Monarch of Evernight: Sixty-Nine Masks

bsp;Since the beginning of the **** war, fighting has not stopped around Blackstream City. Most of the small towns have been abandoned. Residents have withdrawn to cities with complete fortifications. Even if there are still places where people live, they have actually become gray transactions. Zone or temporary base for adventurers, mercenaries and hunters.

The town that appeared in front of Qianye had also turned into ruins. Most of the houses in the town were burned down, and only a few were still intact. On the roof of one of the houses, a scarlet flag was flying. On the flag was a human head, half of which was flesh and blood, and the other half of which was a skeleton. It was indescribably ferocious.

Such a flag is a symbol of a state of war. It is generally used by large adventurer teams or mercenary legions to declare territorial sovereignty and clearly refuse any force to approach. Anyone who dares to raise a war flag in this environment is not someone to be trifled with.

Seeing half of the skull and crossbones flag, Qianye frowned, used his headlights to signal a request to approach, and slowed down the car and drove slowly into the town square.

It was very quiet along the way. Not even a mouse was seen in the ruins, and there were no sentries to stop him. However, Qianye noticed with the keenness of a sniper that there were many vigilant eyes in the dark. He and Ye Tong got out of the car, came to the house that was still intact, and knocked on the door.

The door opened and Song Zining walked out. At this moment, the Seventh Young Master was dressed like an adventurer, with bullets, sabers, and long and short guns hanging all over his body. He actually had a bloodthirsty and fierce aura, which was completely different from his gentle and elegant temperament in the past. When he saw Qianye, his first words were: "You're late."

Qianye looked at the Force sundial and said, "It's only five minutes late."

"It's not even a minute too late. Come in, everything is ready." Song Zining waved, letting Qianye and Ye Tong into the room, and then closed the door.

After entering the door, there is a medium-sized living room. The original owner of this building should have lived a relatively well-off life. There is a fireplace in the hall and the furniture is very neat. Ye Tong and Qian Ye were both dressed in hunter attire. After entering the room, she looked around, then pulled down the hood of her cloak, took off her dust mask and goggles, shook her black hair, tied it up, and There was a ponytail on the back of the head.

Song Zining stood aside and looked at Ye Tong quietly, not knowing what he was thinking. After Ye Tong and Qianye took off their cloaks, he said: "Is this the princess of Monroe?"

Hearing this, Ye Tong turned his head and looked at Song Zining, his eyes bottomless.

Song Zining suddenly felt that his eyes were drawn by the endless depth in her pupils, and he was about to fall into the bottomless abyss. At that moment, his whole body was shocked, and he took a step back suddenly, and there was a burst of light from the force around him. The light faded, and the leaves fell like rain. Only then did they escape from the insidious pull.

Yetong's face turned pale for a moment, then returned to normal.

Qianye saw something was wrong and immediately took a step forward. Dongyue stood up between the two of them, breaking the invisible pull.

The abilities of Song Zining and Ye Tong are both mysterious and mysterious. They don’t know whose energy moved first, but they ended up fighting each other unintentionally.

When Song Zining looked at Ye Tong again, his expression was slightly awe-inspiring, and he deliberately avoided eye contact with her. Ye Tong stood with his eyes lowered and no longer looked at Song Zining.

Song Zining took a deep look at Qianye and said, "Go in, everything is ready inside. I believe it will be helpful to you in your future life."

The inner room has been remodeled, and there is a dining table converted into a workbench in the center. There were several shelves standing next to them, full of medicines and surgical tools, most of which Qianye didn't recognize.

There is a comfortable high-backed chair placed under the window. Sitting on it is a short, fat old man with a very ugly appearance. He is autistic, eyes closed, and moving his fingers in a mysterious rhythm.

"This is Master Lu Ju, a true master in the field of disguise. It is also our luck to be able to invite him to take action this time." Song Zining introduced with a smile.

Hearing Song Zining's voice, Lu Ju opened his small triangular eyes slightly, and said with a haughty look: "It is indeed your luck! If I hadn't heard that this person is special, my old man happens to have something. We need you, but just a few of you are worthy of me."

Although all strange people are often eccentric, the way this master speaks seems to be designed to make people uncomfortable.

Qianye’s eyebrows twitched, but he still nodded and said, “Thank you, Master.”

Lu Ju snorted, shook Erlang's legs, and said, "Is it so blunt to say thank you?" Hearing this, Qianye and Ye Tong frowned together.

At this time, Song Zining walked up, pulled Qianye behind him, and said with a smile: "My brother is not good at words, but he is very good at fighting. He just killed a dozen of Yongye's nobles recently, and his murderous intent is still a bit strong. I hope you will do your best to deal with this matter, and I will be rewarded generously."

Lu Ju snorted again, put on all his airs, and then slowly stood up. However, Qianye's eyesight was very sharp, and he had already seen that Lu Ju's face was trembling when he heard the words 'killed more than a dozen Yongye nobles'.

Lu Ju walked up to Ye Tong and looked him up and down before asking, "Is that her?"

"Exactly." Song Zining replied.

"Okay, sit down over there and don't move."

Yetong sat down on the chair as instructed. Lu Ju picked up her hand and stabbed the fingertips with a golden needle. However, the needle failed to pierce her skin!

Lu Ju was suddenly startled, and his eyes changed a little. He calmed down and replaced it with a gold needle as thick as a finger. The needle's head was clearly a slanted blade. It wasn't a needle at all, it was just a carving knife.

Qianye's expression changed and he wanted to speak out, but Song Zining seemed to have expected it and held him down.

After using this thing, Lu Ju's fingers even trembled slightly due to the force, and then he opened Ye Tong's fingers, and a round drop of blood appeared on the needle. He carefully dripped the blood into a long test tube next to him and watched the changes inside with bated breath.

The test tube was originally filled with a colorless and transparent liquid. As soon as this drop of blood was put in, the blood color immediately spread and spread throughout the test tube. Then the color became thicker and thicker until the entire tube turned bright red and began to boil.

During the boiling process, the blood gradually revealed a golden color, and after a while it turned completely golden.

Looking at this tube of golden blood, Lu Ju was so excited that his whole body trembled, and he kept shouting: "The blood of the ancestor, really the blood of the ancestor!"

Qianye was a little puzzled that Lu Ju was so excited. At this time, Song Zining whispered from the side: "Master Lu Ju's ancestors also had blood, but it has been diluted in this generation."

Qianye suddenly realized that Lu Ju was a mixed race. However, with the strong characteristics of the blood clan, it was eventually diluted and swallowed up by the human blood. It seems that the blood of the vampire ancestor Lu Ju is really not very good. Whether in Eternal Night or the Empire, mixed-race people are at the bottom of society.

Lu Ju poured the liquid in the test tube into a metal vat on the ground, and then took more than ten kinds of medicines from the nearby shelf and poured them in. Finally, the liquid turned into a transparent water color and was completely destroyed. .

After doing all this, Lu Ju walked to another basin of liquid, immersed his hands in it, and began to clean it carefully, even under the nails. His expression at the moment was extremely focused, as if he was doing something. ceremony.

After a while, Lu Jufang raised his hands. He didn't know what he was using to wash his hands. He didn't wipe them with a towel at all. He dried them almost immediately after leaving the liquid surface.

He bowed to Nighteye and said: "Your Highness, please close your eyes. I want to offend you a little." At this moment, the master's original arrogance and rudeness were all gone, and he was treated with respect like an ordinary vampire. The superior one.

Qianye was slightly startled and turned to look at Song Zining, who looked like he had known this.

Yetong closed her eyes as instructed, and Lu Ju's hands were like the wind, quickly passing over her head and face, and his short and thick fingers were extremely agile, pinpointing the positions of the skull one by one.

Lu Ju retracted his hands, took out the drawing board, drew a portrait on it, showed it to Ye Tong, and said respectfully: "This is an appearance that can be changed. Are you satisfied with it?"

Qianye also saw the portrait. The person in the painting had a similar outline to Ye Tong, but the face was completely different. Even Qianye himself could not recognize it.

Lu Ju only used a few strokes to paint the portrait lifelike and full of charm. This writing power is no less than that of Song Zining.

Yetong looked at the portrait carefully and put forward many opinions. Lu Ju followed them one by one and revised more than a dozen drafts in succession before Yetong nodded. It seems that even in a dangerous situation, when faced with appearance issues, women of any status will always worry about it.

Lu Ju then explained to Ye Tong and Qianye what to do next. It turns out that Lu Ju wants to make a mask based on this portrait. The special thing is that this mask is alive, driven by the Force, and can survive for several years. Such a mask can no longer be described in just four words: lifelike.

As long as you don't encounter a powerful person above the level of a **** general, ordinary mystical perception and detection will not be able to see through the mask made by Lu Ju, and will only think that it is living flesh and blood, part of Ye Tong's body.

Such a method is worthy of the title of master.

Qianye didn’t know where Song Zining found Lu Ju from, but he knew that asking such a person to take action was expensive, and often required paying a special price.

"Your Highness, please lie down on the workbench. It may hurt a little later. Do you need anesthesia?"

"No need." Nighteye replied.

Then Ye Tong lay down on the workbench, Lu Ju arranged hundreds of large and small knives in several rows, opened the refrigerator, and carefully took out a thin piece of flesh-colored skin from inside, covering Ye Tong face.

Seeing Lu Ju start working, Song Zining pulled Qianye outside so as not to disturb the operation process.

The two stood in front of the fireplace. Song Zining handed Qianye a cigarette, and then rarely lit one for himself.

Qianye rarely saw him smoking, so he couldn't help but ask: "Is there something on your mind?"

"A little bit." Song Zining let out a sigh of relief.

"Which aspect? Is it related to my matter?"

Song Zining smiled bitterly and said: "Apart from this, what else can there be? Do you really not know how much trouble you have caused?"

Qianye was silent for a moment and said: "I know."

"You don't know!" After rudely yelling at Qianye, Song Zining fell silent. Qianye didn't say anything, just looking at the burning cigarette between his fingers.

Song Zining didn’t finish smoking the entire cigarette before he said: “I checked the Monroe Princess, and there is some incredible news. Since she has the title of Princess, it means that the awakened one is Black. The bloodline of Wing King Anduya, and in the past, the relationship between the Black Wing King and the Queen of Night/Lilith has not been very good. In addition, it is said that Edward, the son of the Parth clan, wants to become a partner with her, and now people are following him. If you run away, then the Holy Son will definitely not give up. This is not the worst. The key is that the Queen of the Night is awake now!"

Qianye sighed and said, "I know."

Song Zining grabbed Qianye's collar, lowered his voice, and said angrily: "You know?! You knew and brought her back. Do you think you can hide from the Holy Son of the Blood Clan in a place like Yongye?" , or even the Queen of the Night? What do you want to do, go to the hinterland of the empire?"
