Act 450: The Sea of Rage, Storm Convergence XVII(1/3)
Duke Perrit looked at the messy camp with a gloomy face, and several tents fell to the ground, silently narrating the masterpiece of a lady. A huge explosion occurred from the center of the camp and left a deep pit several meters in diameter there.
The explosion attracted a few evil creatures from the thick fog. Those monsters that were as thick as shadows could not linger, with different shapes, one of which was as huge as slow crawling claws, broken nails, or a few hunting dog-like creatures, but their body parts were incomplete.
They were showing their white fangs and whimpered at Duke Perrit.
The knights were facing a great enemy and drew their swords to surround the Duke. However, Duke Perrit was unmoved and separated the crowd and walked forward, opened his mouth and made a strange tone.
It was like a prayer, in an obscure tone, the shadow creature slowly retreated and turned and disappeared into the darkness not far away.
"Sir, what is that?" the knights questioned him.
Duke Perrit replied, "It's just something sealed underneath."
The knights looked at each other, wondering whether the duke seemed to be able to communicate with these things or not? But everyone dared not ask more. Only then did the clerk come forward to report the losses - "The explosion did not cause casualties, sir, but the hostages escaped."
"The poet rescued his companion and used sonic resonance to detonate the gray crystals in the camp. Those were the backup fuses of the magic cannon, with tight protection. I don't know how she found the frequency of the resonance at once."
"Also... the woman escaped, she attacked the two knights guarding, and the only casualties were also caused on this, one dead and one injured. Then she took the other two away from the east. Do you want to chase after it, sir?"
The clerk closed the record book and looked to Duke Perritt.
Duke Perrit said nothing, and Isa asked on the side, "The supplies were burned. If the Naga clan appeared at this time, it might be more troublesome."
"Don't worry about them," Duke Perrit waved his hand, staring at the black mist in the distance, and said, "Everything is still going as planned. We still have a way. There is more than one seal in that barrier, and there is something under the spire. It may make us..."
Minmeer was slightly surprised, "Wait, that's..."
"This is the order of His Majesty," replied the Duke, "in some process we must make a decision, and some birds may cherish their feathers, but will you, Mr. Selected?"
He looked at Minmeer and then at Isa on the side.
Minmeer fell silent again. Isa looked at the Duke and shrugged.
He watched the two of them leave before turning back to his companion and said, "What do you think?"
The tall Indian turned around and stared at him with his gray-brown eyes and asked, "Who did you say?"
"Of course it's the Duke," Isa said, looking at Duke Perrit's back, "He said he was from Rust, but how do you think the lady said just now?"
Rudne shook his head: "He is indeed from rust. His family ruled the area around the age of Starfall, but the residents there may not be much thanks to him. The empire has never lacked harsh suppressors."
"When he made the decision to abandon everything there, he would only shed a drop of crocodile tears or two, and it was just a performance. It was after that that, some of them embarked on the road of resistance, and some of them later became opponents, enemies, and the most dangerous kind, such as the one who was just now-"
Isa was a little surprised: "You have even studied this history."
"You can't be fooled easily after studying history, Isa." Rudne replied silently.
"Well, but I can't," Isa shook his head and smiled lightly. "I can't see the dense texts anymore. It would be great to have you as my partner, but since that's the case, why are you here?"
"This is the task above."
Rudne replied simply.
Isa was stunned, then smiled softly, "That's true."
...
Adni used a slender dagger to cut the rope on the sky blue hand. The dagger was dark red as if it had been soaked in blood. The sharp blade was light and sharp, like a swimming fish, or a poisonous snake with fangs exposed and choosing people to eat.
Tianlan felt the bondage in his hand loose, but looked at the latter with some fear. She saw with her own eyes that Adni used this dagger to stab the two knights in the sword-holding courtyard. The other party broke free from the bondage of the two knights, turned around and took the initiative to knock them down with one knife.
It seemed like killing two chickens.
But that was not a real chicken. The sword-holding knight was born into the guardian of the Holy Sword. In the Battle of Giants, they were the sword-wrapped people for the Magic Emperor and the emperor's personal guards. Just like the Knight of the Giant Tree Hill, the status was even higher than that of the Silver Helmet Holy Guard.
To this day, the sword-holding knight is also a guard in the inner court. The selection is strict. Although many noble playboys are still mixed with, the team performing tasks outside is different. Their average level is at least above level 25.
This may not be anything to Fang Rong and others, but Adni is a caster without combat effectiveness.
What's more, when she was controlled by others, the shackles put on her hands seemed to be soft mud. The knight who escorted her seemed to be unable to tie a chicken. She easily broke away and then killed her.
Tianlan is not a fool, of course she understands what that means. The other party is very skilled, but pretends to be a professional life hiding on the Qihai Traveler. What is the purpose? She is silent because according to the general plot preview, will the other party kill and silence him next?
Adni looked at the poet's gaze that shook her head, "Everyone has his own secret. I'm just a temporary boarding ship, but not one of you. Can you tolerate that little girl from the Sacramental Guild, but can't tolerate me?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Tianlan stammered and asked: "...Ah, Sister Adni, you, don't you kill me?"
"Why did I kill you?"
"But...you...I..."
"Just because you saw this?" Adni threw the long and narrow dagger in her hand. "I am a hunter of the Shadow Society, but it is true that I have not deceived you in other aspects. Why did I come to this place when my father's relationship with the Pirate King? Of course, that's just one of my purposes-"
She seemed to have become a different person, her tone became sharp and confident, as if she had walked out of the hidden shadow, squinted her eyes, her eyes a little dangerous. Of course, this danger was not aimed at the poet lady in front of her, but those in the darkness.
"Shadow will?"
"Have you heard it?" Adni was a little surprised. "Just like its name, we are shadow hunters, and all creatures hidden in the shadow are our enemies." She flicked her finger, threw the dagger in her hand, and nailed it to a shadow.
The shadow creature let out a scream, then turned into mist and retreated into the black fog. Everything disappeared invisible, as if nothing had happened.
Tianlan shivered in fear and looked there with some fear, "What are those?"
It wasn't that she had seen these things. The explosion attracted these evil creatures from the mist in the abyss. They fled all the way here, and these things followed like shadows. Dalier was unconscious again, and she had no power to tie the chicken. It was not until Adni took action that they let the things retreat.
"I thought you knew the creatures in the shadows," Adnie walked towards her dagger and replied, "Didn't you have seen these things before you fight with them in Elpahin?"
"Elpaxin...Elpaxin, Sister Adni, are you talking about filmmakers? These things are related to them?" Tianlan was stunned for a moment before reacting.
"Not all," Adni shook his head, "Shadowmen come with the stars of disaster. They come from another world. In that world, there are not only shadowmen, but also dragons, giants and Nagas. That world was originally like ours, with flowers, plants, trees, birds and beasts."
"When the world falls, the beasts living in that world are also swallowed up by shadows, and become what you see now. We call them 'shadow creatures', but these are similar and not exactly consistent."
"Why?"
"Because they come from a dark dream, a sinful creature split from a huge consciousness, you can understand them as fragments of a sleeping divine consciousness in the dark, those fragments are shattered all over the ground, big and small, and small can be as thin as dust..."
Adni looked up at the dark world: "You are walking with that woman, I thought you should know all this. She may be the only one who recognizes me on the boat. Of course, your leader may know something because of this."
"...I, I still don't understand," Tianlan was a little confused. "Anyway, Sister Adni, you won't kill me, right?"
Adni sighed, "You call me sister, of course I won't kill you."
Tianlan breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's good... Sister Adni, what should we do next?"
Adni shook her head gently, and didn't think about it for a moment, "Actually, if I hadn't been threatened, I wouldn't have easily exposed my identity. However, the people of the Empire know me very well, so it doesn't matter."
She looked at Dalier in her sleep again, "As for saving you and her, it's just a matter of doing it, because I still agree with this agreement between us."
"Our purpose is still the same, that is, to enter the treasure house left by Rodrigo Deanris. I did not deceive your leader. My real purpose is not on the treasure house itself, and you can still get everything-"
She walked to the dagger, bent down, and pulled out the dagger.
But suddenly, she stood up, held the dagger in her hand, and pointed it in one direction:
"Who is there, come out!"
Adni's tone suddenly became cold, and Tianlan was shocked.
The poet thought that the casting lady had made something wrong, but suddenly, someone came out behind the fog there.
Tianlan was slightly stunned. The man was wearing the sailor's outfit and looked like an imperialist, a little old, but she couldn't recognize the other person - perhaps the sailor on the imperialist ship? But how could there be such an old sailor? She couldn't help thinking.
But Adni's eyes changed slightly, "Wait, are you..."
The old sailor touched the crisscrossing wrinkles on his face with his hands, and his elderly face couldn't help but relax, and sighed deeply, "I didn't expect that after so many years, you could still recognize me at a glance, Miss Adni."
"Senef Agat," Adnie said coldly, "the most loyal subordinate of the young Imperial Navy general in the past, but you did not go with him that day, and it had nothing to do with my father and that man. I will not cause trouble for you. What are you here for?
"They brought me here," Seneff sighed again—the old sentry shook his head gently, "I have been in Andreus for years, not far from here, watching this island with rain-woven curtains—where they had left in the past."
"So the Empire still found you, what do they want you to do, open the door here?" Adni asked, "but you are just a betrayer, and Rodrigo Deanris would not trust you, and you weren't even with him in the last moment, what can they expect you to know?"
"I don't know much," replied Seneff, "but I won't tell the Empire, I am an Empire myself, but I will never believe in that Empire again. I only know, Miss Adnie, you will definitely come back here one day."
He sighed, "I just didn't expect that we would meet in this way, and that we could meet in this way, and everything might be destined. The saints never gave up looking at the North, and they made it all with their invisible will."
The casting girl was slightly stunned and looked at the other party, "Senev, what do you mean?"
But the old man did not answer, but silently stroked his chest with his hands and bowed to the two of them, "Miss Adnie, I will take you to his real treasure house, Lord Deanris and your father, they have something to leave for you."
He then turned around and said to both of them:
"Please follow me, two"
...
There was silent loneliness in the darkness, and the sound of fine footsteps was moving along the open underground space. The pale light in the crystal gradually outlined this world composed of limestone, stalactite columns and tall mushrooms.
Fang Zhu looked at the underground world as if he was staring at the inside of a monster's huge mouth. Flat rocks formed its palate top, sharp rock pillars formed swarming fangs, and a limestone pillar hung down deep, like an upside-down urach.
The crystal light disappeared behind it, and in the darkness it was like a path leading to the depths of the throat.
Miya walked at the front of the team with crystals. The soft light of the crystal gradually reflected a pair of silver pointed beast ears, standing between the long silver-gray hair. It folded around from time to time, looking soft, and was covered with fine fluff.
The crystal was rather than being held in her hand, floating in the air. The wolf girl lifted it up with one hand, causing the crystal to shine in all directions, and the pale light drew out shadows. She was walking on flat ground in the complex erosion rock layer, looking back at others from time to time.
Silweid was in the arms of a dragon hunter, and the tall structure picked her up horizontally, as if he was holding up a delicate and powerless princess. Fang Zhu was rushing to the road while distracting from controlling his own structure. The dragon hunter was also his modified version.
After the barrier expired, he could no longer control the dragon hunter below.
After listening to Fang Ling telling the previous story quietly, Miya replied: "It's too risky. Minmeer may not be really controlled by you. You are too underestimating those who have passed through the sea of stars. If he really wants to attack you, you may not have room for fight back."
Fang Yu then withdrew his gaze and nodded: "Actually, I expected some, but as Prometheus' Silver Level, how could he not be interested in the mingling of the Sword-holding Court with the S.O.LI.D people? Besides, his excuse was too clumsy. Perhaps he thought it out temporarily. The obelisk was on the upper floor of the ruins, but he came down with us without even looking at it. So I guess he also wanted to figure out what the imperial people were planning."
