Chapter 99 The Proposition of War
The knights in costume knew King Hulan, and they were quite polite to him, and immediately replied: "This man sneaked into the palace and wanted to assassinate His Highness Richard, but His Highness was killed on the spot. Now, as His Highness has commanded, we will hang his body at the gate of the palace before the public. Hmph, just a legend, and he also wants to assassinate His Highness? There is more than one true god who died in the hands of His Highness, let alone a little legend?"
The king was stunned again, and he realized that the knights in costume did not address His Highness Richard not to his title and patriarchship, but to respect and submit to his power.
Watching Long Xing's body being carried away, the king still had a very unreal feeling, as if in a dream.
The legendary powerhouse who was once supreme in the old Hulan period, the god of the entire Hulan, actually turned into a corpse like this, and was dragged away by a few people like garbage?
It wasn't until the knights had gone far away that a cold wind blew, and the king shivered, and then came to his senses. He hurried to Richard's residence, only to be told that Richard had already entered the magical room and was not to be disturbed unless he had anything special.
The king waited until dawn, but did not see Richard come out of the room, so he had to go back in a huff.
It was three days before Richard walked out of the magical chamber.
Semir was half-lying in a rocking chair, waiting for him to come out. She walked around the royal city with the Constructed Knight, and then returned. Leaving the royal city, it was just a show, to let Long Xing know that she was gone. Otherwise, Long Xing really might not dare to show up. At that time, although Richard was sure to catch him, it would have taken a lot more effort.
Seeing Sema, Richard nodded to her and said, "Go clean up, let's go to Lina's grave and have a look." ”
Semir nodded and walked away with Richard.
At dusk, Richard and Semir stood in front of Lina's tombstone.
The place where the dragon mage sleeps is still as beautiful as ever. Richard squatted down in front of the tombstone, brushed off a thin layer of dust with his hands, then took out a magic box, opened it, took out a star-shaped badge from it, and gently placed it in front of the tombstone.
The badge zhongyāng has a distorted face that looks full of pain. It was Long Xing's face, and he was able to slowly change his expression.
Seeing this badge, Semir raised his eyebrows and was slightly surprised. Because the badge is just its appearance, it's actually a build, a very powerful build. All the constructs that seal the souls of the legendary powerhouses are the constructs of the Holy Order.
"Lina, Long Xing is dead. Now I have made his soul into a magical soul and sealed it in this weeping hell, so that he will suffer forever. Rest well, and I'll come back to see you when I have time. ”
With that, Richard turned and left.
Semir glanced at Lina's tombstone and the badge-like artifact, waved his hand, said goodbye to Lina, and left with Richard.
Richard did not leave Hulan immediately, but said to Sema: "You go back to the royal city and wait for me first, and I will go to the God's Nest to have a look, and stay alone for a while by the way." ”
Semir nodded, waved his hand to Richard, and left with his long sword, his unruly back looking a little lonely.
Richard was also a man, climbing all the way up the winding road of Mount Kinabalu. Step by step, he walked at a constant pace, neither in a hurry nor in slack, like the most sophisticated alchemy machine, he climbed to the top of the sacred mountain and walked towards the divine nest.
After a change of space, Richard stood in front of the ancient battlefield again.
Not a single qiē has changed, as if the last time I stood here was a minute ago. The wreckage of a giant ship slowly floated in the void, and countless broken parts floated around the hull, silently supporting the devastating attacks that had taken place.
Richard tried to stretch out his hand, but as soon as he crossed the invisible line, wisps of black gas swirled in the void. He immediately withdrew his hand, not letting the black qi get entangled. When Richard's hand was withdrawn, the black qi was gone.
Now Richard's eyesight is naturally different from back then, and he can see that the space on the ancient battlefield is actually extremely fragile, and even Richard's hand is stretched in, such a simple action, the spatial structure can't withstand it.
Those black qi are the spatial rifts that naturally arise, and if Richard doesn't stop, they will be swallowed up by the broken space. And there is also a strange sustaining power in the air, which can repair the broken spatial structure.
As a result, this extremely fragile, yet self-repairing space becomes a dangerous trap area. Even if the legendary powerhouse does not want to break in, he will be buried here.
Although Richard has the power of the Space Lord, he is not sure that he can break through this airspace safely, maybe when he thoroughly analyzes the rules of the God's Lair, he can really enter this ancient battlefield. Just from what he saw, Richard knew that even a rusty metal plate contained knowledge could be invaluable.
But this time back to the Nest, Richard didn't come to explore the secret. Just like what he and Semir said, he just wanted to sit quietly for a while facing this magnificent and desolate ancient battlefield that made people feel terrified.
In front of Richard, it was completely ruined.
No matter how terrifying the power of the two sides of the war is, and how many glorious civilizations they have created, they have all been ruined in the war. All life, soul, and glorious deeds have been reduced to pieces of cold metal wreckage, which will forever drift in this battleship graveyard.
After so many dimensional wars and countless defeats of opponents, the once formidable enemies of the past can only tremble in front of the armies of Akmund, and even if Gordon is resurrected, it will not be better than Richard is doing now.
The surviving Thirteen Knights are now surpassed by Richard's followers one by one.
But at this moment, questions arose in Richard's mind.
Wars, so many wars, and for what?
Just as a powerful opponent was defeated by himself, Richard knew that one day, he too would fall and become a stepping stone for another strong man to reach the top.
In the end, will all wars be like the graveyard of battleships in front of us, returning to eternal silence?
Those metal giants built with incredible strength, each of them may have the ability to destroy the plane, but even if the power is so strong, what can it be?
White Night once said that the plane war is a helpless gamble, and everyone in the game has to bet their all, otherwise they will become a victim of other players.
Richard also saw from the sub-planes that if Norland did not expand externally on a large scale, he would have become a vassal of a powerful plane, or even a slave, just like these sub-planes.
Could this be the eternal destiny?
Richard sat for a long time, and thought for a long time. This question had been bothering him for a long time, and now it had reappeared. However, before and after, the height at which he stood was completely different, and the angle of his thinking was completely different.
Richard didn't intend to think about it forever, because he knew that there could be no answer to the question. Maybe even the dragon of eternity and time can't answer it.
At the edge of Richard's field of vision, a broken battleship slowly appeared, flying off the battlefield.
In ancient battlefields, this was the case, where things often appeared, and things disappeared from time to time. This battleship is not large, and compared to the wreckage of the giant ships, they are some auxiliary ships. But the moment he saw it, Richard stood up and exclaimed!
He had seen this battleship before!
Richard suddenly felt a great sense of horror, this kind of love had not happened to him for a long time. He was so frightened that he even lost even the slightest composure, desperately searching his memory to find out where he had memories of this strange battleship.
Richard suddenly reached into his arms, took out the last sigil, and looked at the metal that changed wildly in shape, and the blood on his face instantly faded.
The sigil represents the Reaper, and Richard knew they were very powerful, but it was unclear how powerful they were. There are not many records of the Reaper, and all the planes that have actually faced the Reaper have been completely ruined.
Richard knew that sooner or later he would have to face the Reapers, but he still had some illusions in his heart, thinking that the Reapers, perhaps not as powerful as the legend suggests. Moreover, Richard had also prepared in advance, he had tied a large number of legendary powerhouses to his chariot with the huge benefits of the dragon plane, and he originally thought that he might have a chance to defeat the Reapers.
But now, a Reaper's warship appeared in front of him! Looking at this battleship hundreds of meters long, Richard only felt a chill all over his body.
The metal in the last sigil once conjured up such a battleship. A single battleship may not be enough, but it can change more than one battleship, and all those strange and terrifying war machines will appear one by one?
Richard couldn't figure out what kind of war force was represented behind these metal giants, but he knew that they were almost invincible.
Richard gradually calmed down, put away the last sigil, glanced at the battlefield again, and turned to leave the nest.
The Reaper is indeed powerful, incredibly powerful. But war always has to be fought, and since this battle is inevitable, why bother thinking so much?
It's useless to think about it.
In the city of King Hulan, Semir keenly noticed that Richard's face was not very good-looking. She thought that Richard was still thinking about Lina, and she also missed Master Dragon, so she didn't know how to comfort Richard, so she just waited quietly by Richard's side.
Richard didn't stop long, and left Hulan with Semir and the team of costumed knights used to fill the scene.
Back in Norland, Richard contacted Nolan as soon as possible. The Grand Priest of the Eternal Dragon Temple is now close to being able to control the Eternal Dragon Hall of the Holy Alliance, and she is also one of Richard's most important partners.
When Nolan's image appeared, Richard, who was pacing back and forth in front of the communication circle, said, "Nolan, I need a lot of equipment! From now on, all our workshops will no longer be supplied to the outside world, and all the equipment produced will be given to me." ”
ps: As of today, this month's double watch has lasted for a week!
Recently, the air quality in many places has been bad, so everyone should take care of their health and minimize outdoor activities.
I saw a message on Weibo, saying that the title of the ninth volume was alternate. But I think that words are just tools, and it doesn't matter whether they are gorgeous or straightforward or simple, and what can express my feelings at that moment is the most suitable text.
Just like the urban article "Beauty Please Stay" on this site, this name is vulgar? No, no, it just appropriately reveals the YD Benxing of the author Lao Shi. If you are looking for a book to read, you can flip through it. There's a quote in it that I really like. Therefore, when we are alive, we should let ourselves not regret it, because if we do not regret it, we will not be reluctant. ”
