Chapter 1273: Curtain of Time (3)
He had a dream.
In the dream, he seemed to have returned to his youth, which was really a golden age. At that time, he was still strong and powerful. Looking at the entire wasteland, there is no opponent at all. At that time, there were no Bone King Zaso and White Devil Lucy. That was his era, the era of Gris, the black god of death.
In his day, there was only one other man who could stand at his height. But that person can stand so high, not because he has a strong combat power, nor because he has many territories and subordinates. Just because he came back from a place, the land of the lost.
That man was called Rodo, and before joining the expedition, he was just an unknown person. It's a bedbug hiding in the dark, but when he came back from the Forgotten Land and brought back some information about the Forgotten Land, he became a legend. Even Rodo is more talked about than him, oh yes, that bug also wrote a book, calling himself "The Book of Rodo".
At that time, he just thought it was funny. But his fate changed because of this book.
Once he read the book of Rodo, and read the "she" written by Rodo. In that book, Luo Duo described such a woman as "more cruel than Death, more beautiful than Galaxy". This aroused his interest, so he decided to complete the great cause that Rodo's team had not completed.
He just went on the road.
Then, there is no black death in the Great Badlands. People thought he was dead, on that mysterious land. But he is still alive, even though countless days and nights have passed, he still remembers the day when he met her.
When he followed the route taken by Rodo's party, he visited the Rodo Mountains and passed the Rodo Pass. He passed through the shadowy hills, and at last came to the Gate of Sighs, and the first thing he did was to announce his arrival to the dark world.
Not long after, some powerful and intelligent beings attacked him. Among them, there are many beings who are as powerful as him, or even stronger than him. At that time, he didn't know that those were her generals, her most loyal and powerful subordinates.
Now he has also become a member of these lives, the difference is that instead of becoming her general, he has become her steward.
His job changed from fighting to taking care of everything in the castle for her while she was asleep. In this ancient and deep castle, he spent the most splendid age of his life. Now he was getting old, and she was still young, and always would be.
The singing woke him up from his dream.
In his dream, he still relived the bloody but extremely beautiful scene when he first met her.
Then the singing fell into a dream, and he awoke. When he woke up, he opened his eyes for the first time, but he couldn't see anything. Then he laughed self-deprecatingly, seeing her wake up from the iron coffin long before, the shock of returning from a skeleton to a city-like appearance made him goug out his eyes without complaint or regret.
Now that I have seen the most beautiful things in the universe, it makes little difference whether I have these eyes or not.
The fact is also the same, although he is old, but the deep source force still allows him to move as usual. He followed the singing to sense and compare the location and route of the castle. He knew that he was leaving the living quarters and heading towards the castle's Hall of Time through a winding outer corridor.
she is there.
She is indeed here, this place known as the Hall of Time, both the dome and the pillars are all built of abyss crystals glowing with lavender brilliance. The magnificence and magnificence of this hall is not inferior to the dark castle that claims to be made of abyss crystals. At least, every corner of the hall of time is covered with abyss crystals, as if the hall was dug out of a complete and huge crystal. As for the dark castle of the Black Emperor, in fact, there is only one hall that uses abyss crystals, and the other places are replaced by black magic crystals of similar color and material.
In the center of the Hall of Time, there is a circular pool. The pool was filled with the water of Elandi, a waterfall in the valley that flows all year round. The castle brings its water into use and fills this pool all year round. Every day, the pool will automatically change the water, so the water in the pool is clean every day, even in the countless days when she was sleeping, the water in the pool has not stopped changing.
At this moment, she was naked and immersed in the pool water, and the pool water refracted the purple light of the abyss crystal, turning into colorful halos, like gemstones sinking everywhere in the pool. She leaned against the edge of the pool, softly singing a song that Gris didn't understand. When there were still about a hundred steps away from the pool, Gris stopped and said respectfully, "You are back."
"Yeah, I'm back."
"Have you met the person you want to meet?"
"I see it, but it can be said that I haven't seen it." With a smile on her face, she didn't seem to be in a bad mood.
"Where are my generals?" she asked again.
"They've already been awakened, I guess..." Gris raised his head, and looked blankly at the narrow window outside the hall with his lost eyes, then smiled and said, "It seems that they're here."
She nodded: "Then go and meet them."
She stood up from the pool, and the water droplets rolled over her body and fell into the pool, which can be called the most beautiful sound in the world. The maid who had been waiting at the side quickly put on new clothes for her, pulled up her noble hairstyle again, and gently inserted a hair crown studded with crystal diamonds into her hair. So the queen of the castle glowed with dignity, and dragged her long skirt out of the hall.
The place to meet the general is in another hall.
This hall is not as gorgeous and elegant as the Hall of Time, but it fits the atmosphere of the old castle. Solemn and dim, the hall is illuminated by the three giant chandeliers hanging from the dome, each with hundreds of lampstands densely arranged in circles. Even so, the lights still couldn't illuminate the entire hall, and there were still many places lingering in shadows.
When the door tens of meters high in the hall was pushed open, a figure walked in first. This general was tall and burly, his whole body was wrapped in thick armor, with a devilish head carved on the chest of the armor, and green flames were continuously spewing out from the eyes and mouth of the head. The tall general dragged a pair of dark giant soldiers, the blades of which were shaped like axes and sickles. Lines full of power emerged on this ax and sickle. These lines shone with green light, resonating with the green fire in the portrait on the chest. The ax and sickle dragged a series of sparks on the ground, and the general who looked like a steel statue walked silently into the depths of the hall.
Then the second general who came in from the door was much thinner. He hid himself in a thick cloak, which was covered with chains adorned with innumerable hedron diamonds. As he walked, the chains clashed and jingled sweetly. The big and wide hat covered the general's face, and from the shadow under the hat, a faint blue light lit up from time to time, as if there was a blue flame hidden under the hat. The two arms protruding from under the cloak actually have dark blue transparent skin, through which one can see pale golden blood vessels, nerves and pitch-black bones. Just from these arms, one can tell that this general is not from Barr.
After the two generals in front quietly entered the hall, a high-pitched laughter sounded outside the door. There was no doubt that it was a woman's laugh. A thin, flamboyant, and then a charming face came in from the door first. She has a proud and beautiful appearance, and it can be seen that this general loves black and red very much. Otherwise, there would be no bright red eyeshadow, and jet-black lip gloss.
Then she walked into the hall, her red hair tied high and tied into a bright red ponytail that swayed behind her head like a burning flame. She was wearing a black and red leather armor, which outlined her hot curves. It's just that the leather armor protects too little, so more of it is the dark red skin exposed to the air. Four slender curved sickles were carried behind her back, and the sickles spread out, like a spider with teeth and claws.
Those who are familiar with her know that this is a difficult female spider. After all, the title of Spider Queen is considered one of the best among her many generals.
When the fourth general walked into the hall, the temperature of the entire hall dropped, and even the lights in the hall seemed to dim a lot. The general who walked in after the Spider Queen had a strange appearance with a falcon's head and a human body. He even had a pair of wings, but now the wings were tightly gathered behind his back, like a cloak. What's even weirder is that from head to toe, this general's whole body, including every feather in his wings, is made of light blue ice crystals. He is like a moving ice sculpture, leaving a light blue ice road where he walks, exuding a slight chill.
More generals then walked into the hall, but these generals after that obviously didn't dare to get close to the first four, keeping a clear distance from them. When the door of the hall was closed, she came out. When she appeared, the lights in the hall immediately dimmed, and all the generals fell to their knees before her.
She happily swept across the generals below, and said lightly: "I'm glad to see you again, my generals. Now that you are all here, the curtain of time can be opened again."
Hearing the "Curtain of Time" number, all the generals were shocked. Especially the Spider Queen, she even raised her head, and excitedly stretched out her red tongue to lick her dark lips: "Who is the target this time? My lord, are they those idiots from the fringes?"
"No, it's a human." She shook her head.
"Human?" The Spider Queen's expression seemed to be a bit disappointed: "You mean those creatures outside the distant star field? Soft bastards who are used as slaves. It's true that they are quite rare, but we are only summoned to deal with a mere human being. My lord, Is this a bit of a fuss?"
She smiled faintly: "If you knew that he could escape from my spiritual kingdom with his own will, dear Yami, I guess you wouldn't say that."
