Monarch of Evernight: Twenty-nine old friends

bsp;The Lava Castle is the oldest castle that has existed in the core territory of the Spike clan. Successive clan leaders have used it as the clan center and it has not moved for thousands of years.

This patriarch, Habus, only returned to the clan after the duke. He has never built a new castle for himself, so the clan center is equivalent to his private residence.

However, at this time, the once-flying clan flags were being lowered one by one, and the crown made of burning flames was rolled into the brocade. But there is no smoke or flames of war here, and there is no blood on the swords.

The parliamentary warriors were busy taking down the clan flags of Spike, stacking them neatly, and then replacing them with parliamentary flags at strategic locations. On both sides of the streets of the old castle, countless vampires gathered at the street corners, or watched all this silently from the windows behind the doors.

There are many strong people in the crowd, even counts and marquises. But their faces were all pale and miserable, and they had no intention of resisting. The entire process of occupying and changing the flag was quiet and smooth. The occupying forces did not behave excessively, and the vampires did not overreact.

Compared with the many wars that have occurred in the Twilight Continent, this place does seem very different.

On the top floor of the castle, on the terrace with the best view, stood an elegant man, wearing a demon-style formal suit with a flawless face. .

There is no one on the terrace, and there is no one on the entire top floor. This highest position belongs to him only.

In the distant sky, the air suddenly fluctuated like water ripples, and a figure walked out. He stayed in the air for a moment, then took a step forward. Immediately, the same fluctuation appeared in the air beside the terrace, and Habbs stepped out.

The **** armor on his body has been removed at this moment, and he has changed into a black jacket with a parliamentary emblem, but he can still see an inconspicuous dark color on his chest and ribs, which is a wound that has not completely stopped bleeding yet. . Emperor Qin's Force attribute is not as hot as most Dawn Forces, and can damage the skin, making it even more difficult to expel.

Habbs landed on the terrace and looked at the Demon Emperor. Without saluting, he said calmly: "It is a great honor that His Majesty the Demon Emperor personally takes care of this small territory of mine."

Habbs saw several Grand Duke fleets blocking outer space, and also saw the flames of war that had not dissipated in the territories of neighboring clans. In contrast, the core territory of Spirk was exceptionally calm and orderly. It's not surprising that the Demon King came in person, and under his pressure, even the Duke had no power to resist.

The Demon King turned around and said with a smile: "Mr. Habs, you came very quickly. I thought you would hesitate for a while."

Habbs said calmly: "This is my clan and my people. If I don't come back, I'm afraid this land will become a grave for all my people, right?"

There is no need for the parliamentary troops to take action. The Demon King's Domain is enough to cover this core territory, and all life in the domain will be strangled in darkness. If the Demon King is willing, he can even let their souls be lost in the darkness forever, unable to return to the river of blood.

The Demon Emperor was noncommittal and said: "I only know that the blood clan has always believed that the blood of the ancestor is above all else. As the crowned prince, you should be more important than all the people of the Spike clan put together."

"That's just the view of some vampires. As a strong man, what's the use if you can't protect your own descendants?"

The Demon King smiled and said: "However, you should already know that the Queen of the Night cannot protect you at this time. If you come back at this time, nothing can be changed. It seems that what is in this castle is what you think Something more important than your own life!”

Facing the Demon Emperor's penetrating gaze, Habus said slowly: "Under your power, don't you know exactly what I have here? If you want to take it away, you can't. No one can stop me. I just do what I should do when I think I should be at the place I should be.”

The Demon Emperor sighed and said: "I really don't know what to say about you. Are you worthy of admiration or are you too stupid?"

Habbs said: "If Metanzo could be as stupid as me, you would never have made the progress you have made on Twilight today."

"He thinks he is the smartest one. In fact, several of our great kings also think so."

"I said, that's just the view of some people."

The Demon King nodded and said: "So, Mr. Habs, do you know why I started this war?"

Habs stood, and from the eyes of the man opposite him, he could not see any ups and downs, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Now that I think about it, this Supreme Being always seems to have such a calm and calm appearance. Even if he is rude and offensive that the superiors would never tolerate, he will never see it, so he is so indifferent to everyone. Most people have an illusion of gentleness and peace.

However, no matter what the Demon King's expression or posture is, as long as the words come out of his mouth, it may shock the entire Yongye.

Suddenly, Habbs had a feeling that perhaps he had underestimated the Demon King all along. In other words, the entire Eternal Night World underestimated him.

The Queen of the Night has always been aloof. From her bloodline, to her power, to her temperament and appearance, she is so perfect and impeccable. Her prestige has transcended races. Compared with her, both the Demon Emperor and the Spider Queen, and even the supreme beings from ancient times, all pale into shame.

Perhaps it is precisely because there must be shadows under the bright moon that people forget how the Demon King climbed from a young warrior with mediocre qualifications and background to the supreme position of dominating the entire demon world step by step.

Among the three supreme beings, the Demon King is the most approachable. He is the youngest and therefore relatively active. No one thought that it was precisely because of his activity that he had secretly made such a far-reaching plan.

Habbs has only been away from the Twilight Continent for three days, and from the information he received from Lynard before the war, it can be inferred that the war here will not break out for more than two days. In the blood clan's base camp, it was defeated by such a large-scale attack. Metazo's betrayal was definitely not the only reason.

The old and new parties within the Vampire Clan have been fighting for thousands of years, and Metanzo also has opponents, so he cannot completely cover the sky with one hand. Within the Council, although the holy war has existed for thousands of years, the current all-out war against the vampires is not a holy war. Werewolves and spider demons are not stupid, and they will not take the side of the demons overnight.

This is a delicate and meticulous plan that has been planned for who knows how long.

However, the war has broken out, and the demons have gained a decisive advantage from the beginning. By this time, the reason for the war can be said to be important, or it can be said to be unimportant.

Habbs doesn't quite understand why the Demon King spends time talking to him.

The Demon Emperor said: "Actually, Mr. Habs, you don't have to be so hostile to me. This war is not to eliminate the vampires."

Habbs sneered, "Isn't it to eliminate the vampires? Metanzo's betrayal, the Blue King must have fallen, right? The dark gospel is probably more dangerous at the moment. If my guess is correct, the sleeping ancestor is also not here. There is a possibility of waking up. As for me, now that I am back, I have no intention of leaving alive. Is a vampire still a vampire without the blood of the ancestor? ”

The Demon King patiently said: "I am not trying to eliminate the ancestor's bloodline, but to purify it."

"Purification?" Habbs still sneered.

The Demon King said slowly: "Sir Habs, what do you think of the river of blood going away?"

Habbs frowned. Although he knew that this matter must not be kept secret in front of the Demon King, hearing him ask it clearly made people feel very uncomfortable. However, for all the upper echelons of the Vampire Clan, the long river of blood is the real concern. Compared with it, even the all-out war in front of them may not be that important.

"Even Her Majesty the Queen doesn't know why the river of blood has gone so far. Have you found the reason?"

"It's not a finding, it's just a guess." The Demon King looked up into the void, as if he could penetrate the world's barriers and saw the long river of blood known as the dark artery, and said: "The long river of blood started to go away, but it actually started from The human race appears in our field of vision."

Habbs frowned and said: "That was just a coincidence of time, and when Dawn appeared on the power spectrum, there were more than just human species of Dawn creatures."

"Is it a coincidence? When humans appear in the vampire recipes, the mark of the Thirteenth Clan will disappear."

"There seems to be no connection between these two things."

The Demon King smiled and did not argue much. He just said: "The mark of the Thirteenth Clan should be the one closest to the source of darkness among the marks of the River of Blood, right? It is purer than your Black Fire. The Black Fire's The core still retains the appearance of blood, but it can completely transform into another form."

Habbs was stunned. All the ancestors had lost their memory of the thirteen clans. He was the new ancestor and had no knowledge in this area. He was vaguely uneasy. He didn't know whether it was because the Demon Emperor had revealed so many secrets of the blood clan, or because of what the Demon Emperor was going to say next.

The Demon Emperor did not let his speculation linger for too long, saying: "Human race is a natural life form of the dawn. When the human race appears in the vampire's diet, the bloodline will be contaminated by the force of dawn. The Thirteenth Clan, That’s why it died.”

"This is just... guess."

"Maybe. This world is dark, but the real eternal night was gradually lost the moment the human race appeared. In the beginning, the existence of the human race was no different from those ordinary animals and plants, so no one realized it What happened. Even though there was a new force on the spectrum, no one connected them."

"For a long time, the force of dawn has been increasing in our world, while the source of darkness has continued to be polluted by the force of dawn, gradually losing its original appearance. Until more than a thousand years ago, the accumulated erosion exceeded the critical point, and the source of darkness continued to be polluted by the force of dawn. The rebellion, and the Blood Tribe, as the first protector of the human race, was actually punished, that is, the river of blood went away."

Habbs looked serious, "Are you saying that the Dawn Force is the cause of the river of blood flowing away?"

"That's my guess."

As the Demon King, if he is willing to put this speculation into words, he must be quite confident. However, after the initial shock, Habbs turned calm and said: "No matter what, I am a vampire. I should have my share in this war."

The Demon Emperor had no intention of taking action and said: "Sir Habs, I don't want the vampire race to perish, I just want to restore the purity of the ancient times. Those who are purged are the polluted ones, and they cannot turn back. I We have not taken action against all vampires. Outside of Twilight, the scope of involvement in your other continents is very small."

"The war has reached this point, I can't believe what you say."

"In fact, you are the only vampire I have informed about the above speculation so far. Do you know how those people in Metanzo were convinced?"

Habbs said coldly: "Weren't you bribed?"

The Demon Emperor smiled and said: "If I hadn't been persuaded, would it have been so easy to bribe him?"

Habbs unexpectedly replied, "I don't want to know." He raised his hand, blood flowed up from his wrist, and the **** weapon was looming.

The Demon King sighed. He stood with his hands behind his back without any movement, but his pressure instantly covered the terrace and directly pushed back Habs's **** weapons. "Metadelon, my dear old friend, you are still so stubborn."

Habbs' back hit the stone wall of the terrace, and an abnormal red flashed across his already pale face. Hearing the name spoken by the Demon King, his whole body stiffened for a moment before he stood up straight. "I am not an awakened person."

The Demon Emperor said: "Yeyetong doesn't seem to be a true awakener. Don't you really think these are all problems with your holy river?"

Habbs did not expect that this matter would be used as evidence by the Demon Emperor, and he was unable to refute it for a while.

"Metadelon, apart from you, I no longer have any old friends from the adventurer days." The Demon Emperor's voice was very soft, as if he was chatting with friends in a spring garden, as if Habbs had just The military confrontation has never existed.

When the Demon King was an adventurer, he was still an ordinary warrior. To be a bit special, he was also a bard. At that time, the elder brother of the Spock twins was said to have mediocre qualifications and was only famous for his musical talent. The place where Kane and Metadelon met was at the salon of a noble lady in a neutral territory.

Habbs was silent for a while before saying: "Don't call me that name."

The Demon King said politely: "Habbs, if you don't want to talk about the past, then can't the results of that laboratory on the Fenghuo Continent convince you of what I say?"

Habbs said: "No matter what, I never thought of betraying the Blood River."

The Demon Emperor said: "But are you really willing? It's obvious that the twins have the same talent, and they are obviously brothers of blood, but there is only one way for you to go, it's either this or that. This is not the end. The worst thing is that you are equally good but have bad consequences. It’s not that the two brothers only have one piece of candy, so you can just give up to Samael, but if you want to get the complete power of the mark, the crowned one must devour his own. Brother."

Habbs's face became very ugly, and he was unable to control his body due to injuries and fatigue, and he swayed.

The Demon King sighed softly, "When I heard that you went to sleep when you were only two hundred years old, I knew that you would not wake up again. But looking at the way you are now, you have awakened, which means, Samael fused his power to you."

Habbs said slowly: "Kane, you can always see people's hearts, but..."

For the first time, the Demon Emperor was not polite and interrupted Habs, saying: "If the river of blood returns to the ancient times, this tragedy will not happen again."

Habbs can already guess how the Demon King persuaded those betrayers. In fact, no one may know whether all the problems have been solved after the restoration of Blood River, but the millennium of silence has been too long, and the occasional appearance of one or two favorites has not only failed to ignite hope, but has made most people despair.

After Habbs was silent for a moment, he said: "Your words are indeed enough to persuade them. But you and I both know that the reason why the river of blood is far away is still just a guess. I don't think this can make me betray."
