"If it was before, I would have thought so, but now I may have a different view."
The middle-aged and elderly "Night Watcher" deacon slowly shook his head. He cast his gaze at the "Eye of the Goddess" Yin Liya behind the desk, who was wearing a black and red clergy robe, with long black hair bound only by a crimson hairband, and asked in a deep voice.
road:
"Sir, do you think there is any difference between the 'Pale Queen' and a real angel?"
As soon as his question came out, everyone in the office fell into silence and shock. They were all the middle and senior leaders of the Church of the Night responsible for handling affairs in the Southern Continent, and perhaps they were not as powerful as Dai Li, who had mastered "0-93"
Simone, but the corresponding authority will not be lower than hers.
But when it comes to angels, this is their blind spot. The only person in the entire southern continent who is qualified to know the corresponding knowledge and has dealt with angels is "Eye of the Goddess" Yin Liya.
"There is a difference, she is not a real angel."
Yin Liya thought for a while and gave her own answer. She believed that if she encountered a real angel, she would be more likely to die on the spot, instead of only losing ten years of life like now. Once the angel's mythical biological form is opened,
She couldn't even open her eyes.
"Then do you think the 'Pale Queen' is equivalent to a real angel for the Beyonders of the 'Death' path? I mean including the leader of the 'Artificial Death Sect', Heitel."
Now everyone in the office understood the question that the middle-aged and elderly deacon wanted to ask.
The high-sequences of the "Death God" path suppress the low-sequences very strongly, so powerful that they can almost enslave the opponent. In this case, the "Pale Queen" who holds the "0" level sealed object has a strong influence on the "Pale Queen" whose status is below her.
For those who are extraordinary in the "God of Death" path, they are absolutely no less than angels.
Everyone in the office knows that Heitel, the leader of the "Artificial Death Sect", is also an angel, but he has been in poor condition since the beginning of colonization.
In this case, the "Pale Queen" Shia Palenque Eggers can fully suppress the "Artificial Death Sect" in all aspects, especially since the "Artificial Death Sect" is also excluded within the Spiritual Religion.
, was considered blasphemous.
But now, at least for more than a hundred years, the "Pale Queen" who has led the "Royal Faction" to a powerful revival has not behaved this way.
"You mean, Shia Palenque Eggers is deliberately controlling, and she doesn't want to eliminate the 'Artificial Death Sect'?"
"I can't judge this." The middle-aged and elderly deacon shook his head, "But from this point of view, the 'Pale Queen' definitely has some remaining strength."
The archbishop also nodded:
"In fact, the resistance of the Balang people led by the 'Royal Faction' is far less intense than that of the Rose School. There are rarely large-scale bloody incidents, and they are all maintained in small-scale conflicts."
"Well, I understand. When looking for the 'Pale Hand', we should also pay attention to the relevant trends of the 'Royal Faction'."
…
In the northwest of North Olit State, a huge palace made of white boulders and bones of strange creatures is located on a pyramid-like platform, hidden in the surrounding lush forests.
This is the Palenque Palace, which almost corresponds to the Mausoleum of the Balam Empire in the Southern Continent. The only difference is that the former was the place where successive consuls of the Balam Empire ruled during their lifetimes. Its name comes from Palenque, the last consul of the Balam Empire.
· Eggers.
More than a thousand years ago, after the death of the "God of Death", the rule of the Balam Empire began to waver. There was a wave of resistance against the imperial rule in places such as the Star Plateau and the Pas River Valley. They only relied on the tough methods of Palenque Eggers.
It was barely able to survive. Later, the appearance of the "Bound God" caused the collapse of the Palenque dynasty, and the empire became fragmented, and the Spiritual Order was born.
The current owner of this Palenque Palace is the leader of the "Royal Faction", a descendant of the Balam royal family, and the self-proclaimed "Pale Queen" Shia Palenque Eggers.
In fact, the senior leaders of the Spiritual Religion knew that, especially the members of the "Royal Faction", they knew more about the bloodline of the "Pale Queen". Although the other party's name was very similar to the last Death Archon, she was not that person.
A direct descendant. If she is not a demigod, then there are countless royal descendants with such thin blood.
But more than a hundred years ago, when the Northern Continent's fleet entered the Southern Continent, destroyed the northern Kingdom of Pas, and was about to invade the area protected by the "Royal Faction", Shia Palenque Eggers showed extremely strong
With their military capabilities, they not only repelled the first batch of Intis troops, but also retained most of the effective forces and hid in this area before the next round of invasion.
After the angels were dispatched in the northern continent, Shia even gained the recognition of the "Sacrificial Crown" reserved by the "Royal Faction", and joined forces with Heitel, the leader of the "Artificial Death Faction", to deal with it. However, the angel-level power was scarce, and the spiritual power was still there.
The cult lost a god-level sealed artifact corresponding to the characteristics of Sequence 1 "Pale Emperor".
It was precisely with the merits of the two crises and the recognition of the "Sacrificial Crown" that the direct descendants of Eggers of the "Royal Faction" recognized Shia Palenque Eggers and promoted him to the position of leader.
She recognized her identity as the "Pale Queen".
"Your Majesty, there is something going on in Vertek City."
A figure wearing a deep black robe embroidered with gold-threaded feathered serpents entered the hall, walked along the corridor to the deepest part of the hall, and then entered the steep stairs leading to the underground. Candlelights on both sides lit up in turn. Soon he came to two
He stopped in front of a huge white stone slab, lowered his head slightly, and stared at the Dutan characters carved on the white stone slab.
Compared with the Dutan language he mastered, the words on it were obviously more abstract, more like the faces of people or monsters, and looked strangely charming.
“Sequence 9, ‘Corpse Collector’;
"Main material: Dried adult black-spotted frog...
"Ability: Possess certain characteristics of a corpse..."
“Sequence 8, ‘Gravedigger’;
"Main material:..."
…
Yes, on the two white slates are the formulas for each sequence of the "God of Death" path, all the way to Sequence 2 "Death Archon", but unfortunately, so far, no one from the "Royal Faction" is qualified to try for promotion, even if they are
Shia Palenque Eggers recognized by the "Sacrificial Crown".
"What did the Church of the Night do again?"
A very majestic female voice came from behind the stone slab, causing Saint Pagal Eggers' back to bend down unconsciously.
"It's not clear yet, but this time they have made a big move, and I don't know if they will take any major action again. The person in charge, Cook, was worried that this was retaliation for our recent actions, so he hurriedly sent a letter."
There was no movement behind the stone slab. Within a few seconds, the entire Palenque Palace was enveloped by an extremely cold and noble aura. Almost everyone lowered their heads and knelt on the ground. Only Pagal Eggers
Standing there, but with his back even more bent and his eyes fixed on the ground, he knew that this was Shia Eggers using the power of the "Sacrificial Crown" to perform divination.
"You're not here for us, but you have to be careful."
When the momentum subsided, the voice of the "Pale Queen" sounded again from behind the stone slab.
"Yes, I will follow your order." Bagal raised his head slightly, showing a gentle face, "Bagal excuses himself."
When Bagal left, the candles on both sides were extinguished one after another, and the underground room of the Palenque Palace was plunged into darkness, like an ancient tomb.
"You came with Bagar?"
Suddenly, the voice of the "Pale Queen" sounded again in the room, and all the candles were lit. The dim yellow light illuminated the room, and also illuminated a figure in front of the two white stone slabs.
He was wearing a black dress from the Northern Continent that would never be worn by members of the "Royal Faction" of the Spiritual Religion, and a silk top hat. He was of medium height, with a bronze complexion, soft facial features, and a small black mole under his right ear.
His vicissitudes of life stared at the familiar and unfamiliar words on the slate, his eyes quite complex.
He is Azik Eggers, the first "Death Consul" of the Balam Empire.
As if because there was no response, footsteps sounded from behind the stone slab, and a figure also wearing a black robe with a feathered snake embroidered with gold threads came out from behind the stone slab.
But unlike Bagar, she wears a crown, a feathered serpent crown.
It is similar to a soldier's helmet, but the surface is covered with a layer of scales, a layer of snake-like scales. The scales are closely attached to the cheeks and forehead, and are not much different from real snake scales.
On the periphery of these scales, on the top and back side of the feathered serpent's crown, the snake scales exploded. These exploded snake scales reflected colorful light under the dim candlelight, exuding coldness.
Long feathers protrude from the top of the feathered snake's crown and from behind the scales on the back side. The colorful lights on the snake's scales shine on it, dyeing the pure white feathers with colorful luster, making them look extremely noble.
The face of Shia Palenque Eggers is also a typical Balan face, with soft features but a cold expression, especially against the backdrop of the feathered serpent crown, it looks more like a god than a person.
"You thought you could escape last time, so you dared to come here?"
Azik Eggers sighed and moved his gaze to Shia:
"You are not fit for this crown."
"Not suitable?" Siya raised the corners of her mouth with a stern smile, "Perhaps you have forgotten what happened last time. Do you need me to help you recall it?"
"Haha..." Azik smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Although my memory is not good, I can still remember recent events. What's more, you can defeat me without the help of this crown, right?"
Shia's smile disappeared instantly. All the demigods in the Southern Continent knew that the "Pale Queen" was a demigod who controlled god-level sealed objects, and therefore had abilities comparable to those of angels.
"I remember the last time I saw you, you were still the 'ferryman'. I didn't expect you to have a breakthrough..."
"Then I'm sorry, His Highness Azik, but you need to stay in Palenque Palace for a long time this time."
Shia Palenque Eggers's expression was a little complicated, but there was no hesitation in her eyes. The scales and feathers of the feathered serpent crown on her head were shaking, as if they were alive. Her expression obviously did not change at all.
But it gives people an extremely weird and terrifying feeling.
The colorful lights on the feathers and scales began to converge, becoming pale, and then enveloped her entire body, as if there was another layer of pale robe covering her black robe embroidered with gold-threaded feathered snakes, letting her breath
More noble and colder.
She was clearly standing at the same height as Azik Eggers, but it seemed as if she was looking down at him.
No, not looking down at Azik, but looking down at everything, as if everything is so insignificant in the face of death.
But Azik Eggers didn't respond at all. He seemed to completely ignore the "Pale Queen" in front of him and thought to himself:
"That won't work. You know, I'm not a person who can stay in one place for a long time. I like to go around and see things that can make my life have a different luster. You should try it too. It feels good.
.You are not like me. I forget every time and need to look at it again and again..."
"I have my people to take care of."
Shia Palenque Eggers's voice was cold and terrifying, as if she didn't want to take care of her people, but wanted to send them all to the underworld.
"That's right..." Azik finally responded. He touched his forehead and showed a warm smile, "Then you should take good care of them. I have a hunch that you will be a very good person."
A leader who is much stronger than me."
At this moment, Shia finally realized something was wrong. The pale light emitted from the crown on her head quickly disappeared, and the pale robe also disappeared, completely returning to its original appearance.
"what you up to?"
"Actually, I don't know either." Azik spread his hands, his smile became bitter, and there was confusion in his eyes, "It's just a premonition that the fate that I have escaped for a thousand years is about to come."
"You're going to find Ludwell?"
Azik glanced at Shia thoughtfully, nodded and said:
"It seems it really has something to do with that ring."
"If Ludwell hadn't owned that ring, Heitel's 'Artificial Death Plan' wouldn't have progressed as fast. As long as the demigods she sent entered that sea area, they basically wouldn't be able to come back.
"Since she started the 'Artificial Death Project', nearly ten demigods have died as a result. Even she herself has to hide in her tomb. Once she leaves there, the 'Death' she created will directly kill
Take her away. But if this can really make the 'God of Death' become a real god, she should be willing to be a sacrifice."
Having said this, the "Pale Queen" sneered at Azik:
"What about you? Our noble 'Death Archon' His Highness Azik Eggers, aren't you going to do something? Or are you going to choose to escape as before?"
"No need to persuade me..." Azik looked up at the dome and sighed, "This is the only thing I can do for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure gradually became dull and disappeared into the room, leaving only his last warning:
"Remember, don't rely too much on that crown. This will not be good for you to become a real 'Pale Emperor'."
