Without warning, the ground began to shake and surge.
The group of people who had just disembarked from the treasure ship "Silver" suddenly became serious.
"...Is this place going to collapse?"
Ofhisi was stroking the strings a little uneasily.
He looked at the female centaur Lucia: "Can you take a look, Lulu?"
"let me try……"
Lucia tapped her four hooves uneasily and stretched out her white and slender hands forward. Her nails were sharp, white and bright, like jade flakes.
As she sorted out something in the void, her expression became more and more solemn.
"Fortunately, it's not going to collapse."
She took a deep breath: "But you still have to be careful..."
At this moment, the second wave of impact swept over.
Like an invisible roar, the ground did not move this time, and the surrounding ancient low stone buildings were not damaged in any way. But they stumbled backward... as if they were pushed hard by something,
The body was instantly immersed in the freezing cold.
It is full of hateful power.
Ai Lei's expression changed.
"Feel sorry!"
She shouted quickly.
Selicia frowned slightly, and just wanted to reach out and grab her, but it was still a step too late.
I saw four rainbow-colored light strips suddenly burst out from behind Ai Lei, which looked like weird wings, tentacles, or even the tentacles of some indescribable thing.
The moment the light band emerged, her body was covered by the colorful light flow, and her entire body turned into a huge illusory human form.
A strong curse breath erupted from her body, forming a colorful halo visible to the naked eye. The halo covered her body, forming a twisted figure in the style of Kelaqi, just like a witch in the enchantment.
Just looking at her made Selicia's head tilt back violently as if she had received a heavy blow. Orpheus felt a less intense dizziness.
This is even more obvious for horse people who have extremely strong perception.
She whined and stumbled back, blood spilled from her mouth and nose, and blood instantly soaked in between her fingernails.
The next moment, the rainbow-colored storm formed by the curse surged wildly, pushing them away instantly.
The huge figure in the style of Kelaqi quickly disappeared before his eyes like a piece of thin origami.
Like the contrails left by jet planes, many rainbow-colored light strips still remain in the sky at twisted angles, illuminating the dim and lightless underground.
"That is……"
Ao Feishi looked at the direction in which Ailei was leaving in shock: "God?"
It’s as shocking as if the furry puppet next to you suddenly turned into a huge lion...
"...I saw it, it's the half-body of the God of Bones and Betrayal [Skeleton Lord]."
When Ai Lei revealed her true form, her destiny suddenly became clear.
The centaur Lucia, who could look directly into her destiny, said with a complex expression: "Do you still remember the story she told before she came here?"
According to the rules of the Silver Tour Group, everyone who wants to borrow "silver" to go to their destination must tell a story of their own, that is, why they want to go there. If the story doesn't sound so boring, they will be willing to take it with them.
One way for the other party.
And the story Ailei told... was that her father abandoned her without any warning, and Ailei planned to catch up and find out. Only recently did she find out that her father was planning to go to the destroyed Song Song Principality.
Why was such a cute girl abandoned?
And what if her father had to go to the Duchy of Song, which was almost forgotten by people?
This did make Selicia a little interested.
Her request was to "watch the whole incident until it ends" to make sure that she had not been deceived. And as compensation, they could help Ai Lei to a certain extent.
...Looking back now.
I'm afraid Ai Lei's father is the skeleton man...
It makes perfect sense for Duke Skeleton to go to the Principality of Funeral Song.
Is it abnormal for people to go back to their hometown to visit relatives?
"...Then what should we do now?"
"Lily" wearing a mask couldn't help but said: "Do you really want to see it?"
Everyone looked at each other.
And on the other side.
When the Lord of Bones destroyed the statue of Granny Burying Bones together with the tomb behind her.
The surroundings began to vibrate horribly, as if some giant beast was waking up underground, or as if a machine was roaring, and everything around was rumbling and shaking.
The Bone Lord, who had just attacked the statue of the Bone Burying Mother-in-Law, quietly looked up to the sky.
In other words, looking at the rock formations... and the city above the rock formations.
"People call my country 'Mourning Song', or the country of giants. But how many people still remember its real name?"
The old and deep voice of Mr. Bones sounded: "Forgetting... is betrayal."
The roaring around him became more and more intense, even gradually burying the voice of the Skeleton Man. There was even a huge squeaking sound, like the sound of a huge truck being dragged on the ground as it failed to brake in time.
But the voice of the Bone Man still came calmly amidst the huge noise.
"Its real name is called [Eternal Life Principality]. But this does not mean that all citizens have eternal life... but that the ruler of the principality is called 'Eternal Life Duke', just like the ancestor of the Duke of Winter, 'Shuangyu Duke'
.
"As I said, giants are a race that looks down on 'life and death'. And this open-mindedness comes from their preparations to reach the 'death that must come'... This 'death that must come' is the end point in the giant's philosophy.
.
"But there is a problem here... Ordinary giants can indeed prepare themselves in advance in order to pursue a more peaceful, more complete, and more pure death. Cut off the karma, forget the old feelings, and live in silence, surrounded by everyone.
The forgotten corner died without a name.
"But, I can't do it."
The Bone Man's voice was almost drowned in the noise.
Obviously nothing has changed around. The ground has not collapsed, the tombs have not cracked, and the ceilings are intact. But the noise around them is getting louder and louder... There are even sounds of falling and damage.
It was like the sound of huge iron or wooden boxes falling from the sky and cracking or breaking on the ground.
At this time, Bone Man's voice gradually became louder.
"Why are we called Yongsheng Gong? Because we, the rulers, have been imprisoned in this pure white heavy armor for generations and passed down from generation to generation. We only have one name. That is [Yongsheng Gong].
"No one knows which generation of Yongsheng I am, and no one knows when the previous generation of Yongsheng died or where he was buried. People don't care about these...
"They pretend that their Grand Duke is an immortal person. Everyone is playing the role even though they already know that there is no immortal thing in the world, and mortals cannot live forever. Because of this, they do not need to be successors, continuation of decrees, and friendship.
I am worried about the continuation and forgetting. Everything that needs to be remembered can be delegated to [Yongsheng Gong].
"All deaths worth remembering will be remembered by their Grand Duke; and they can easily forget everything and usher in a free and unburdened death."
The so-called [Eternal Life Duke] is the living tombstone of the Eternal Life Principality.
It records the fate of everyone, and records the relationship between everyone... The only [existence] that is not allowed to die or let go is not a person, but just a certain existence, a certain symbol,
Lord Skeleton said calmly: "But my compatriots don't know a thing until they die... Of course, maybe they don't care about it either.
"That is... the inheritance of [Yongsheng Gong] has ended long ago.
"My rule lasted for more than four hundred years, while the lifespan of a giant is one hundred and fifty years. That's because...in the twenty-fourth year of my rule, I had already transformed myself into an undead. That is
The initial betrayal."
The voice of the Bone Master gradually became distant and vague: "For whom are the so-called funeral songs sung?
"Yes, the funeral song is for me."
Finally, the space began to shatter.
It's not like glass being broken...but like the germination of seeds, or the hatching of chicks.
Something that cannot be seen directly leaks out.
The rainbow-colored, twisted "angel" came from afar and launched an attack on the Skeleton King without hesitation.
A stream of rainbow-colored light emerged from the tip of the "four wings" and focused on the skeleton male like a laser beam from a detective.
"Stop, father!"
Ai Lei's voice with heavy echo sounded, and the sharp and vague baby's voice and the sweet girl's voice sounded in the air at the same time.
But the laser beam failed to get close to the Bone Man, and was stopped by something transparent and water-like outside his body.
The moment Ai Lei came into contact with the Bone Man, the surrounding space suddenly boiled.
The twisted brilliance on Ailei's body spread into the surrounding air in an instant.
The tombs turned into houses full of life, the dim underground world turned into the brilliance of the sunset. The dust on the ground turned into grass, and giants emerged among the empty tombs.
It's just that everything is as fragmented as a painting.
"Although you noticed it, it was too late. You were fooled."
Lord Bones said calmly: "The meaning of your existence is to be betrayed again...
