidden in the magic box, still continued to release the Grand Duke's aura.
It will make the vampires of the [Toridor] clan feel at ease... but it is relatively low. At this moment, in the territories of the other twelve clans, they are facing unprecedented terror.
The vampires of the Twelve Clans fell to their knees in pain at this time... The death of the Grand Duke would not deprive them of anything, but it would make them feel sad and extremely uncomfortable.
There is also the question of who will take over if the Grand Duke dies.
…
…
"Is this the cave?"
Standing in front of a dark cave entrance... the golden dragon looked at it sideways.
To this, [Norman] did not respond, but just walked into the cave first... The golden dragon, who was rejected, thought that if he didn't have to maintain his manners in front of the beauty, he should give this vampire brat a shot of dragon fire...
...The taste of kao bat should be pretty good.
With this thought in mind, the golden dragon walked in expressionlessly. After entering, he said very confidently: "Beauty, please feel free to follow me. If there is any danger, I will protect you... It hurts! What is this?"
?”
Looking down, the golden dragon couldn't help but find that a small stone thorn was exposed on the ground... Its feet were like the protrusion, and the stone thorn directly pierced it. But the golden dragon, what sharp things can't stop the dragon scale?
"Miro-chan, you look like you're in pain?" Boss Luo just asked curiously.
"Oh...it's nothing." The golden dragon smiled slightly, "It's just a small thing, you see."
With that said, the golden dragon took a step forward with the foot that was not touched by the stone thorns... Tsk!
The second root.
It hurts so much!!!
Keep up the good looks, keep up the good looks, keep up the good looks... keep up your sister!!
"Miro-chan?" Boss Luo called softly.
The golden dragon turned around gracefully, covered his mouth and chuckled: "It makes you worry, I'm really... kind of happy."
Having said that, the golden dragon learned the lesson this time and no longer kept his feet on the ground, but quietly floated up, a few inches above the ground... Can't the magic element be replenished in this place? Damn it!
Then, Fafnir's head accidentally hit a stalagmite that was extra long for some reason and grew from the top of the cave...
God knows why the stalagmite was not broken by the impact, but instead the golden dragon hit its forehead and made a big bump?
