Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
The lord ’s castle is simpler than imagined—this huge fortress seems to have been built so tall and heavy just to serve as a military bunker. There is almost no extra decoration outside the emblem of the Lagun Empire and some decorative swords full of fighting spirit.
Hao Ren and Charlemagne led by Came along the castle corridor to the room where Grand Duke Irving was located. The slightly dark corridor echoed the footsteps of everyone. The corridor has only one side with windows open, and the skylight shines through those high and narrow window slits, falling on the decorative shield on the other side of the wall, and a hazy halo and dust appear on the surface of the latter. Flying in the halo, as if light smoke.
The guards and servants along the way saluted respectfully in front of this special "guest team" and retreated to the sides of the corridor, as can be seen from their inconceivable panic expression. Already awake, but the situation is definitely not good.
At the door of Dagong's room, an old man in a blue-edged robe with white background happened to push the door and came out.
Kem stepped forward and nodded to the old man: "Bachelor Holman, I brought the distinguished guests whom Duke named to meet."
The old man called the Holman Bachelor raised his eyes and looked at the line of people in front of him. His eyebrows flickered slightly, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his tone: "I have n’t heard of so many people-Grand Duke Very bad, seeing so many people at once ... "
"Dagong is named to meet them," Keem emphasized again, "Bachelor, as far as I know, you are only responsible for treating Dagong's injury, not selecting the guests he wants to meet."
Bachelor Holman stands up and is full of breath: "Reducing visitors is also a part of restoring health!"
As a result, as soon as his voice fell, he heard a more full-bodied voice from the room: "Holman! I was just injured a little bit, far away from death! Let the guests come in-you Don't block the door! "
Hallman ’s face twitched slightly, exhaled in a discouraged manner, and silently retreated to the side: "Go in-try to keep quiet."
Duke Owen lay on the oak bed in the middle of the room, gazing at the six people walking into the room—four Hao Ren, plus two brothers and sisters Charlemagne. He is an old man with a strong physique that makes people doubt whether he has barbaric blood. His thick hair is quite rich in northern characteristics. Although he was lying on the bed after a serious injury, the huge body that could not be covered by bedding still had a full of courage.
Sunlight spills into the room through the bedroom window. This sunlight should make the room brighter, but somehow, the first feeling after Hao Ren enters the room is dim-dim everywhere, everything in this room seems to be covered A layer of shadowed tulle, even in direct sunlight, the floor appears to be dull and decayed as if it was blocked by something.
There is another person in the room, who is a silver-haired woman in a white dress and expressionless face. She stands next to the Grand Duke, her head slightly lowered, and she seems to be the maid who takes care of the Grand Duke ’s living. For the appearance of the Hao Ren line She just looked up slightly, and then lowered her head again to no movement.
"Ah, you are here," said the old man lying on the bed after the door was closed, his voice calm and powerful, not at all like the rumor that he was seriously injured and almost died. His eyes were on Charlemagne brothers and sisters and Hao Ren swept through the group and started to say hello like ordinary brave old man, "Prince and princess of Isu-Ha, I heard about your experience, it is really not easy for you to be here, the opposite of the world The situation in that country is okay? And you ... the mysterious people from the 'World Tree Temple' ... It's really mysterious. I asked the best scholars to check. No one knows what the world tree temple is, you are out of thin air It appears to be normal. "
"Duke Haywood Owen," Charlemagne stepped forward and bowed to the old man lying on the bed. Although he was a royal, he still sent a face to a legendary veteran like Haywood Owen. To pay tribute to myself, "I heard that you were seriously injured, but now I see that you have recovered, and it is reassuring."
"Aha, what **** recovers," Haywood Owen laughed aloud, "that is, being alive for the time being, and having time to meet the two of you guys, and ... the ones who came with you A mysterious friend. "
Speaking, Duke Owen ’s eyes fell on Hao Ren-after all, leading two girls and a little girl, Hao Ren was the most striking in the group of four: "I heard that you are like walking Also through the black pine forest, can you easily defeat Lord Gorgon? "
"It's just some special abilities," Hao Ren said with a smile. "We have eyes that can see through the mist of the black pine forest directly, and there are some small ones in dealing with ancient weapons like Lord Gorgon. Experience. "
"Some little experience ..." Grand Duke Owen laughed at this statement, "Haha, it's really an understatement-you know there are a few people in this world who can cross the lost area directly like you Black Pine Forest? How many more people can defeat those Gorgon lords-let alone victory, one Gorgon lord can almost destroy a whole conventional legion, and you ... Gee, your world tree shrine is not small Ah. "
Charlemagne suddenly realized that the main concern of the granddad in front of him seemed to be in the Hao Ren line (or in the "World Tree Temple"), so he couldn't help saying: "Duke, forgive me for interrupting ——My sister and I have an important mission and need to see Princess Constance as soon as possible. May I ask her ... ”
"She is on the front line, but she already knows you are here," Grand Duke Irving waved his hand. "Relax, she will meet you, and soon. Patience, young people, patience are the most important traits. ——Second only after having a good amount of wine, do you understand? ”
Charlie Man opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but Avenna next to him said first: "We understand."
She then whispered a few words next to Charlemagne's ear. The latter looked at the silver-haired woman next to Grand Duke Owen with some surprise and nodded.
"You, and your 'World Tree Temple'," Grand Duke Owen turned his attention back to the Hao Ren line, "I think it's not just a 'remaining independent monastic organization', right?" "
Hao Ren did n’t know what the other party meant, so he temporarily followed the topic and said, "What do you mean?"
"Are you ..." Grand Duke Owen frowned, and seemed to be trying to organize the language. "Do you have any old legends or prophecies that will allow you to re-enter the world in a special time? Regarding the era change ... Ha, it seems logical that you, a hidden organization that suddenly appeared in the world, should n’t you take the initiative to mention this aspect after seeing me? "
"Oh, it seems that it should be the way it is written in most books," Hao Ren patted his head. "Sorry, I haven't worked in this industry for a few years, and my work experience is not very rich. But then again, in Before saying this, you really do n’t want to find a way to stabilize your state first? Look at you like this ... I ’m afraid I ca n’t live tomorrow. "
As soon as this sentence came out, Charlemagne and Avenna suddenly opened their eyes in surprise, and looked at the Northern Grand Duke lying on the bed in a spirited spirit that could not see the feeling of weakness. The silver-haired woman with her head can't help but raise her head and quickly glanced at Hao Ren.
The Northern Grand Duke was stunned, and then he laughed: "Haha ... you really are a bit interesting, and it is a bit interesting ..."
"Duke Irving, you ..." Charlemagne couldn't help saying, "You are now ..."
"I said just now that I was just alive for a while," Grand Duke Owen looked at Charlemagne. "It's just that the eyes of ordinary people are absolutely invisible."
He then turned to Hao Ren: "You are right, I am dying, but how did you see it?"
"Leave this alone," Hao Ren said bluntly, "Let us see your wound."
"It may be scary," the old general lying on the bed said with a smile. "There are not only a few ladies, but also little girls, do you really want to see?"
"That's what I want to see," Leah stepped forward, pointing to the position of Grandpa Owen's chest. "Open it, the bandages and ointments inside are useless at all."
Duke Owen put away the smile on his face and nodded silently, while the silver-haired woman next to the bed stepped forward and opened the bedding that covered Dagon with a gentle motion.
There is no clothing on the upper body of the old general, but a thick bandage wrapped around it, but no blood or the like oozes out from under the bandage.
The silver-haired women did not disassemble them, but flicked their hands gently over the bandage, and the thick bandage broke and opened, revealing the shocking truth below.
Under the cover of a bandage, the large flesh and blood of Duke Irving ’s chest had already ulcerated and mutated. A twisted and torn wound was located on his right chest, and the blood and flesh around the wound seemed to be corroded by strong acid and generally appeared dark purple And sag inwards, and the most terrifying thing is that the wound and the decayed flesh and blood around it are "live"!
Those rotting and mutating flesh and blood seem to have independent lives and are generally creeping, constantly expanding their range of decay. At the junction between rotten meat and normal flesh and blood, those rotten parts even grow small spikes. And teeth, tearing and devouring healthy flesh around.
Just just glanced at it, Ai Wenna turned back pale-but in any case there was no exclamation.
After all, she has seen the honor of the Black Sword Knight after mutation.
"It was quite painful at first, but it doesn't feel much now," Grand Duke Owen glanced down at the injury on his chest. "They are gradually replacing my body. Some nerves have been" eaten "by them. A relief. "
"Have you not tried treatment?" Charlemagne looked bad, but said calmly.
"Try to cut off the rotten meat, but it will grow out again immediately, and it ’s exactly the same as before the cut. It ’s useless to dig out the entire wound. Corruption does n’t seem to be rooted in the body, but rooted. In my soul, "Grand Duke Owen said quietly," Ointment, magic, and even the blessing of elves have been tried, and this change is irreversible-only the secret art of Holman Bachelor A little bit of effect, he cut part of my soul, so that I can talk to you clearly. But this state should not last long, I can already hear some small voices buzzing in my brain Lou, that's blasphemous language, just like these granulations and teeth, they are slowly gnawing through the protective barrier of the mind set by Holman ... "
