Chapter 1340 Looking North

In the ruins, the weather has always been polar night, and there is not much difference between day and night. But the situation is quite different outside the ruins. Now Agares has not entered the polar day season, so the sun is shining brightly during the day and the moon is thin at night.

It was a good night.

Even the Baal people, a race full of aggression and warlike factors in their bones, will enjoy the tranquility brought by the night at night. Especially in such an inland city far from the borderline, under the confusing colorful lights, the long streets and alleys are filled with a somewhat rare peaceful atmosphere.

It was in this kind of night that there were people who came near the city gate.

Two bright but icy beams of light from the city immediately intersected and projected on this person. This person walked alone, his whole body was wrapped in a thick windproof cloak, even his head was tightly wrapped, and his face could not be seen clearly. The guards in the city wanted to take down this suspicious guy without asking why, but he stretched out a hand from under the cloak and threw a thick iron plate to the ground. When the light fell on the iron plate, there was a sound of breathing in the city, and then someone shouted: "Open the door." Then, amidst the noise of the hydraulic machine, the thick armored gate shrank to both sides Shin separated, fully revealing the city gate.

The man stretched out his hand to catch it, the iron plate returned to his hand, he wrapped his cloak tightly and walked into the city.

When he disappeared into the streets and alleys of the city, a guy who was obviously a recruit asked his colleagues, "What brand is that?"

"That's the military badge of the Crazy Shadow Army." The companion rolled his eyes and said, "You don't even know? Now the Emperor Legion still uses this kind of steel military badge, and they all use electronic seals. They still use copper badges." The only ones who cast military badges are the Crazy Shadow Army, and the one who can show the military badge must be at least a battalion commander in the Crazy Shadow Army. If a battalion commander of the Crazy Shadow Army is thrown to other legions, it is the deputy regiment or even It is the position of the head of the regiment, so you understand."

"That's a big man we can't afford to offend. Besides, the Crazy Shadow Army is all lunatics. Even if he is just a Crazy Shadow Army soldier, we have to let him go if he can, so as not to cause trouble."

The recruit looked stunned, then patted his head and said, "The Crazy Shadow Army is so powerful, I should have signed up if I knew it earlier."

The companion glanced at him like an idiot: "Do you think that the Crazy Shadow Army can enter if they want to? Not to mention Yuanli, you are not qualified just because of military merit."

"So harsh?"

"Nonsense, otherwise, how could he be the ace teacher of our Shadow Empire?"

At this moment, the recruit looked towards the direction where the mysterious man disappeared, with envy written in his eyes. The mysterious man who was envied by the recruits walked through the streets and alleys after entering the city, and finally stopped in front of a bar where the sound of music was still coming out.

Then he got into the bar and found a remote and quiet corner to sit down.

A charming Baal woman came over, blinked her eyes and said, "What would you like to drink? Or, do you want to have some fun?"

The man silently slapped a piece of green crystal on the table, and a deep voice sounded from the shadow of the hat: "Give me the best wine here, and then I will reserve the three tables around here."

The woman's eyes light up.

A piece of green crystal, and a green crystal of good quality, not to mention booking these three or four tables, even booking the venue tonight is more than enough. She quickly picked up the green crystal, fearing that this person would repent, she walked over with a smile and said, "Apart from wine, why don't you have something else?"

The provocative meaning is beyond words.

But coldly spit out a word from the hat: "Get lost."

The woman wanted to have a fit, and finally patted her ass and left for the sake of the green crystal. A moment later, a bottle of wine and an empty glass were reluctantly brought.

After the woman left, he silently opened a bottle and drank alone. When drinking alone, it is especially easy to recall the past. He didn't intend to come in for a drink, but the song playing on the jukebox in the bar brought back his memories, and then it was fermented by alcohol. Some past events that he thought he had forgotten are still vivid in his mind, and he seems to have returned to that long time ago. When he was a child, there was this yellow light, and a woman would hum this song softly by his side.

At that time, it was undoubtedly happy and happy. Even though now he has too many things that he could not imagine in his childhood, he no longer has that kind of satisfaction and joy. The mind is like a huge black hole, no matter how much it fills in, it still cannot be satisfied.

He took a sip of the wine, which tasted bitter, not like any good wine. But he didn't care about it, and let himself continue to immerse himself in memories. So in that corner of him, a kind of faint sadness gradually permeated.

Whether it was the light or the alcohol, his vision became blurred. In that hazy scene, he seemed to see that woman walking towards him, and she opened her arms, as if to welcome his return. His heart trembled slightly, perhaps after so many years, what he wanted most was actually to return to that place.

but

The wine glass suddenly shattered in his hand, and his hand was shaking.

"I can't go back, I can't go back to anything." His whisper sounded from the hat: "I can't go back to anything."

At this time, a man roared in the bar: "There are still tables there, why don't you let us go there!"

It was the woman who served him the wine just now who stopped the man. She said helplessly, "Those three tables have already been booked. Go elsewhere."

The man who was clearly drunk pushed the woman away, walked over unsteadily, slapped the table with his palm and said, "How many cockles does he offer and three times the price!"

The woman said blankly: "He gave me a green crystal."

The expression of this drunk Baer man changed, and he stammered: "A green crystal? Don't be kidding, this", suddenly the corner of his eye flashed with green light, and a green crystal slipped to his palm, the mysterious man who was drunk said in a deep voice Said: "This is for you, get out of here."

The face of the Barr changed suddenly, and he slapped the green crystal away with one hand and shouted: "Do you think it's great to be rich? Do you know who I am? You pretending to be a ghost." Then he reached out and tore off the man's hat, and under the light, a head Silver-white long hair flowed down like moonlight. Under the silver hair, there is a young and handsome face, and red eyes that make people panic. What's more, this person is obviously not from the Baal tribe.

The bar suddenly became silent, only the music from the jukebox was still playing. The instigator was stunned for a moment before saying: "Human? Why are there human beings here, these lowly slaves?" At the end of his sentence, his body suddenly aged rapidly, and he turned into a mummy after a while.

The man who was still sitting slowly put on his hat again, and said softly: "Too many people is really not a good thing, there is not even a place to drink quietly."

I don't know who was the first to notice that there was a puff of black smoke quietly permeating under the dead man's body. It quickly spread like a shadow, then climbed onto a person's body, and then desperately drilled into their pores. So there were screams in this bar, but the screams disappeared quickly. After a while, the man came out with his hat on and disappeared into the alley next to him.

A few minutes later, a group of soldiers arrived. When they entered the bar, they saw not only mummies all over the floor, but also pieces of green crystal neatly piled up on the table. Soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, some are confused about what this means. It wasn't until their commander said a word in a deep voice that the soldiers suddenly realized.

"That's life money."

It's also night.

The castle in the ruins seemed much quieter. Allen was sitting in the bath, closing his eyes and feeling the moving feeling of warm water flowing past him. He knew very well that he was doomed to have no sleep tonight. The information Alice revealed to him is really amazing, the creator, the artificial life, the origin of the Baal people, and Spanak. He needed time to digest this information. In the restaurant just now, after briefly mentioning Spinak, Alice ended the dinner on the grounds that she was tired.

In fact, how could a person like her be tired? Allen knew that she was just sad. It seems that Alice also needs time to sort out her emotions before she can tell him everything. He is not in a hurry, besides, it is useless to be anxious.

There was a soft sound of entering the water in his ears, he opened his eyes, and saw Laura getting in and snuggling up to his side.

Laura leaned on his chest and asked, "What are you thinking?"

"A lot of things?"

"Let me guess, about Alice?"

Allen laughed and said: "Can this be called guessing? As long as you are not stupid, you can think of it."

Laura feigned anger and said, "You're thinking of a woman!"

He reached out and patted Laura's buttocks: "Don't make trouble, I'm thinking about something serious. Speaking out scared you to death, Alice turned out to be Spinnaker's mother."

"Who?" Laura stood up suddenly, exposing her graceful curves to the air: "The devil king? The Supreme of the Shadow Empire?"

"Sit down." Allen beckoned.

Laura "hummed" and said, "Doesn't I look good like this?" She said so, but she still sat down. But he sat on Allen's legs, and then twisted his body slightly maliciously. Allen snorted, "I asked you to sit down, but not on my lap."

"You do not want it?"

"Fart!" Allen laughed: "Which man would say that he doesn't want to, it must be physically abnormal."

"And I'm pretty normal."

As a result, the temperature in the bathroom rose quickly. First, there was Lola's giggles, which gradually turned into moans. Finally, Lola was so tired that she lay her pillow on the edge of the bathtub, announcing the end of the battle. When Allen hugged her and put her on the bed, she had already fallen asleep. After covering her with the quilt, Allen suddenly felt moved and walked to the window. Looking out of the window, this angle allowed him to see Alice sitting on the ground on the tallest spire of the castle.

facing north.
