"Uh!" "Ah!"
The screams rang out in vain. After several natives of Esos were bitten by black snakes, their vitality seemed to be drained in an instant, and their originally strong body quickly became shriveled, falling down like an old man in the evening.
"Tell me the opening time of the night maze, I can't kill you." Justin's tone was quiet.
"The Esus people never fear death!" The high priest looked pale, but he looked determined.
A hint of coldness rose on Justin's face, then he raised an arm, and a black energy shot out from his cuff, rushing towards the elderly high priest with a creepy breath of evil.
Buzz!
At this moment, a force suddenly appeared in the remains under my feet, as if it came from ancient times, deep and vast. Although it was only a moment, it dispelled the evil aura.
Justin groaned and took a step back.
"As soon as you got the [Night Key], are you planning to turn against us?" Not far away, a slender girl with long black hair appeared slowly. Her face was calm and she said in a low voice: Justin, I think you should be very clear. The agreement between us is that you will get both the [Night Key] and the [Night Sword] so that we, Esus, will tell you all the information about the Night Maze!"
"But now, although you have obtained the [Night Key], the [Night Sword] has not been found yet. So as agreed, we have the right to retain information about the Night Maze!"
Justin's eyes flashed and he let out a breath.
"Your Madam Ye is right. The agreement between us is indeed to find [Night Key] and [Night Sword]." He had no expression on his face, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, saying, "However, according to the information I know, the so-called [Night Sword] you mentioned is not used to open the night maze at all, right?"
The night girl frowned slightly and her eyes flashed.
"If [Sword of Night] is not used to open the maze of night, then why does Ursus have to get it? I wonder if Youthare the Night Girl can answer it for me?" Justin asked with a sneer.
The night girl said in a deep voice, like a sculpture.
"Haha, since Your Excellency Ye Nu is unwilling to be honest, then the cooperation between us might as well end it." Suddenly, Justin narrowed his eyes, turned around and was about to leave.
"Ten days!" At this time, Ye Nu suddenly spoke.
Justin stopped, turned to ask, "What does it mean?"
"In ten days, I will tell you all the news about the night maze." The night girl raised her head, looked directly at Justin, and said in a low tone, "But during this period, I don't want any unpleasantness to happen between Falling Night City and Ursus!"
Justin's eyes flashed, and after pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "Yes, I promise you!"
"But... when the ten-day deadline comes, I will get all the information about the maze of the night, otherwise the Essos will be ready to bear the anger of a wizard."
After saying that, Justin turned around and left the ruins with his subordinates.
Seeing the fallen people disappear into the darkness, the high priest breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and hesitated and asked, ": In ten days... do we really want to tell the wizard the news of the night maze?"
"Just delay time."
The night girl shook her head and frowned and said, ": The Goddess of Night has few divine power left in this land. If you use one point, you will lose one point. Even if you use it, you will not be able to kill a formal wizard."
"After Justin got the [Key of Night], he began to doubt that if he didn't delay the time, he would probably force his attack!"
The high priest looked a little ugly and hesitated, "But... [Sword of Night] has not been found yet. Even if the night maze is opened, we cannot release the goddess..."
"Seven days later, the maze of night will be opened!"
Ye Nu raised her head and said firmly, ": During this period, spread the news as much as possible so that everyone can know when the night maze is opened, and the situation must be disrupted."
"I have a hunch that [Sword of Night] is probably in someone's hands!"
"Premonition? Have you received the guidance of the goddess?" The high priest's eyes lit up.
"It's just some broken pictures." Ye Nu shook her head and said, "I don't know if the premonition is accurate, but this is our only chance, so I have to try it."
"What are you going to do?" asked the high priest.
"Back to the surface and look for [Sword of Night]!" said the night girl.
"No! Absolutely no!" Hearing that Ye Nu was about to return to the surface, the high priest immediately shook his head and refused decisively, ": Lei Guang City has just experienced the collapse of the tower, and it must be very dangerous now. If you go back, you may be exposed."
"No need to persuade me, grandpa."
The night girl took a deep breath and said, ": The Esos tribe has been waiting for this opportunity for too long. As long as it can release the goddess of night and let the tribe members return to the sun again, anyone can sacrifice!"
"But..." the high priest looked entangled.
"Don't worry, grandpa." A smile appeared on the night girl's face and said, "I am a descendant of the goddess of night, and I won't die so easily."
After saying that, Ye Nu turned around and walked in one direction, where there was a passage to the surface.
"You must be careful! Lucia..." Looking at Ye Nu's back as she left, the high priest murmured to herself.
......
Lei Guang City, Central District.
The sky was slightly white, and a ray of sunlight shone on the earth. As dawn rose, the chaos caused by the collapse of the tower had begun to gradually recover. There were teams of knights maintaining order in every corner of the main urban area.
Above the ruins, there is a black tent.
The air was filled with a depressed breath, and the silence was almost suffocating. Ulysses sat on an iron chair with a gloomy face. His eyes were full of cold luster.
Under his feet, a stiff indigenous body of Esos lay on the ground.
"The Maze of the Night, the Key of the Night..." Ulysses whispered hoarsely, "So, is everything your plan? Justin, it seems that all of us underestimated you!"
"Uncle Ulysses, can I come in?" At this time, a sound came from outside the tent.
"Come in, Isaac." Ulysses said indifferently.
After obtaining permission, Isaac walked into the tent and saw that Ulysses was safe and sound. He breathed a sigh of relief. After stroking his chest and saluting, he said, "I feel relieved when I see you are fine."
"Is there anything you have?" Ulysses asked without raising his head.
