Chapter 214 Gray's Trial, Silver Dragon Queen, Lilith's Arrival
The Trial of the Silver Sword, the second level.
"Where did you bring me?"
Gray looked around in surprise, but did not find the red devil for a while.
I am in an extremely luxurious theater box: the lounge chair is covered with red velvet, the green grapes in the glass basin are filled with cold air, the marble columns have exquisite carvings, and the golden curtains cover them windowsill.
Gray stood up and looked at a floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror. Through the mirror, Gray saw that even her clothes had changed.
The original leather armor was transformed into a purple and gold robe decorated with gold embroidery, and lined with pale gold silk to wrap the chest.
The single ponytail is untied, the slightly curly brown hair is scattered on the shoulders, and on the head is a ring-shaped crown inlaid with various colored gems.
Gray couldn't even recognize herself, but she thought the shining crown on her head looked very nice.
This should be...a crown?
Gray took off the heavy crown, played with it in her hand, and threw it on the bench.
Hmph, it must be a trick of the devil!
However, this ancient empire costume was quite novel to Gray. She turned around in front of the mirror, and her floor-length robe revealed layers of light and elegant folds.
On the wall painted with gold powder, there was a portrait nailed. The woman in the painting was extremely noble. Gray's eyes were attracted by it and she stopped in front of the portrait.
It was a queen wearing a crown. She was wearing a noble purple and gold robe, reclining on a chair, with a graceful and luxurious demeanor. She looked down at the gladiatorial performance in a colosseum, and her face exuded a kind of feeling. Strange charm.
Gray couldn't help but hold her breath, her eyes showing deep surprise.
She was very sure that she had never seen the queen.
But the queen in the portrait looks very much like herself!
Although the appearance is similar, Gray can see that there are obvious differences between her and herself. Although other people will also be surprised by the similarity between the two, but after a little differentiation, they can still The two can be easily distinguished.
Gray couldn't help but froze in place, looked at the portrait carefully, and thought to herself:
"This must be another trick of the devil!"
However, another possibility came to Gray's mind.
She raised her head hesitantly, thinking that the elders had never mentioned her life experience to her, and couldn't help but look deeply at the woman in the portrait.
"Are there really two people in the world who look very similar but have no connection with each other?"
Gray frowned tightly, and her mood became a little depressed for a while.
She actually wants to know where she comes from, which is related to the family she was born into.
However, the elders only said that Gray had his own mission.
But he never refused to mention the past before taking her to the [Dragon Land].
"Huh..."
Gray patted her cheek, her eyes twinkling.
"Now is not the time to think about this! Yeats is still waiting for me to save him!"
"Devil, come out quickly!" Gray shouted, "I have seen through your trick, this time You want me to play the role of the queen, right?”
At this time, earth-shattering cheers came from outside the window sill.
The momentum seemed to shake the entire box, which made Gray curious about the scene behind the curtain.
“Reply to Your Majesty the Queen, I am here——”
The red devil appeared from behind the marble column with a calm smile on his face.
He was wearing a white wool robe, covered with a red cloak of a senatorial noble, his hands were crossed elegantly in front of him, and he was wearing a gold bracelet and a striking emerald ring. His attire was quite reminiscent of the ancient empire. .
"You are a bit wrong, Her Majesty the Queen, you are not playing the role of the Queen——"
The red devil's eyes were as deep as an ancient well, reflecting the dragon-born girl, with a smile on his lips.
"You... are the queen, and you are the destined emperor."
Gray was stunned, and then scolded: "What new tricks are you doing?"
"Then, let me introduce today's performance to you, Your Majesty Queen Irina . ”
The red devil slowly walked towards the front of the golden curtain.
“Irina?”
Gray was stunned and said loudly:
"Wait a minute, that's the woman in the portrait you're talking about!"
The Red Devil didn't answer. He held a corner of the curtain with both hands, glanced back at Gray, and gave a mysterious smile:< br>
“This will be the most spectacular gladiatorial performance, please be sure to watch carefully!”
Wow!
The red devil suddenly opened the curtain.
The dazzling sunlight enters the box of the Grand Theater.
Beside the window sill, Gray's cheeks were illuminated by the sun, and her face showed deep shock!
The cheers of mountains and tsunamis came from all directions.
What came into view was an overwhelming audience. They were crowded in the auditorium rising up the hillside. It was so crowded that it was roughly estimated that there were more than 100,000 people!
The red devil crossed his fingers, stood behind Gray, who was in a state of confusion with his hands on the window sill, and said with a smile:
"The poet has a saying, greatness belongs to the empire."
"This Ares Colosseum is made of hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of boulders, and the walls are hundreds of meters high!"
" Even the giants can fight in this Colosseum, offering hymns of iron and blood to you and your great empire!"
"You are now the emperor with the best perspective in the Colosseum! The pavilion, surrounded by walls, has four floors from low to high. Slaves, women, gladiators, free people, and nobles each occupy seats on one floor. This position of king only belongs to your majesty!"
Gray looked down at the tens of thousands of spectators.
They are either generals in shining armor, senators in red robes, free people in linen robes, or slaves in ragged clothes...
Everything is under the eyes of the big shots at the top. , stepping on it, you feel as if you are above all living things.
The voice was like substance, setting off her body's continuous rise, making her dazed, shocked, and dizzy.
"Look there, that's the giant statue of the arsonist."
A towering giant statue, towering into the sky, just leaning against the Colosseum.
The statue shows the face of a tyrant from history, overlooking the majestic Colosseum.
“As long as you give an order, I can knock down this giant statue and erect a brand new statue based on you!” said the red devil.
Gray took a deep breath, restrained the impulse that surged in her heart, and said: "Hurry up and start performing!"
The Red Devil did not bother, bowed and said: "As you command, Your Majesty the Queen. ”
He clapped his hands.
Under Gray's surprised gaze, eight huge gates opened around the central square of the Colosseum.
Boom!
Water jets gush out from the gate and hit the four walls of the arena, causing the audience to scream.
The water level gradually rose, and the sluice continued to release water. Finally, the scene of the ocean was artificially created!
“Wearing a golden mask, a bare-chested gladiator fights with monsters.”
"If he survives by chance, the audience's thumbs up means to spare his life, and thumbs down means to let him die..." The Red Devil said lightly, "Such a gladiatorial battle is really inefficient."
< br>"So, Her Majesty the Queen——"
"I want to present to you an unprecedented naval battle performance!"
The red devil looked excited and clapped his hands.
Hu——
Behind the huge iron gate, warships with full sails emerged. The warship extended a long ramming angle, and the painted hull shone in the sun. Standing on the deck were fully armed gladiators, each with a tall body, wearing a mask, with a murderous intent.
“Kill them!!”
“Tear them to pieces!”
“I bet that half the ship will be burned!”
The audience shouted wildly.
"For the Empire——"
The gladiators responded to the cry, standing on the deck of the warship, tapping their shields with their swords, and letting out a high-pitched war cry.
“For Her Majesty the Queen!”
The Colosseum can even hold naval battles!
Gray looked shocked.
In the center of the Colosseum, the waves were rolling, and warships lined up on both sides.
A war worthy of destroying a country is about to break out!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
“Her Majesty the Queen, there are more than 20,000 gladiatorial slaves and more than a hundred warships participating in this naval battle performance!” The red devil’s neck turned red, “Now, I’m just waiting for your order!”
Even the Red Devil was reminded by this shocking momentum and couldn't wait to relive it again.
Mountains of gold, towering stones, warships capable of destroying enemy countries, the lives of more than 20,000 gladiators...
Everything is for entertainment and to satisfy desires, which makes the Red Devil tremble with excitement!
Suddenly.
Gray felt a little scared.
This illusion is so lifelike, as if there are really tens of thousands of soldiers who will die because of her words!
"Do I...really want to give an order?" Gray said hesitantly.
“Yes, as long as you feel satisfied, then say that spell as agreed!!”
Amidst the earth-shattering cheers, the red devil’s voice almost roared, Only then could Gray hear clearly.
Gray calmed down, took a deep breath, and said: "Then, let's get started."
Clang!
The Red Devil drew out the sword from his waist, raised it high above his head, and shouted:
"For the Empire, for Her Majesty the Queen!!"
More than 100,000 spectators and tens of thousands of gladiators echoed loudly. , gathered into a shocking sound.
“For the Empire, for Her Majesty the Queen!!”
Boom! !
The two warships collided with each other. This was an impact that smashed the warships into pieces and moved forward at full speed. Even the keels were broken by the impact. The two warships sank with a crash, and the sea was covered with sawdust and planks.
Boom! !
A flagship carried the famous liquid flame. In Yeats's previous life, it was called "Greek Fire". It was the ultimate weapon of the Byzantine Empire in naval battles. It once defeated thousands of soldiers on the Black Sea. The Russian fleet of warships!
The dragon head launcher blasted out raging flames, instantly igniting a warship. The fire swept across the sea, continued to spread, and burned into a sea of fire.
The red devil watched with great interest, but Gray frowned and asked quietly:
"What will happen to these warships and soldiers...?"
The Red Devil said calmly:
"For this performance, the gladiators and warships are destined to sacrifice and burn more intensely. There is no problem with this."
"But..." "Don't worry, as long as the water gate is opened after the performance, the bodies and blood of thousands of soldiers will be washed into the river. , and specialized doctors will go there for disinfection and epidemic prevention.”
The red devil smiled slightly: "Weichen is a professional."
"That's enough!"
Gray felt nauseated and said: "I don't want to see this anymore! Let's start the final test Practice!”
The red devil was stunned, scratched his head, and said strangely:
“You have supreme power, why should you make sacrifices for a man?”
His words had the strange magic power to induce depravity, and Gray was in a trance, as if she had really become the queen.
Seeing that Gray was still hesitating, the Red Devil cleared his throat.
"Then, let me tell you a story, Your Majesty the Queen."
The red devil's eyes flashed and he whispered:
"In many years Previously, there was an empress who was born in the Purple House and was a direct descendant of the empire..."
"What does it mean to be born in a purple room?" Gray interrupted and asked curiously.
"Purple dye is difficult to obtain, so it symbolizes the royal family." The Red Devil patiently explained, "There is a purple room in King's Landing. Children born here are regarded as the orthodox blood of the empire... You It can be understood that being born in a purple room means that the royal blood is pure and noble."
"Then what?" Gray blinked.
“Ahem… Then, this queen has the blood of a giant dragon flowing in her body, and can make the dragon obey her orders. Her title is [Silver Dragon Queen], and her subjects include humans and dragons. "
Looking at Gray's surprised expression, the red devil smiled and said:
"And on the other side of the distant continent, there is another great emperor. His empire spans more than half of the Seven Seas, and he is destined to start a war with the Queen."
"On the sea, Saint A battle broke out between two domain-level experts, causing the giant dragon to break its wings, the sea water to dry up, and the stars to fall..." The red devil paused and continued.
"It was during such a fight that the two fell in love."
Gray: "Huh?!"
The red devil continued calmly:< br>
"The combination of the two will give birth to an unprecedented huge empire, which will arouse the fear of gods..."
"How can gods be afraid of humans?" Gray interrupted again.
The Red Devil glared at Gray.
Gray held her head high, assuming a majestic posture like a queen.
The red devil said angrily:
"Of course you will be afraid, Her Majesty the Queen, haven't you heard of the story of the 'Tower of Babel'?"
Gray shook her head blankly.
Red Devil: "..."
Is this really the wise man I picked? Is there something wrong?
However, every time she puts forward a point, she always hits the point...
The red devil said helplessly: "Okay, this is the second story."
"A long time ago, all humans spoke the same language, and everyone discussed with each other to build a high tower leading to the sky. . ”
“This frightened the gods, so they sent down divine punishments to make humans speak different languages. Barriers and misunderstandings arose, and the tower stopped working. Then the gods sent down a thunderbolt that destroyed The Tower of Babel was chopped into ashes..."
Gray was stunned and said thoughtfully: "So, God is worried that the huge human empire will become the second Tower of Babel? ”
The red devil’s eyes lit up, he nodded and said:
"As a result, the huge human empire was destroyed overnight, the queen was missing, the empire began to split, humans and dragons had misunderstandings, and fights broke out..."
"Later, although the emperor calmed down the war again, He unified the continent, but he never married again."
"He divided the huge empire among his knights. There was no longer the blood of the emperor in the world, and the religious power gradually overrode the imperial power. Hell was destroyed. The Kingdom of God is completely suppressing..."
The Red Devil said sternly: "What I want to say is that the decisions of the Queen and the Emperor are very irrational, and it is very stupid to give up power for the sake of emotion. , and will end up with nothing.”
“Now, it’s time for you to choose.”
The naval battle performance has come to an end, blood is soaked in the sea, black smoke is floating from the burned battleship, corpses and broken wood are floating, the deck is full of broken swords and arrows...
The red devil looked deeply and said: "You are Do you want to take control or give up everything? "
"What's your name?" Gray suddenly asked.
The Red Devil was stunned. The real name is very important. Once you master the real name, there are various ways to curse the real name.
Gray said coldly: "In the name of the Queen, I order you to tell me your real name!"
The red devil sighed, pressed his chest and saluted: "Your Majesty the Queen, my name is Malphite."
"Malphite? This name doesn't sound very smart..."
Gray muttered, then said righteously:
"Listen, Malphite, I have no interest in the empire or power!"
"For me Say, one or two precious things are enough!" Gray said:
"Bigger things are smaller, and smaller things are bigger!"
The red devil froze in place.
The devil who plays with people's hearts is as if his brain has shut down at this moment, sluggish and speechless.
After a long while, the Red Devil looked deeply at Gray and said in an admiring tone:
"My vision is indeed correct, my friend, then, congratulations to you..."< br>
The illusions on all sides gradually dissipated, the red devil's expression became a little serious, and the flattery was replaced by coldness.
"Congratulations on passing this level. As long as you pass one more level, you can get the Silver Sword, which is enough to kill gods!"
"Wait a minute." Gray shouted. Said, "The queen you are talking about, the queen with the dragon's bloodline, is she Irina? Does she have children? I mean...does she have the bloodline to survive?"
"Of course. No." The red devil indirectly answered Gray's question and said lightly, "Her relationship with the emperor ended in tragedy. If you want to blame it, it's because God doesn't allow humans to offend gods... Well, let's move on."
"No matter what the third level is, Malphite, I will not waver!" Gray said seriously.
"I'm so looking forward to——"
Neither material desire nor power can move her... The red devil stared at Gray and smiled:
"Because, I probably know that deep in your heart , What do you want most?”
*
The lonely moon hangs high.
Yeats healed Herod's wounds caused by beheading Pedro, but she still had trouble lifting the giant sword with her right hand.
"Don't worry about me, you go and complete your responsibilities."
The blood on Hilud's body has been purified by Yeats using the cleaning technique. He leaned on the giant sword and whispered .
Due to the arrival of Herod, Yeats got a moment to breathe. He immediately nodded, went to the Maypole, and released the spark spell to ignite it.
Under the cover of night, the silver moonlight is bright, the fig tree is burning, and the undead go to the kingdom of Hela safely in the blue flame lit by the Maypole.
The cold wind blew through Pan's flute, playing a sad requiem.
Da~da!
Under the moonlight, red shoes are walking gently around the burning Maypole, as if a girl is dancing in the moonlight with red shoes.
According to the ceremony, Yeats offered a prayer.
“The witch of night and dreams, as mysterious as fog and stars.”
"The breeze blowing out the candles in the dark, Lilith dancing in the moonlight, here I offer my prayers to you."
"May you come to this country and save your believers, I would like to offer you The sacred object, so that the divinity can be returned to you..."
In the dark forest, there is a lingering evening breeze blowing on my face.
The red shoes danced in the light of the bonfire. Dots of blue light flew out from the Maypole and floated towards the red shoes, gradually piecing together a pale figure with only an outline.
Like a lover's whisper, it sounded in Yeats's ears, full of charm and temptation.
"This beautiful music is so intoxicating to listen to..."
"You also want to come to my side and serve me? Cute little guy?" Lilith said with a chuckle.
"I am not a member of the Witches, I am just entrusted by others to ask you to come forward to fight against the Apostle of God." Yeats said calmly.
"Hmm~" Lilith's voice paused, "Little guy, I'm actually more interested in you..."
The pale figure on the red dance shoes , a pink beam of light fell towards Yeats, containing a bit of divinity, trying to probe Yeats's soul realm.
But this divinity is not even qualified to occupy a place in Yeats's soul realm.
What kind of divinity exists in Yeats’s soul realm? Moonlight and dark night are all powerful divine powers. Art and Mist, while slightly inferior, fit his profession perfectly.
The divinity of the Wild Hunt has repeatedly provided him with blessings, which can be called a gift from a fellow villager.
Facing the flying beam of light, Yeats had a thought in his mind and tried to call the panel in his heart.
There is no need to put this inferior divinity in, you can just swallow the panel!
In an instant, this pink light was absorbed by the panel.
A small line of text appeared in front of Yeats' eyes.
"You have gained the attention of the 'Lord of Lust, Lilith'!"
"Your 'Charm Humans' spell has now been changed to 'Charming Eyes'!"
"Charming Eyes: It has the power of confinement, brainwashing, and memory manipulation without destroying the opponent's spirit. It can be used on humans and other races, but is ineffective on those with strong will."
Yeats was startled and immediately overjoyed. He didn't expect that calling Lilith would bring unexpected gains!
Lilith exclaimed, never expecting that the charm had failed, and said with a smile: "Little guy, your will is quite firm~"
"Of course, I can resist everything." Yeats added, "Nothing but temptation."
Lilith giggled.
The laughter was as clear as a silver bell, floating in the moonlight, making Hilud clenched the hilt of his sword with a bad look in his eyes.
Under the moonlight, more and more divinity descends in this material realm through the Maypole.
A beautiful woman with flowing red hair, plump chest, wearing an open-collared white dance skirt, red dance shoes, and a smile on her lips.
The Lord of Lust, Lilith!
Lilith's body exudes youthful vitality, and a garland of roses and poppies hangs around her beautiful, creamy neck. Her eyes are full of affection, as if people can easily fall into the love network she weaves.
Whether it is appearance or talent, this silver-haired boy is very popular with Lilith.
Lilith looked around at Herod and Yeats meaningfully, pursed her lips and said:
"I can help you fight against the apostles, but there is a condition."
"What?" Yeats asked .
“I want this little guy to stay with me all night.” Lilith pointed at Yeats.
