Edge of the Apocalypse Chapter 1243: Road signs

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters on Edge of Doom!

On the other side of the Great Saron Fault, there is a vast void, with mist floating on it for years. The imperial capital of the Demon Shadow Empire was located above the void, between the mountains and fog.

The magic circle city is just like the meaning of its name. This magnificent capital city looks like concentric circles combined together, interlocking. The Magic Ring City is very old. Even though the starships in the sky are like ridges, the buildings in the city still retain the ancient flavor. This city is located above the void in front of the Great Fault, but it is different from the floating island of Babylon in that there is no anti-gravity device below the city. Supporting the city are thousands of stone pillars that are as rough as mountain peaks. No one knows how these stone pillars came from. They seem to be naturally located under the capital, supporting this city of nearly 100 square kilometers.

There is a very obvious central axis in the capital, which is also the Avenue of Magic Shadows. The Avenue of Magic Shadows runs through the entire city. It starts from the Shadow Fort, traverses the entire city, and leads directly to a tunnel on the Great Saron Fault. In the old age, the magic ring city had to go to the outside world through the avenue to enter the fault tunnel, and then to the surface.

Naturally, it is not that troublesome now, and the magic shadow spaceship that comes and goes is the most powerful explanation.

The Shadow Castle is located in the deepest part of the city. It is the castle of Spinnak. Even when the weather is at its best, even if it is in the extreme daytime, the castle will be hidden in the shadows for many years because of the towering mountain wall that rises thousands of meters from the back. From a distance, it is difficult to see the full picture of the Shadow Fort, only the strange lines on the surface of the castle that glow red in the shadows for many years.

These lines are like the blood vessels of creatures, so most of the life on Agareth thinks that Shadow Fort is a dormant living thing.

Of course, this statement has not been accurately verified, after all, the one who lives in Shadowhold is one of the most terrifying characters on the planet. Around the shadow castle stood the cone-shaped evil shadow towers. These tall towers without doors and windows, almost like pillars, watched the magic ring city and even the vast area near the Great Saron fault. The end of each Evil Shadow Tower will emit a dark yellow beam of light from time to time. These beams of light are penetrating. There is no known substance on Agareth that can prevent them from penetrating.

The twenty-four Evil Shadow Towers monitor everything in this world like Sponak’s eyes. Nothing can escape the devil’s sight, even when he is asleep.

But the entire Demon Shadow Empire knew that Spinak had awakened.

On the other day, the demon king’s coercion swept across his entire kingdom like a tide from the deep sea, and on the same day, the news of Spinak’s awakening came from the magic ring city. This is really shocking information. Since the Void Skyfire expedition to Agareth, the devil has entered a long sleep. When Frius rises, he often wakes up. But the time to wake up is very short, sometimes a few days, sometimes a few hours. More time was spent by the Demon King in his deep sleep, and never before waking up like this time, he would directly release his breath of the mighty deep **** and declare the fact that he was awake to the creatures on the entire planet.

Therefore, many people in the empire speculated that Spinak was going to formally attack the Black Emperor, but after the Demon King regained consciousness, he did not make any major moves. Even not long ago, there was a battle between the Shadow Empire and Dobia’s army on the land bridge of the Sea of ​​Blood. That battle ended with the retreat of the Shadow Empire’s army. Even so, Spner was not seen. Ke worry, this made everyone in the Demon Shadow Empire panic.

But no matter what the outside world is, in the Shadow Castle, everything must be very careful. Even one breath must be controlled well so as not to attract Spinak's attention. No one wants to attract the attention of the Demon King, even the soldiers serving in the Shadow Castle.

But today, Lamer must go to meet the demon king, which makes General Lamer, who is known as the latent demon, feel particularly heavy.

Lamer, the Baer, ​​is like a tall and thin monkey, his hands and feet are long, and his face is like an ape. There are long and short bone spurs from the top of the head to the back, and he always bends over while walking, looking like an elderly man. But in fact, the general of Spinak was a master of stealth and assassination, otherwise he would not win the title of "Latent Demon". In addition to commanding an assassination troop to serve the Demon Empire, Lamer is also the Intelligence Director of Spinak, responsible for managing the huge intelligence network covering the entire empire.

Walking into the shadow hall of the castle, I heard the laughter of women inside. The hall retains the ancient architectural style of Agares, dark, majestic, and elegant. Those tall and long narrow windows let the bright skylight outside leave only long narrow spots on both sides of the hall, like two rows of loyal guards. The stone pillars supporting the dome in the hall are carved with statues of naked women, which look like these women holding the pillars. The dome is filled with spar, the largest one is as big as a table top. At night, the brilliance of these spars is enough to light up this hall.

At the end of the hall is a high platform. There is a stone step on the high platform extending to the ground. There are 27 steps in total. The steps are from bottom to top, from wide to narrow. On the high platform, there is a black iron throne. The throne is shaped like many straight and pointed blades. At the bottom of the throne are two iron statues of strange beasts. The strange beasts are embedded with blood-red spar, which looks like a living thing from a distance. As if these two strange beasts carried the throne all year round, there was a figure on the throne, which almost merged with the shadow on the high platform, making it impossible to see its outline. On each side of the throne sits an enchanting woman. There is a big difference between women and men of the Bar ethnic group. Men of this race have almost no common characteristics, but women are almost the same as humans. It's just that their skin is dull, their pupils are bright red, and their body surface has natural lines, but they are all **** and beautiful.

Lamer looked at the throne on the high platform and recognized that the two women were the sisters who had been sent into the Shadow Castle by an adult the day before. The people they were pleasing were naturally the tallest in the Shadow Empire. exist. Lamo stopped at a distance of 100 meters from the high platform, and then the whole person fell to the ground with five bodies, and said at the beginning: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

A voice sounded from the high platform: "What's wrong, Ramer, you seem to mess up something."

The sound is flat, with almost no fluctuations, and it is constantly echoing in the hall. The volume is not loud, but it seems to be whispering in the ear. Ramer didn’t dare to get up and said, “Just now, I received the news. The Kidd’s transport fleet lost contact. They seemed to have been attacked before they entered the planet. After passing through the atmosphere, another accident happened. The fleet has been completely destroyed, and we are currently confirming where the wreckage of the fleet fell."

"What!" The voice on the high platform suddenly increased a few degrees, and the voice became high-pitched and angry. The pressure poured down from the high platform like a tide, and instantly swept across the entire hall. The two sisters on the throne showed painful expressions. There was a soft sound of bone crushing in their bodies, and their **** and beautiful bodies turned into two pools of flesh in an instant, but they couldn't bear the supreme power and let them go violently on the spot.

Lamer also gurgled all over, and Spinak was so breathless that he couldn't breathe. After a while, the horrible tide of power slowly receded, and the light in the hall seemed to be brighter.

"This time the Kidd sent me the Heart of the Stars, using the water purification fleet as a cover. It should have been foolproof. Who attacked them in outer space, and, immediately check this for me. What happened after the fleet entered the atmosphere. But most importantly, you must find the Heart of the Stars, it is more important than anything!"

"Your Majesty." Lamer said with a trembling voice: "Once the fleet wreckage is confirmed to have fallen to the ground, I will immediately send a team to recover. I believe the Heart of the Stars should be nearby. But..."

"But what?"

"This is your Majesty, according to our deduction. The place where the wreckage fell should be near the wasteland."

"The Great Wasteland?" The figure on the throne twisted slightly: "That's a bit troublesome, the Great Wasteland and the Forgotten Realm are adjacent to each other. If our people appear in that place, I'm afraid she will be shocked. Moreover, once we go to the wasteland, it will definitely attract the attention of the **** of Frius. He will definitely try to figure out our purpose. I can't imagine what would happen if the heart of the stars were given to Frius. Kind of consequences."

"Your Majesty, it's just a heart of stars, presumably the Black Emperor won't be interested?"

"If it was the core of the dying planet, Frios would certainly not be interested. But the heart of the star was taken directly from a young planet by the Kidders with their latest technology. Its energy is immeasurable. The most important thing is that it is not only complete, but also young. With it, I can make the Idahua star suffer as much as possible, and it can make Frios this **** betray me. Painful!"

La Mo quickly said: "Then I know what to do, Your Majesty."

"You better know."

Lamer almost left the Hall of Shadows by crawling. After the two towering black iron gates were closed, he reluctantly stood up on the wall. But he found that his legs were still trembling, and Spinak was as unpredictable as his figure. As long as he said a word incorrectly, Lamer believed that his fate would not be much different from that of the sisters. Fortunately, he left the hall alive, and he vowed that he would not step into this hall if there was no need.

Of course, the premise is to find the wreckage of the fleet and the heart of the stars!

Five hours have passed since landing on the ground.

Alan stood on a rock, looking into the distance. The snowy field seemed to have no boundaries, even with the light from the floating space light strips above his head, Alan could not see the end of the snowy field. The terrain here is fairly flat, but the weird force fields all over the space not only affect perception, but also affect vision. With Allen's eyesight, he could only see a place six to seven hundred meters away in this environment. As for the farther scene, it becomes a blur.

If he is like this, other people will naturally be more affected.

The sky still shows no signs of getting brighter, and it seems that Agareth's night is extraordinarily long. Had it not been for the time when Agareth hadn't entered the day or night, Allen would have thought that the sky would always be so dim. The snowy field is quiet, but being quiet does not mean that there is no life. A corpse lying not far away is a creature on the snowy field. It looks a bit like a giant lizard, except that it has no eyes on its head, five legs on its body, and a thick tail that splits into two sides from the middle section.

This creature inherited the chaotic characteristics of life on Agareth, and its seemingly head is actually used to confuse opponents. When Laura chopped off its entire neck with the blood-braking great sword, thinking it was safe, the strange beast still attacked. The Hubble next to him added another axe and almost cut it off, finally ending its life. Afterwards, Allen turned its corpse upside down, only to find that its abdomen had eyes and a mouth, and it turned out that the position of its abdomen was where its vital organs were.

God knows how many creatures like this there are on this snowy field.

But now, they are more anxious to find traces of the planet’s indigenous activities in order to understand where they are currently, so that they can make the next plan.

A cloud of black mist suddenly appeared nearby, and Belmode walked out of the black mist. After many attempts, he seemed to grasp the way to open the space channel on the snowy field, and he would never drive directly in the air like the first time. But Belmode is still very cautious, and there is no need, preferring to use his own legs instead of using space to penetrate the edge. He walked to the snow and pointed towards a corner of the vast snowfield: "Master, maybe we should go there and see. I think I should see the light, yes, the light."

Alan's eyes lit up, and he finally got a clue. He nodded and said, "Lead the way, Belmode."

They didn't go fast, and they encountered a few chaotic creatures along the way. These things have nothing in common. Among the chaotic creatures, there are soft creatures that look like sea mothers, without eyes, ears, nose, and nose; there are also monsters that have six or seven opposite legs like spiders, but their bodies are like wolves. . Only one thing is that these things are very good at disguising themselves. The parts that often seem to be deadly, in fact, can be abandoned, and even used to lure the enemy to attack.

More than an hour later, Allen saw the so-called light in Belmode's mouth.

This kind of light makes him feel uncomfortable.

No one, including Hubble, feels comfortable seeing a bleak green light. The Catu man waved his great axe and said in a buzzing voice: "I bet that it will definitely not be a good place."

"It's normal, because this is Agareth." Belmode said.

"Let's go over and take a look." Allen said.

The light seems to be open for a few hundred meters, not far away. But in fact, when Allen and the others walked towards the light, they found it was not that simple. After walking for a full kilometer, they discovered the location of the light, that is to say, the invisible force field on the snowy field also affected their judgment of distance.

A stone pillar stood before Allen's eyes. The pillar was rough and uneven. There was a stone cage on the ten-meter-high column, inside which was burning with aquamarine flames. This was the light they saw. Although it is not a real light, whether it is a stone pillar or a flame, it does not look natural. In other words, here are traces of indigenous activities on the planet. And not far away, there was another group of green fire, and further away there were two or three points of green light.

Allen exchanged glances with everyone, saying: "It seems to be something like road signs. The perception here is vague, and the sense of distance and direction are greatly reduced. There is no obvious reference on the snowy field. If there is no way, If it’s a target, I’m afraid the local aboriginals will also get lost."

"In other words, we will find a settlement." Laura said with joy.

"Don't be too happy, I don't think the natives of the planet will welcome us." Allen said, picking up Akao.

The five people walked toward the front of the snowy field along these green fires. When they saw the second lamp post, the snowy field was blowing in wind. Moreover, the wind and snow came very quickly, and after a few breaths of effort, his vision had become extremely blurred. The blurry vision of the light blue snowflakes dancing wildly, fortunately, those green flames do not know what fuel they use, but the wind can't go out. Allen made a gesture to make everyone speed up. They are not afraid of the ice and cold, they are afraid that the wind and snow will blow out the flames, and then they will have to spend a lot of time.

So the team braved the wind and snow, and when they passed the eighth lamppost, they finally saw the outline of the building. In the blizzard ahead, under a dazzling green light, is a piece of building. Only because of the backlit light system, only large black silhouettes can be seen.

Alan had just taken the first two steps when a green light suddenly lit up in the wind and snow. He stopped abruptly, and turned sideways, a horribly green light beam glided past him, falling diagonally on the snow a hundred meters away, silently rising up a group of green flames. In that green fire, a large area of ​​ice and snow disappeared instantly, and a pit with hot smoke rising appeared.

Someone in front of him said "Huh", and then an unpleasant voice rang: "Who are you guys!"

"We are just ordinary travelers, but this **** blizzard has made us lost. Now we need a place to rest. Can we pass by?" Allen said in pure Agareth language.

There was a burst of laughter before someone said, "Then tell me, where are you from and where are you going to go?"

"We can't tell you where we are from, but what we can tell you is that we are going to the wasteland." Allen said the wording that he wanted to say early in the morning. The wasteland is a gray area and there are everyone there. If the other party wants to guess the identity of the crowd from their destination, it will only be a joke.

Unexpectedly, there was a louder laughter in the wind and snow, and then the voice turned coldly: "You are lying, I have never heard that the guy who is going to the wasteland will wander to the edge of the forgotten realm! "

Allen's face changed immediately. He had long realized that this snowy field was weird, but he didn't expect that it would be the edge of the Forgotten Realm. Thinking of Idahuaxing's warning about this area, he couldn't help feeling heavy.
