There is a staircase next to the platform, where Ruan Chi walked down, and came to the gate of the ancient city very smoothly. There is a stone monument on the right hand side of the city gate, and Ruan Chi is standing in front of the stone monument at this time.

Ruan Chi didn't know any of the words on it, but the eldest sister of the system helped translate it very lightly.

"Commoners who enter the royal city are required to pay 5 copper coins, and merchants are charged 1% of the value of the goods, and nobles with titles are not required to pay tax......"

After reading this, Ruan Chi couldn't help but sigh, "This place is still a royal city?" ”

Although the gate of the ancient city is closed, it is not difficult for Ruan Chi to enter, because this ancient city seems to have a very long time, not to mention the dilapidated city walls, the water of the moat has long dried up, Ruan Chi can jump down and walk into the city.

Standing on the streets of this ancient city, Ruan Chi could clearly feel a strong atmosphere of vicissitudes and simplicity, with many collapsed houses on both sides, and many dry bones being pressed underneath.

As you can imagine, it was once prosperous, but it only became this scene after a certain war.

At this time, Ruan Chi walked along the street all the way to the center of the royal city, because he had just discovered that there was an extremely magnificent castle in the center of this royal city, which was completely different from the low bungalows around it.

Ruan Chi guessed that it might be Marston's lair.

Because of the destruction of the dark core, it is basically impossible for Ruan Chi to encounter the undead army along the way, but there are occasionally piles of white bones on the ground, and Ruan Chi guesses that this is the undead army lost the essence and blood power provided by the dark core, and turned into real white bones and fell here.

Passing through alley after alley, Nguyen Chi was the first to step into a stone-paved avenue where ten carriages walked side by side, and at the end of the road, the castle was ahead.

When you come to the castle, a huge arch appears in front of you, a palace-like building, the eaves are falling, the glass is formed, and a platform is built next to it, which looks extraordinary.

Passing through this archway, there is a large square below the castle, and a stone staircase that leads to the main entrance of the castle.

Ruan Chi was about to climb the stairs, but at this moment, an abrupt horn suddenly came from the castle. Ruan Chi was startled, and drew the Blood Shadow Sword and shield to prepare for battle.

But what happened next, Rao is a master of art and bold, and he didn't know how to react.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The abrupt sound of the horn was long and shocking, accompanied by a neat sound of iron hooves, and almost without warning, a group of silver-armored knights appeared out of thin air in the square where Ruan Chi was standing.

Ruan Chi didn't attack immediately, because these silver-armored knights didn't have any names on their heads, and their bodies were translucent and not corporeal.

"Is this a ghost? No, it doesn't seem to be a ghost......" After calming down a little, Ruan Chi took a closer look and found that they were definitely not ghosts, but similar to the illusion laid by the fox prince of Mu Xiuke, it was a fictitious image.

Allowing these silver-armored knights to pass through his body, Ruan Chi was like a bystander, watching a grand military parade from the side.

That's right, they are indeed on a military parade.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The horn sounded again, and a group of silver-armored knights slowly walked in from the direction of the arch, and on the platform next to the arch, stood a tall gold-armored knight, he was the commander, holding a sharp sword in front of his chest, like an invincible general.

When all the knights in silver armor entered the square, the knight in gold armor on the platform jumped down from above, he took off the red helmet on his head, and slowly walked to the stone steps under the castle.

Ruan Chi happened to be standing next to the general, and found that this person's face was unusually young, but those eyes full of vicissitudes could see that this person was by no means immature on the surface.

Ruan Chi followed the general up the stairs slowly, and soon came to the top of the castle, where a group of civil officials dressed in various costumes had been waiting for a long time.

Among these people, there is also an old man with gray hair wearing a crown on his head, needless to say, this old man should be the king of this country.

When the general came to the old man, his eyes full of vicissitudes of life turned slightly, but he looked at a beautiful woman about ten years old next to the old man.

This woman's facial features are exquisitely carved and jade, her waist is slender, her figure is slender, and she has long purple hair, Ruan Chi thought she was the daughter of the old king at first, but when she looked closely, she saw that this woman was wearing a phoenix crown and wearing the queen's clothes.

", this general is still eye-catching with other people's wives?" Ruan Chi happened to capture the scene of the general's eye contact with the queen, and couldn't help but look at the old king with sympathy, as if he saw the crown on someone's head turn green.

Although it was only a brief eye contact, even the blind could see that the general had an ulterior secret with the young queen.

After a hurried glance, the general half-crouched down to salute the old king, although there was still a passionate horn sound in his ears, but the general's voice Ruan Chi could not hear it at all.

It seems that this grand ancient image only captures part of the sound.

This scene in front of Ruan Chi reminded him of reading some books when he was in the real world, and people often saw strange things, such as seeing officers and soldiers in ancient costumes fighting in the sky, and some images of distant times when thunder hit.

The book explains that this is an image or reproductive information recorded by nature when certain conditions are met, and when the conditions are suitable, it will be played back again, similar to the function of a video recorder.

"Could it be that these images in front of you are what happened in this country back then?"

Ruan Chizheng sighed, the sound of the horn suddenly turned, and it became loud, and the image in front of him changed in vain, turning into the Shura battlefield.

Standing in front of the castle, Ruan Chi saw soldiers of various races fighting here, including humans, elves, orcs, and those silver-armored knights just now.

There are also fire-breathing dragons, roaring dwarven airships, and siege slings that throw huge stones and fall on the city walls with earth-shattering sounds. They fought bloodily, their expressions were hideous, and they fought together, and they were red-eyed with each other.

He had never seen such a grand war scene, and Ruan Chi was a little stunned for a while.

Suddenly, a golden figure rushed up from below, just passing by Ruan Chi's side, Ruan Chi looked back, it was the golden armor general, but at this time, his hair was unkempt, covered in blood, and he was missing a left arm, and his eyes were no longer as cold as before.

Looking at his back as he rushed in the direction of the castle, Ruan Chi's heart moved, and he followed with curiosity.

Walking through the long aisle, Ruan Chi came to a splendid palace hall, which was full of corpses, guards and palace maids.

At the end of the hall, the old king was killed on the throne, and the young queen was weeping bitterly over the old king's body.

General Jin Jia silently came to the queen, his eyes full of tenderness.
