Although this place is called the Great Library, the number of ancient books stored there is not very large, not even one ten millionth of the size of the Great Library of Souls. It is not that Lieyang Star has no background. At the end of the First Era, it was the dragon that swallowed the abyss.
·Guzi broke through the heavy protective barriers of Lieyang Star and spewed dragon flames into the city above Lieyang City.
With the hatred between the ancient dragon camp and the sun camp, of course, how to make each other more painful and how to destroy it. Burning down the royal palace in the central city is enjoyable, but it won't take long for the Sun God Clan to make the tribes that rely on them build a bigger and more magnificent one.
The royal palace is actually a large library in the royal city. There are many rare books here, and 99% of these books are unique.
The Dragon of the Abyss, Guzi, has swallowed up even the energy of the abyss. It is a miracle that it can still maintain a certain degree of sanity. Naturally, it does not care what kind of damage it will cause to the civilization of the First Era by burning the large library in the royal city. In addition, at the end of the First Era, it is
The Sun and Ancient Dragon camps fought at their most ferocious.
In the end, Guz, the dragon that devoured the abyss, was killed by the Sun King who drove back, but the large library of the royal city was reduced to ashes, and one-fifth of the royal city buildings were reduced to ruins.
The tall bookshelf made of walnut wood stands tall, with the patina of time on it, giving the wood grain a sense of time. When you pick up the ancient books on the bookshelf and smell them, you can still smell a faint burnt smell.
Next to the tall bookshelf at the innermost side, there is a candlestick on a small round wooden table. The darkness in the latter half of the night is somewhat driven back by the dim candlelight. A stooped and skinny old man stands on the edge of the candlelight.
In front of the bookshelf, the old hand took an ancient book. The bark-like skin seemed to be older than the ancient book.
This frail old man in a gray robe is actually the leader of the Great Library camp, the Eyeless Sage. Not only are his eye holes pitch black, but because the gray robe is open, you can see that he is so dry that his ribs are visible.
The chest, and further down, is the empty abdomen, just like the abdomen that has been ripped open by a wild beast, there is darkness, as if it is this darkness that allows these old monsters to continue to live.
A few meters away, Su Xiao was sitting on a crystal chair, reading an ancient book on pharmacy. After meeting the old monster, he discovered that the other party was not an Immortal species, or even a Sun God clan, but a human race.
The more this happens, the more powerful the old monster is. Looking at the entire sun camp, the old monster is definitely not the strongest, but he is the most viable.
This is also the puzzling point. When Su Xiao first came to Twilight City, he was always on guard against this old monster who had lived from the first era to the present. But as things developed later, he found that the old monster was the one with the least desires and desires.
Augustus and Black Bertha, who are fighting for power, form a sharp contrast.
This makes people wonder, what is the purpose of the old monster? And why did he endure the pain of the erosion of the abyss and survive until the third era?
You know, if the old monster wants to become the controller of Twilight City, not to mention the current Lord of the Sun, Ashlot, even Ashlot's grandfathers are no match for this old monster.
Combining all this, the old monster no longer feels like he is plotting something, but more like he is waiting for something. Under such circumstances, cooperating with this old monster is the best choice at the moment. In any case, Su Xiao is an outsider.
If he doesn't cooperate with one of the local forces, the powerful people in Twilight City who have been unhappy with him for a long time will swarm him.
It is not difficult to kill all the powerful people in Twilight City, but the problem is that they will not be able to enter Twilight City openly.
"That happened a long time ago. A group of us strayed into that dark place, and only three of us came out alive. Compared to the two of them, the traces I left in future generations are not worth mentioning."
The old monster Eyeless Sage spoke.
"..."
Su Xiao looked suspiciously at the old monster who was wiping the cover of the ancient book. He had not made any clear purpose since he came.
"Huh? Didn't you just ask about what happened to the three of us? Did I remember it wrong? What did you ask just now?"
"I did not say anything."
"No way, lying is not a good habit for young people."
The old monster put the wiped ancient books back into their original places, then took the one he had just wiped and started to wipe it again.
Su Xiao has seen many old Yinbies with outstanding acting skills. It is unheard of for them to be able to play the role of an old monster. In addition, there is no need for the other party to perform this kind of performance under such circumstances. It is speculated that the control of this big library
It seems that there is some... memory loss caused by Alzheimer's disease.
"Dharma Destroyer, you just said, what is your name?"
"white night."
"Oh, Bai Ye."
The old monster nodded thoughtfully, put back the wiped ancient book, picked up the second one that had just been wiped, and wiped it carefully. Judging from the wear and tear of the nearby ancient books, the old monster specifically harmed them.
Ah, it's a cyclic form of forgetting.
"Don't worry, I still remember very important things. For example, you just came to Lieyang Star yesterday."
"..."
"It seems that I remembered it wrong. You should be more tolerant towards the elderly, not to mention that I am alive..."
Speaking of this, the old monster suddenly got stuck. He seemed to be meditating on how many years he had lived. Seeing this, Su Xiao's eyes became more solemn. Based on the other person's current memory, if he could really recall how many years he had lived, it would be difficult.
They were all so tired that they fell asleep.
"Two and a half eras."
Hearing Su Xiao's reminder, the old monster looked suspicious and asked: "Have I lived for so long? It's terrible. Then I have become an immortal old monster. But how did I live for so long? It seems like eating
Lost...darkness?"
The old monster narrowed his dark eyes without eyeballs, then shook his head in disappointment, and then asked: "That..."
"white night."
"Oh, Bai Ye, what are you doing here this time?"
"I need "prophet enlightenment", please give me a price."
"Well, let me think about where to put this ancient book. It seems to be on my bookshelf? Come with me."
The old monster made a move. For some reason, Su Xiao had a vague feeling that the old monster should never be so kind and kind. The other party had such an attitude for the following reasons.
1. The negotiation effect derived from Su Xiao’s own charm attribute.
Ahem, let’s rule this out first.
2. Some of my previous actions have gained the favor of the old monster.
This is not very reliable. When he first came to Twilight City, he sensed the old monster in the direction of the Great Library that swallowed the darkness of the abyss and survived until the third era. He remained vigilant and wait-and-see. Although he did not have a hostile attitude, he did not
As for making the other person so kind and kind.
3. As a law destroyer, I finally received positive feedback in terms of negotiation.
Thinking of this, Su Xiao immediately recalled Green Gillian. It happened frequently because of the opponent's shooting. Now this time, there was finally positive feedback from the extermination camp.
More than ten minutes later, in the old monster's study on the lower floor of the big library, he fumbled on the bookshelf for a moment and took out an ancient book.
"I got this "Prophet's Enlightenment"...where did I get it?"
The old monster thought for a moment and didn't think of it, so he simply stopped thinking about this unimportant matter. Thinking about it, if he remembered all the trivial matters from the first era to the present, no matter how strong his mental body was, he would also
Going crazy due to memory confusion.
"Who are you going to give this ancient book to?"
"Xiguang City, City Lord."
"Oh, it's that little brat. He has established Xiguang City for a few years, and I don't know how it is developing."
"Sharein."
"Huh? This name sounds a bit familiar. Let me think about it...oh~, Xiguang City has been established for so many years. It seems that there have been several generations of city owners."
"What price should I pay for this ancient book?"
"It's a very high price. You can't pay it now. I will collect it when you are qualified. I think this time is not far away. We will witness it together then."
The old monster placed the "Prophet's Enlightenment" on the wooden table next to Su Xiao. After he sat down at the wooden table, he sighed and said: "I, this old guy, can no longer taste the taste of food. I can only taste the food brewed by natural elements."
Fine wine can give this half-dead old monster some flavor."
At the end of the sentence, the old monster sighed.
"..."
Su Xiao took out the elemental wine, and the old monster across the wooden table naturally took two wine glasses from the cabinet shelf. It seemed that his Alzheimer's disease was intermittent, and the old monster was relatively sober at this time.
The skinny old monster, whose robes were loose and open, raised a glass of wine with a somewhat free and easy movement. This was because this was the lowest level of wine in the big star tree and large wine barrel. It had a more mellow taste, but also had a spiciness. The old monster
As the monster spit out the smell of alcohol, its cloudy pupils became clearer.
"Your next opponent will be a nun."
"..."
"It does seem like, give up, this is a trap."
"trap?"
"You should have discovered that only Twilight City can bathe in the sun for a long time. The further away from here, the dimmer the sunlight becomes. When you reach the Sacred Heart City in the south or the Nightmare Land in the north, the sky is dark."
When the old monster said this, he picked up a pottery cup the size of a wine cup and drank the wine in one gulp. This finally made him feel a little bit alive. He continued:
"Lingmian City of the Soul Academy and Sacred Heart City of the Gods Religion are both in the dark place in the south. They directly go to war with Twilight City to compete for the land that is bathed in the sun every day. They don't dare to, but continue,
I’m not willing to give in, so…”
"The road to becoming a king."
"Yes, the 32 "Sun Source Stones" originally owned by the Sun God Clan are now scattered all over the place and are owned by many powerful people. The trial of becoming a king in the name of recovering the "Sun Source Stone" is the best reason.
It makes Twilight City unable to refuse, and it can also wait for the opportunity."
The old monster revealed the secret contained in the "Road to Become a King". In simple terms, this is a trial launched by Soul Academy and Sacred Heart City to Twilight City. Each of the three parties sent a team to recapture the "Sun Source".
"Stone", if Twilight City shows any signs of weakness during this period, Soul Academy and Sacred Heart City will rush forward.
If Twilight City is an old lion, then Soul Academy and Sacred Heart City are like crocodiles and hyenas. Neither the crocodiles nor the hyenas can figure out how much this old lion can do. Neither side wants to be.
Each other's cannon fodder.
This is why Team Su Xiao, Team Father, and Team Great Smart, these three teams of outsiders can represent Twilight City, Soul Academy, and the Gods Religion in this road to becoming king. This is because the teams before the three parties
, were all beaten to death by the beast gods, giant tree kings, and blood-thirsty beasts, because, in fact, the goal of the three parties was not to complete the road to becoming a king.
What the three parties didn't expect was that each of the three teams that had agreed to deal with it was actually stronger than the last. So far, the three teams had defeated three strong enemies each and were about to challenge the fourth strong enemy of their respective teams.
Especially the Church of the Gods, after figuring out the origins of the priest, the platinum apostle, and the archbishop of the abyss, they immediately stopped playing. They will not participate in the follow-up of this matter. These three randomly selected teams are really embarrassing.
numb.
Among them are humanoid ancient gods who silently devour the destiny system. The highest echelon of the Dark God Religion is the Abyss Archbishop.
The Dark Devil, the star devourer who was reincarnated not long ago.
After the senior leaders of the Gods Religion found out these things at a great cost, several senior people were numb. The next day, they said that the subsequent road to becoming a king had nothing to do with them.
, completely handed over to the three members of the priest team.
After the Soul Academy discovered this situation, they also began to investigate. Unfortunately, there were no very strong diviners here, so they obtained relevant information from the Gods Religion at a high price.
After noticing the nightmare lineup of the three teams, the attitude of the Soul Academy was simple and clear, goodbye.
When Twilight City saw this situation, they were ready to stop the trial on the road to becoming a king. Whether it was the old nobles or the new dignitaries, they themselves did not want Twilight City to participate in this trial. If they did not directly communicate with the gods,
Teacher, the price of turning against the Soul Academy is too high, they have already broken up with each other.
Faced with this situation, Su Xiao would certainly not agree. He had already dealt with the fourth powerful enemy, and he wanted to end the Twilight City as soon as it was said to be over? In addition, his main mission was this King's Trial, so of course he would not
They gave up midway, which is why tonight, the old nobles and the new dignitaries are willing to temporarily join forces to deal with Su Xiao.
However, the hole dug by the old nobles and the new dignitaries is not here, but the fourth powerful enemy that Su Xiao has to deal with, the nun.
"Where did I just say that?"
The old monster's eyes became cloudy again. Seeing this, Su Xiao stood up and left. After he left, the old monster looked at the flickering candlelight, somewhat lost in thought.
"Yes, it's long past the time for the three of us. Our sun is about to set."
After the old monster finished speaking, the flickering candle went out, and he gradually fell silent in the darkness.
Su Xiao walked out of the main entrance of the big library, and the early morning sun reflected on the top of the city wall.
"Hey, don't pretend you didn't see me."
Delona, who was wearing a black dress, spoke out. She was sitting on the roof of the Lord train, shaking her calves.
"My brother asked me to summon this to take you out of Twilight City. He also said that it is very dangerous here now."
Delona was eating the delicacies that looked like steamed buns while talking vaguely. This is Delona's character. How happy is Delona since she left the dark moon nightmare and shared a body with Ayesha?
Yesha is so depressed.
In the past, the relationship between the two was not hostile, but they disliked each other. Therefore, Delona, who had had control over her body for a long time, often had bad ideas, such as going to a restaurant to eat, deliberately asking the waiter for some chili, and forcing herself to endure the spicy food.
After chewing it for a while, he suddenly gave Ayesha control of his body while her consciousness was not paying attention.
Ayesha, who was enjoying the silence in the dark, suddenly came to a noisy restaurant with her mouth full of chili peppers. You can imagine the situation.
What made Ayesha even more gloomy was that Delona enjoyed doing this kind of thing. In the end, Ayesha simply sealed herself in the conscious space. This made Delona very uncomfortable. At first, she shared it with Ayesha.
She was inevitably a little repulsed by a body, but when the other person completely ignored her and almost gave up control of her body, it didn't take long for her to miss Ayesha.
Right now, Delona is in a irritable mood where she misses Ayesha but can't see her.
"Bai Ye, how can I see Ayesha? She ignores me~!"
Delona lay back on the roof of the train.
"I wouldn't pay attention to you. If anyone else dared to harm Ayesha like this, they would have been cursed to death by her long ago. She is the embodiment of a hotbed of darkness."
Baha on Su Xiao's shoulder spoke. After hearing what Baha said, Delona, who was lying on the roof of the train, suddenly sat up. She deliberately looked at Baha with one big eye and one small eye, with all kinds of bad ideas in her mind.
.
Baha's expression twitched. It has traveled through so many worlds, but it can only be troubled by two people. The first one is the ultimate green tea, Crystal Princess, and the second one is Delona in the black dress. It is unimaginable, a nightmare of the dark moon.
How miserable those nightmare creatures have been caused by this little aunt over the years.
"Ayesha, Ayesha! I was wrong. Don't ignore me. By blood, I am your biological sister. Do you treat your sister like this?"
Speaking of this, Delona's eyes were filled with tears. However, Ayesha, who was in the darkness of her conscious space, ignored her. However, the slightly raised corners of her lips meant that she was not disgusted with Delona, but in the next second
, after she sensed a handful of chili peppers in Delona's small white hand in her pocket, her eyes became even darker with anger.
"Hey~, sister has learned to be smart, Bai Ye, why don't we leave?"
Delona spoke. She dared to play rogue with others, but she didn't dare to be presumptuous with Su Xiao. Su Xiao swallowed up the energy of the demon spirit. Where did the energy of the demon spirit come from? The answer is that the demon spirit of the blade transformed "Immortal Spirit"
"Destruction·The Origin of Abyss Breeding Creatures", the dark hotbed, is one of the most powerful types of abyss breeding.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't say anything. Of course he didn't have to leave Twilight City, and he had to go to the "inner city" to go to the only entrance to the "central city", the Ancient Palace of Silence.
At this moment, Houcheng District, Silver Coconut Manor.
This is one of the largest manors in the inner city. As the residence of a new powerful leader, it is needless to say how luxurious it is. However, the atmosphere in Silver Coconut Manor is particularly solemn today. The lineup that surrounded Su Xiao last night is now
At least half of them are stationed in the manor.
In the restaurant on the third floor of the mansion, the breakfast was not rich but exquisite. Unfortunately, Black Bertha didn't have any appetite. Last night's siege was like tearing her face. She was sure that the revenge of the law destroyer would come soon. In Black Bertha's case,
In Shah's opinion, for a spell-killer who rushes to challenge the beast god, tower knight captain, and false king, assassination is the fastest and easiest way to achieve revenge.
After waiting all night, the expected assassination did not come. Instead, the old noble August went to the central city to present the [Fire Sun Sword]. In return, the old fox was about to return to the inner city with the monarch's holy emblem.
, this means that in the subsequent confrontation with the old aristocratic camp, the new dignitaries led by Black Bertha will be suppressed and beaten, with almost no room to fight back.
Thinking of this, Black Bertha was in an extremely bad mood. At the dining table, she gently rubbed her forehead with one hand, thinking about the follow-up countermeasures. At this moment, her trusted subordinates banged the door and rushed into the restaurant, panting.
Open your mouth and say something.
"Don't panic, we have considered the worst results."
Black Bertha's face, which had begun to show wrinkles, was inevitably a bit lonely. The confrontation with the old fox was ultimately defeated. As for the exterminator who had not arrived in Twilight City for a long time, he was just an outsider. Even if he had strength, he was still hindered by
Since the power under his command is limited, he cannot come up with any plans in a short period of time.
"Sir, good news. The old fox Augustna was killed by an assassin! The Holy Emblem of the Sovereign was also lost. I have confirmed the news and it is absolutely true!"
There was an uncontrollable smile on the confidant's face. Hearing this, Bertha Black's eyes flashed with suspicion. Her first thought was that the old man was faking his death, but then she thought about it and realized that this might not be possible.
The joy in my heart did not flow out, but an idea emerged. The old fox Augustus died, and the Holy Emblem of the Sovereign was still lost. What should the old nobles do? This is like falling directly from heaven to hell. The old nobles will be affected by this.
Crazy to the point of hysteria.
"Cukulin Baiye, you..."
Black Bertha's expression was extremely ugly. After thinking for a moment, she dropped her napkin and stood up. She said to her confidants: "Immediately arrange for me to leave the city and go to... Sunlight City."
"As ordered, my lord, before noon, I promise you..."
"Immediately! I will leave Twilight City within half a quarter of an hour."
"Yes Yes."
The confidant quickly bowed his head, and Bertha Black sighed and walked out of the restaurant.
Pfft~!
The blood-stained tip of the knife pierced Black Bertha's chest. She staggered forward for half a step. She looked down at the blood that gradually slipped away and turned into a bright and cold knife tip. For the first time, there was some disbelief in her eyes, even if she had just heard
When Augustus died, she was not so shocked.
"Lord Augustus asked me to say goodbye to you on his behalf. Farewell forever."
The confidant pulled out the short knife that penetrated the heart, which caused Black Bertha to fall to the ground with a thud. In the spreading pool of blood, she stared at her confidant, feeling unbelievable until her death. This confidant who had followed her for decades was actually Austrian.
Gus' men.
At the same time, in the inner city and south of the city, in an underground laboratory, in a metal pool engraved with spells, a man in his early 30s stood up from the slightly viscous translucent liquid, and a device connected to his body
After the biological tubes were detached, the man's body used his lungs to breathe for the first time. It inevitably seemed unfamiliar, and his breathing was slightly noisy. But soon, he felt how comfortable this young and strong body was.
This body looks like the eldest son of Augustus. Augustus took away his own son? Of course not. Many years ago, Augustus' eldest son was ambushed and killed by his enemies. This matter was hidden by Augustus. At the same time,
He also had a plan. He needed a brand new identity, one that could command both the old nobles and the new dignitaries.
Therefore, although Augustus guessed a bit of Su Xiao's conspiracy, he chose not to use a substitute and use his own body. At present, it seems that he will become the biggest winner in this assassination. He now has the body and energy of a 30-year-old
, a city that is hundreds of years old, and also knows the weaknesses and hidden mysteries of more than 90% of the old nobles and new dignitaries.
"Cukulin Baiye, thank you for giving me this God-given opportunity. In return, you should die. I will be uneasy if you don't die."
Augustus spoke as if he was talking to himself. He took a deep breath again. The wonderful feeling of his new body made him smile. He put on his robe and as soon as he walked out of the metal pool, he saw a figure standing next to him.
Next to the glass pillar a few meters away, this person was dressed in gray and white feathers and wearing a bone mask with bright red outline lines.
"Whatever Baiye bids, I will pay a hundred times."
Augustus almost gritted his teeth and spoke, but in the next moment, he couldn't move at all.
Da da da……
Xiao walked step by step and arrived in front of Augustus. The short knife, as thin as a cicada's wing, wiped across Augustus's throat and neck. The knife was not stained with blood. Xiaoxiao walked step by step outside the underground laboratory. When the underground laboratory
The exit door fell again, and a huge amount of blood spattered from August's neck, and August fell to the ground.
Even until his death, Augustus didn't understand how the other party tracked him. For this reincarnation, he even abandoned his former soul body. He extracted the original soul energy in advance and gathered it into soul seed in the new body.
Reshaping the soul body took up the wealth he had accumulated for hundreds of years as the leader of the old aristocracy, and he was able to achieve it reluctantly with great flaws.
…
Inner city, the innermost area.
The melee that just occurred here left the surrounding area in chaos. The old noble Augustus was assassinated on this main street.
Logically speaking, this area should be tightly sealed off. However, when Augustus and Black Bertha were involved in the accident at the same time, the senior officials in the inner city have begun to confront each other, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. However, the old nobles and the new dignitaries
They were very restrained, and both sides were surprised to find that although both sides had lost their leaders, they had regained a wonderful balance.
The buildings on both sides of the street were getting older and older. When Su Xiao reached the deepest part of the inner city, he was blocked by a high wall. This high wall was several hundred meters high. If he tried to enter it by flying, he would be burned to ashes by the scorching sun.
An ancient but magnificent hall is the only entrance to this high wall. This is the Ancient Palace of Silence.
The giant metal door opened opposite blocked the way. For some reason, there was no guard in front of the door.
Su Xiao pushed open a giant metal door with both hands. With the sound of the door opening, the scene of the Silent Ancient Palace came into view. The palace was very quiet, but if you listened carefully, there seemed to be murmurs in the air, and dark chains were scattered throughout the palace.
, these chains become thinner as they gather towards the center, and in the center is a figure wrapped in black chains, located a few meters in the air.
When Su Xiao stepped into the silent ancient palace, all the chains in the palace turned red and began to turn into molten iron and scattered on the ground. The figure bound by the chains fell smoothly. She opened her eyes and looked at them calmly.
