Chapter 205 Moving forward
When Duanmuhuai returned to the vestibule, Roger also ended his meditation. He stood up and nodded to Duanmuhuai.
"Welcome back, Iron Warrior, it seems you have found what you were looking for?"
"I don't know if this is what I'm looking for...forget it, let's talk about it when we get back."
Duanmuhuai shook his head helplessly. After that, under the leadership of the soul jellyfish, Duanmuhuai came to a courtyard on the side of the limb joint hall, where corpses were also piled up. Then Duanmuhuai followed the guidance of the soul jellyfish from A strange little black ball was found in these corpses...
Who knows what this is.
But since the soul jellyfish wanted him to take it, Duanmu Huai took it too.
So the two set off again and walked towards the depths of the castle. Along the way, Roger was not idle, but talked about his research to Duanmu Huai very excitedly.
According to Roger, Duanmuhuai did know something.
That is, not long ago, there was a very glorious golden civilization here. Gods ruled the border areas, and their descendants called demigods guarded everywhere. However, one night, something strange happened.
That was Godwin, one of the demigod's children, who was killed.
And this caused a problem with the Golden Law.
Because according to the provisions of the Golden Law, gods and demigods cannot die. However, Godwin, as a demigod, was killed. In this way, the fact of Godwin's death is consistent with the "demigods cannot die" in the Golden Law. The conflict with the laws of "mortality" eventually led to the breaking of the entire golden law. The broken laws turned into large runes and fell into the hands of other demigod descendants.
And these demigod descendants also began to fight each other for this. They wanted to compete for all the big runes, and then repair the broken golden law and make themselves the rulers of the new junction.
"What I am researching is that night of conspiracy. According to the information I have investigated, someone stole the fragment of the death rune held by the 'Black Sword' Maliks, and then on that cold night, Killed the 'Golden' Godwin, because only the removed, sealed shadow of the Golden Law, the destined death - the Death Rune, can break through the constraints of the Golden Law and do things that are not allowed by the Golden Law. .”
"I see..."
Under Roger's narration, Duanmuhuai also had some understanding of the history here, but what he was most interested in was...
"So, where are the Death Runes?"
For Duanmu Huai, nothing is more worthy of his attention than the power of killing gods, because according to Roger, the destined death is the death power of hunting gods, and this is exactly what Duanmu Huai needs to be able to kill The power of the Death God... If this thing could be used against the Chaos Gods, that would be great.
"I don't know about that."
Roger shook his head.
"According to historical records, the Queen of Night Eyes and her clan once served the law of Destined Death, but later, their clan was defeated by the black sword Maliks, and the Destined Death was also sealed by Maliks. In fact, I don’t know who stole the destiny from Malikis or by what means. But I heard that the people who did it were the descendants of the Eternal City - a group of female assassins wearing invisible clothes and silver armor, and the weapons they used were black blades. Ritual infused with the power of the Death Rune.”
Having said this, Roger sighed.
"But it is a pity that after that murder night, they disappeared, and the black blade they used is also missing."
"………………"
That's no choice. Detecting murders is not Duanmuhuai's specialty.
He is better at creating murders.
"So..."
The two of them were walking and chatting, passing through the vestibule and continuing to move forward. However, at this moment, there was suddenly a loud noise, and then they saw a burning crossbow arrow rapidly shooting towards Duanmu Huai's head. Passed by!
"Be careful!!"
Seeing this scene, Roger immediately screamed, but it was too late. Just when Duanmuhuai turned his head and looked forward, the crossbow bolt had already hit his helmet, and then "boomed" There was an explosion, bursting out with dazzling fire, completely swallowing Duanmu Huai's head.
But the next moment, the intact rabbit helmet emerged from it again, and then Duanmuhuai raised his hand and aimed at the fort on the city wall in front. A grenade burst out from the ejection port of the gauntlet, drew an arc in the air, and then fell down.
"Boom!!!"
The explosion flames, which were even more terrifying than before, instantly engulfed the entire city wall. The roaring air waves blew the surrounding soldiers away like paper figures. When Roger came back to his senses, he saw that the city wall in front of him had been destroyed. A big hole was blown, and the soldiers had long since disappeared.
"Okay, let's go."
Duanmuhuai moved his helmet, then continued to stride forward, and Roger followed behind him, looking at the man in front of him in surprise.
Who is he?
Looking at the tall steel warrior in front of him, Roger was also surprised. At first, he only thought that the other person was a faded person or a foreigner, but now it seems that this man's identity is obviously not simple, and nothing else. It is said that this armor, which is invulnerable and cannot even be damaged by crossbow turrets, is not something that ordinary people can wear.
Not to mention…………
At this moment, Duanmu Huai has entered the atrium, and Roger is following behind. Looking at the human-shaped hurricane in front of him, almost no soldiers can be his enemy, even... br>
"Hooooooh!!!"
A huge monster, three to four meters tall, roared and waved the stick in its hand, and smashed it hard at Duanmuhuai. Of course Roger knows this monster. It is a mountain demon, raised by the army of the Golden Clan. It is a terrifying and powerful war machine. It is not only thick-skinned but also extremely powerful. As a vanguard, it is enough to defeat a large group of soldiers. .
However, even such a monster is no match for the terrifying Iron Warrior.
Duanmu Huai raised the war hammer, swung it out in a circular motion, and hit the mountain monster's leg directly. He immediately saw that the mountain monster's right leg was broken like a fragile firewood, and the mountain monster lost its balance. He also lay down on the ground wailing. Then he saw Duanmu Huai stretch out his left hand and clenched it into a fist, and punched the mountain monster's head hard. Then he saw his fist completely penetrate the mountain monster's head like a battering ram, and the mountain monster naturally did this... …completely dead.
"Bang!!"
The huge corpse of the mountain demon fell heavily to the ground, and then turned into dust and disappeared without a trace. At this moment, the entire atrium was silent. If the dead here had not turned into dust and disappeared after being killed, I am afraid that what I see here now, There were hundreds of corpses in miserable death conditions. "You are really powerful, Iron Warrior."
"It's okay, this level is nothing."
Duanmu Huai waved his war hammer, and then the two of them walked through the atrium and continued walking forward.
"We are about to arrive at Greg's location."
As they walked through the corridor, Rogier's expression became more solemn, and Duanmuhuai also nodded. However, just as they walked through the corridor and were about to arrive in front of Greg's throne square, they stopped.
The reason is simple, that is, there is another person standing in front of them.
To be precise, a woman.
Her dress was quite wild. Judging from the battle ax she carried on her back, this woman should be a warrior. At this moment, this woman turned her back to Duanmuhuai and Roger, looking down at a corpse at her feet - ——That should be a knight stationed in this castle.
"Be proud of yourself. You are indeed an excellent warrior, but you are with the wrong person... Disappear with the wind and drift to the distant peak."
After delivering a eulogy-like speech to the knight, the woman turned around and stared at Duanmuhuai and Roger.
"Ah...you guys, you don't look like Greg's accomplices."
"Technically, I was going to give him trouble."
Duanmuhuai clenched the war hammer in his hand and answered, while the woman raised her eyebrows and showed a smile.
"That's really interesting. My name is Neferi Lu, and like you, I'm also a warrior. I came here because of my adoptive father's order... But then again, this is really cruel, the abominable Greg, actually It is not the behavior of a king to do this. ”
After saying this, the woman stared at Duanmu Huai and looked him up and down.
"If you plan to challenge Greg, then I will go with you. His evil behavior has stained the wind. This is an unforgivable crime."
"Come if you want."
Duanmuhuai nodded without hesitation.
That guy is dead anyway.
After the female warrior joined them, the group continued to move forward. Although some soldiers tried to stop them along the way, they were all smashed into pieces by Duanmu Huai.
Soon, they arrived in front of the Throne Square.
"Opposite is where Greg is."
After saying this, Roger sighed and sat down on the chair next to him.
"I'm sorry, you two, I can't move forward with you anymore."
"What's wrong?"
Duanmuhuai looked at Roger curiously and asked, and the latter smiled bitterly.
"To tell you the truth, my body is actually cursed. Half of my body is actually dead. Therefore, I cannot move for too long."
As he spoke, Roger rolled up his trousers and saw that one of his legs was indeed like a rotting corpse, dry and without any sign of life.
Seeing this scene, the female warrior looked slightly solemn.
"The dead?"
"That's right...I'm sorry I kept hiding it from you, but I still have important things to do."
Roger smiled slightly at the two of them, and then looked at Duanmuhuai.
"Sorry, it seems I can only come here for the time being."
"Is it okay for you to be alone?"
"Fortunately, thanks to the two of you, most of the soldiers in this castle have been eliminated. I can barely cope with the rest. Next, I will continue to look for what I am looking for. Also, this Steel Warrior…………”
Having said this, Roger thought for a moment.
"If you want to investigate more information, I suggest you go to Rhea Lucalia Magic Academy located in the north of this city. I heard that from a long time ago, they followed a law that is completely opposite to the Golden Law. If you're looking for clues about death runes... you might be able to find some clues there."
As he spoke, Roger raised his head and looked above his head.
"It's really interesting. In the past, the Golden Law was very lenient and could even tolerate completely opposite laws. Now that the Golden Law is broken, twisted, and must be repaired... I think this is very important."
Roger sighed, then looked at the two men again.
"Then, I am here to wish you both a safe return."
