Chapter 149 The Lord of Suffering Comes to the Door
"What's going on? My knight has lost contact?!"
In front of the obelisk, Sebastian, who was waiting for the stone slab to be unsealed, was horrified and lost his voice. Not only the carefully cultivated knights, but also the summoned skeleton soldiers all lost their senses.
Suffered a devastating blow and the entire army was wiped out?
Impossible!
Destroying three skeleton knights at once, the magic power fluctuations are so strong that it is impossible for there to be no movement at all.
Sebastian hurriedly switched his perspective and looked through the white skull.
Skeleton soldiers don't matter, leeks can't be cut all the way, and the Skeleton Knight is his hard work, so he can't just die in a daze.
High in the sky, the white skull slowly lowered its head, and the scene of a skeleton parade came into Sebastian's eyes.
The three skeleton knights were leading the way. The skeleton soldiers walked in unison, lined up in a neat square formation, and walked slowly and leisurely towards the obelisk.
The knight in the center was riding an undead war horse, wearing black armor, and his torn gray cloak was not moving in the wind. As if sensing his gaze, he slowly raised his head and looked over.
"Death Knight!"
Sebastian was even more surprised.
If it was the Death Knight, he indeed had the ability to deprive the Skeleton Army of control. He was surprised as to why the Death Knight was in Silent Hill, why in the ruins, and why bother ordering him to find the stone slab?
This is unreasonable!
“Did something unexpected happen?”
Sebastian was greatly puzzled and hurried towards the formation.
…
"Great Death Knight, Sebastian sends his regards."
Sebastian came to the front of the queue and put one hand on his chest to show respect. He did not feel resentful because the Skeleton Army was taken away.
"Sebastian, has the seal on the stone slab been released?"
Wayne made a faint sound, looking towards the direction of the obelisk. The rich elemental fluctuations made him salivate. If he hadn't lost his salivary glands after the transformation, his saliva would have flowed down.
"I'm telling you, Lord Knight, my subordinates have just finished setting up, so we have to wait a little longer."
"Well, you did a good job and saved me a lot of time." Wayne sighed meaningfully.
"Sebastian doesn't dare to take credit. It was all your leadership. It was you who pointed out the location of the stone slab and you who provided the elemental ring. I was just performing the task."
"Well said, I see your loyalty to the goddess. After the matter is completed, I will personally recommend it to the goddess. There will be a place for you in the Kingdom of God." Wayne said happily.
"Thank you for your generosity, this is what I should be doing."
Sebastian was deeply moved and moved to tears. He raised his sleeves to wipe his tears and took the opportunity to glance at the death knight.
The conversation feels very strange. It seems that today's knights are a little different from before.
There is no difference in appearance. The undead war horse and the artifact Shadow Nightmare are all fine. The only thing is the tone and voice of speaking...
Death Knight changed his voice again?
Sebastian has seen the Death Knight twice in the Catacombs of Paris. The first time, the Death Knight appeared in full costume. His majesty left a deep impression on him. He was inspired and plagiarized. The other party's appearance.
The second time, the Death Knight summoned Sebastian and ordered him to search for the stone slab. He did not see the Death Knight's true face, and when he issued the task, there was a thick barrier in between.
The sound was different both times!
The first time it was sonorous and powerful, with a powerful force that was irresistible, the second time was dull and hoarse, so cold that it made people feel frightened.
It changed again the third time. Although he was still aloof, he was obviously much more approachable.
It has a lightness and a bit more humanity.
Sebastian likes the current Death Knight. He was unattainable the first two times. He was as trembling as a minion, even if he flattered him, he was afraid of slapping the horse's hooves.
He led the way to welcome the Death Knight, and a group of busy miners also came to salute.
"Sebastian, don't waste time, quickly unlock the seal of the obelisk." Wayne ignored the group of licking dogs and looked intently at the obelisk. The energy slots on the four sides shone with different lights, and the four elements were continuously injected into it.
The more I watch it, the more sci-fi it becomes, and I always feel that once the energy is accumulated, it will blast the moonlight down with one shot.
"My subordinate understands."
Sebastian shouted loudly and asked the people below to speed up their actions and set up a few more magic circles to use all four elements in the ruins.
Sebastian stood on the side of the undead horse, looking at the two skeletons among the skeleton soldiers, and frowned fiercely.
"Sir Knight, Oscar and Mana are elites trained by the church for many years. They have also been favored by the agent. I don't know why they have offended you?"
"I said I was a death knight, but they didn't believe me, so I proved it to them."
"..."
Sebastian's mouth twitched. With such a big undead sword, even a blind man could see that there was nothing to prove.
He did not dare to say that the Death Knight killed Zhongliang indiscriminately, and speculated that Oscar and Mana were seeking their own death and said things they shouldn't have said.
"Lord Knight, there are two little mice to the west, one of them is a natural cultist..."
"I am that cultist!"
"???"
"According to the oracle of the goddess, the holy war is about to begin, and the stone tablets are also prepared for this. I came to Windsor to destroy the Natural Church from the inside." Wayne was full of lies, trying to get more information from Sebastian. .
He was very curious about the current situation of the real death knight. According to the Thousand-Eyed Demon, he had been controlled by the Demon King of Hell and was working for others with the salary of the goddess.
On Dragon Heart Island, Wayne failed to summon the Shadow Nightmare. The Death Knight interfered and showed the ability to take back the Shadow Nightmare at any time.
But the death knight did not do this. He was strict with himself, treated others with ease, and allowed Wayne to play with his sword and ride his horse.
With such a great mind, even the Bull Knight Wayne would believe him.
There is obviously something wrong!
Sebastian was surprised by the Death Knight's operation. He felt it was a bit redundant, and suddenly realized on his face: "No wonder you bypassed your subordinates and established a new stronghold in Lundan, but in that case, why didn't you summon him to Lundan?" Me, but asked me to go all the way to Paris..."
"Where do you get so many problems?"
Wayne interrupted directly, saying that the leader has the final right of interpretation. He changed the order from day to day to adapt to changes, and the moody call was to use both kindness and power. The subordinates just obeyed the order and it was done. There was so much curiosity.
Sebastian decisively stopped talking. Seeing how obedient he was, Wayne simply let go and asked directly: "While the seal on the slate has not yet been unlocked, I am here to test you. When I assigned the task, I told you What?"
He looked down at Sebastian, and the two white lights in his eyes suddenly shrank: "You like knights so much, and if you dare to miss a word, I will turn you into a skeleton knight."
Sebastian's head clacked, secretly thinking that something bad was going on. The leader discovered that he copied the leader's style.
He hurriedly said: "I have been active in Windsor these years. According to the church's strategic deployment, I stayed away from Lundam and was not allowed to get close. Until Guy conveyed your order, I..."
The goddess of death has a general reputation in the Chosen Continent. Except for a few countries, the Church of Death cannot operate openly and openly, and Windsor is no exception. There is a belief in death, but they all operate in secret.
Sebastian is a golden mage who also serves as a bishop and is the top person in charge of the Church of Death in Windsor. According to the church's orders, he cannot leave Windsor without reason, nor can he enter the capital, Lundam.
At the same time, another order was issued to collect intelligence on Lundan and grasp the movements of the phalanx as soon as possible.
The two orders are not contradictory. Sebastian cannot enter Lundam, which does not mean that he cannot place spies in the system. Eclipse Town is very close to Lundam, and the mayor of Wales is a pawn in the plan.
Through the mayor's bribery, he expanded his circle of upper-level connections, and then used the bribery account as a threat to ask for Lundan's information.
There are many chess pieces like Wales. Basically, people are not in Lundam, and their eyes and ears are all over Lundam.
The Death Knight summoned Sebastian in Paris and made him disobey two orders in succession: not to leave Windsor and not to approach Lundam.
Guy is the top person in charge of the Death Church in Farak. Because of the existence of the underground tomb, the strong ones are blocked by the Death Knight. His little life is very nourishing, and his power is developing vigorously.
Guy conveyed the death knight's summons, and Sebastian entered Paris illegally and obtained the mission of the ring and slate. "You told me that the stone slab sealed in the obelisk is related to a buried history. There was a fallen god..."
"God of Storm and Thunder!"
"His name has been erased and does not exist in any known history..."
"His divine power resides in the stone slab, scattered in every corner of the God's Chosen Continent. On the day of reunion, the divine power of storm and thunder will surely be used by the goddess."
"The moment the stone slab appears, other slate holders can see this place, and you also gave the book of seals..."
Sebastian paraphrased the exact words, not to mention any words, not even a single punctuation mark was missed. At the end, he said respectfully: "Unlocking the seal requires a massive force of the four elements. You gave me four rings, my subordinate." I don’t dare to take it as my own, so I’m going to give it back together with the stone tablet.”
Erased history...
God of storm and thunder!
It has a great name, it is both storm and thunder, which sounds quite powerful at first glance, and the Book of Greed is a good meal again.
There was also the initial battle of faith, and I am afraid more than one god fell.
Wayne was fascinated by what he heard and became greedy for a moment. He nodded and said, "Sebastian, it's just because it's so important that I go there in person. There is no need to send it to Paris. I will take the stone tablet and the ring with me." ”
"As it should be."
Sebastian lowered his head, feeling somewhat depressed. After a busy trip, he didn't catch anything, and he also lost two generals.
As for the Skeleton Army, will the Death Knight directly bring it back to the underground catacombs?
Sebastian could completely imagine how crazy his enemy Guy would laugh when he learned about this.
One letter every day, nothing written, just hahaha!
Wayne asked a few more questions and asked Sebastian to answer them one by one in the name of assessment. In the latter's view, these questions were without nutrition and the answers were all taken for granted.
Although today's Death Knight was very strange, Sebastian did not doubt that the other party was a fake. As he said, faith makes people firm, and religion makes people ignorant. Once you believe it deeply, you will definitely fall into it.
While the two were talking, the younger brothers arranged several more magic circles, busying themselves just to satisfy the leader.
Under the joint charge of the four elements of the ring and the ruins, the energy tank impacted to the top of the obelisk. At the sharp corner, a dazzling arc of electricity burst out, sweeping high into the sky and opening a curtain of thunder.
A pale light illuminated the entire Giant City ruins. The white skull cast by Sebastian was affected by lightning and turned into a wisp of smoke.
Sebastian had no time to be surprised and looked straight at the greatly changed obelisk.
Lightning poured down along the energy tank, peeling off a large number of masonry fragments along the way. The strong impact made the ground rumble, and the falling boulders caused heavy casualties to the miners.
When the white light dissipated, a crack was opened above the ruins. From time to time, a huge boulder fell, and the dim moonlight shone into the ruins of the Giant City through the crack.
The obelisk peels off the huge stone on its surface, reflecting the moonlight to reveal its true appearance.
The obelisk, about a hundred meters high, has tall pillars and is made entirely of gold. It is engraved with a giant figure holding a thunderstorm in his hand. It reflects the moonlight and shines brightly, like a sharp sword piercing the sky.
On Wayne's skull head, two balls of white light were beating violently. With his good eyesight, he could see very clearly. As the obelisk peeled off its outer shell, the size of the obelisk kept shrinking, from being unmeasurable at first to the current height of a hundred meters.
Still shrinking!
During the shrinking process, accompanied by the friction sound of the mechanism being reorganized, the obelisk finally shrunk to fifty meters before stopping. For giants, this size is just right, but for ordinary people, it is still tall and majestic.
The miners who were lucky enough to survive, including Sebastian, held their breaths, their eyes filled with greed for gold.
In the death knight mode, Wayne's mind was clear. He quickly recovered from the shock and snorted coldly: "Sebastian, seal the obelisk immediately. I told you that once the seal is unlocked, the stone slab will be destroyed." Be noticed by others.”
Sebastian shuddered and rushed to the obelisk. He looked up at the complex words he had never seen before. He waved the civilized stick and opened the black curtain. Two skeleton soldiers walked out carrying a black cover book. .
The black book is fifty centimeters long, thirty centimeters wide, and more than fifteen centimeters thick. It is more like a file box.
The sealed book!
The back of the black cover shows the spine and two rows of ribs. The cover shows a pair of crossed white skeletal arms, quite in the style of the Church of Death, but the skull embedded in the center of the cover is full of hellish style.
A pale human face, a black horny mask covering the bridge of his nose, and two rows of symmetrical red squinting eyes.
The skeleton soldier gently placed the sealed book on the ground, making a heavy landing sound. Sebastian opened the sealed book, and a dark tide surged inside. There was not a single page, which once again proved that it was a file box.
The Book of Sealing has already set a trigger mode. After it is turned on, black chains emerge from the tide, thicken and grow in mid-air, and wrap around the obelisk stone slab to tie it tightly.
Immediately afterwards, a pair of pale arms stretched out from the sealed book. The white arms were slender, and the ten slender black nails also became thicker and larger. They clamped the obelisk on the left and right, and forcibly lifted it into the air.
Under the combined action of the chains and ghost hands, the obelisk slowly shrank until it could just fit into the sealed book.
The process went smoothly and Sebastian was obviously prepared.
To be precise, the evil god of hell who controls the death knight behind the scenes has prepared everything and is waiting for the death knight to send the sealed book.
Sebastian took back the ring, closed the sealed book, and could not help but breathe a sigh of relief as he completed the task perfectly.
At this moment, the earth rumbled and trembled, and the earthquake generally continued.
The ruins lost the obelisk, or in other words, lost the core pillar of the balanced whole. The space where it was located and the elemental mountain completed the overlap in the physical sense. Under the reset, the ruins and the mountain collided violently.
perish together!
Seeing that the Mountain of Elements was about to collapse, Sebastian hurriedly came to Wayne with the Book of Sealing and the ring: "Great Death Knight, please allow my subordinates to leave first. They still have to serve the goddess and should not be buried in this place. here."
"It doesn't matter, I'll send them away directly."
Wayne took the ring and pulled out the Shadow Nightmare. Under Sebastian's surprised gaze, the surging air of death dispersed, flesh and blood rotted, and the living were transformed into skeleton soldiers.
What kind of punishment is this? Killing people and silencing them?
"Lord Knight, what are you..."
Sebastian was dumbfounded, horrified, confused, and frightened. Abba Abba didn't know what to say.
Uh-huh!
The white light flashed.
No, it’s dangerous!
Sebastian pulled away and looked at the death knight wielding the butcher knife against him in horror.
Fortunately he dodge quickly, otherwise...
Why is it so cold?
The death knight in Sebastian's eyes slowly separated from the waist, and the upper half of the body tilted and slid down. A line of blood spread out and slid down together with the head of the undead war horse.
It was impossible for the Shadow Nightmare to betray its master. The only one who died was Sebastian. Half of his head was cut off diagonally, and he saw the above scene with split vision.
Wayne wielded the Shadow Nightmare, and the snow-white blade was not stained with blood. He pointed to the ground with the blade, and Sebastian transformed into a skeleton soldier and stood up holding the civilized stick.
A golden mage disappeared in such a mysterious way.
Wayne jumped off the undead horse and held the sealed book under his arm. In the background were the collapsing boulders. He was calm and elegant.
"Yulia, open the portal."
Just when Yulia opened the portal, a sudden change occurred, the book of seals touched the body of the death knight, and a wisp of thought struck.
This thought was so vast that it knocked Wayne out of the death knight state.
Gray mist shrouded, and a desolate figure appeared in the sky.
Wearing black armor and a broken cloak, the headless death knight roared: "Yulia, Shadow Nightmare, what are you doing?"
Wayne: "..."
No, the master of suffering is here!
