Chapter 8 Return to Faust
The door of the dormitory finally opened, and an uncertain voice came from inside: "Turbidity, go and bring my clothes." ”
"It's ready, Your Majesty. ”
Turbidity brought two sets of clothes, in addition to the battle uniform that he wore regularly, there was also a set of mage robes for men.
Wu Xiang glanced at the mage robe, and a purple fire immediately burned it clean. She glared at Turbidity and said coldly, "Don't do boring things next time!"
Turbidity smiled and said, "I'm just thinking about it. Also, Your Majesty, do you want to celebrate such a happy event?"
Wuding snorted and said coldly: "If you look at my current appearance, you know that I lost." Do you want to celebrate?"
"You're not invincible, what's the big deal if you lose once in a while. But I think it's not easy for you to meet someone you don't hate, and you need to celebrate. ”
Unsure was surprisingly not angry, but glanced at Faust, his expression was complicated, and finally he sighed softly.
She turned to Turbidity and said, "Let's put the celebration in advance, you can find someone to rebuild this place first." In addition, there is no need to hide the news of my defeat. ”
The last sentence of the uncertain took Turbidity Stream by surprise. But instead of arguing, he bowed and said, "As you wish, Your Majesty!"
By the meantime, Richard had teleported back to his camp at the foot of the mountain. He changed his clothes, still wearing his normal mage robes, and then led his followers and Constructed Knights to climb the Peak of Wonders.
At this moment, the plank road has long been emptied, and all the people who want to go up and down the peak stop at both ends, witnessing the historical moment of Akmund's return to Faust.
Richard stood in front of the plank road, looked up at the city of miracles behind the clouds, and suddenly sighed.
The scene when he and the demon king Mordred climbed up the plank road seemed to have happened yesterday. And now the plank road is still there, but it is no longer human. He sighed and stepped forward, stepping onto the majestic avenue.
Behind Richard, Tiramisu, Scarlet, Splash and Zonghu, the four followers of the Legendary Realm, and His Royal Highness Carlando, Mountain and Sea, walked up in turn. Then, there are the Thousand Horsemen Constructed Knights led by Orar and Gonde.
Finally standing in front of Faust's gate, Richard looked up at the head of the demon dragon Dala Moa, and stared silently. The magic dragon's eyes were shining, as if he was looking at Richard.
Richard's eyes froze, and he glanced deeply at the dragon dragon head before entering Faust.
He walked up the road, ending at the Eternal Dragon Temple. Both sides of the road were crowded with people watching the excitement.
There are no ordinary people who can live in Faust, and when people see the Thousand Horses with their own eyes, they know that the shock is not at all words can describe. Previously, some people secretly ridiculed many floating island giants for not daring to fight in the face of an Akmund. At this time, when I saw Richard's constructed iron horse, I realized that it was understandable for the giants to retreat.
And among the major floating islands, the news of the defeat of the uncertain majesty has also spread. Although no one in the royal family witnessed the big battle between Wuding and Richard, the news came from the turbidity current, so there would be no falsehood.
When the Iron Lord got the news, he just sat silent, and in just a few minutes, his hair had turned gray, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old.
The words before Bai Ye's departure still seemed to echo in his ears: "We must face reality. The reality is that Richard and his Akmund are far ahead of us. The Iron Blood Family is no longer the number one family in the Holy Alliance. ”
But until the moment before receiving the news of the indefinite defeat, the Iron Lord was still unwilling to admit it.
He is naturally a senior legend, and has cultivated outstanding juniors such as White Night and Agamemnon, and the strength of the Iron Blood Family has been growing at a steady and unwavering rate. He did this, but he still couldn't stop the Iron Blood Family from losing the throne of the number one wealthy family in his own hands.
When he reached the position of the iron-blooded Grand Duke, at this level, he was more concerned about what history would say about him.
Most of the other floating giants were stunned, and a few such as Mensah and Turan were completely panicked, but they could do nothing but wait quietly for Richard's ruling. In this respect, Richard never had a reputation for tolerance, and no great nobleman had a similar reputation.
The old Duke of Mensa, in his extreme melancholy, suddenly laughed like crazy, and the retinue and elders were extremely surprised.
The Duke of Mensa did not let them be silenced, but exclaimed, "We have Luoqi! we can find her and let her say good things for us!"
The elders suddenly realized that they were immediately much more relaxed.
Lotchy's status in Akmund has steadily climbed, and she is now one of the core figures that Richard relies on the most, and she controls the entire construction workshop. Although Luoqi had already announced that he would sever relations with Mensa, everyone was willing to believe that blood was thicker than water at the moment, and Luoqi would definitely not watch the family that was the source of his bloodline perish.
It's not just Mensa who thinks of Luoqi.
At this moment, the Duke of Turan was furious, scolded his children and elders, and then ordered them to gather all the most outstanding girls in the family, and pick out the best one to send to Richard. It's too late to emulate Mensa, but it's better to do it than not to do it.
As for old Joseph, he is now like a real old man, and he is no longer the duke with whom he could go to war with Gordon. When the news of Wuding's defeat came, he was sitting in the garden drinking tea. After reading the news, he continued to drink tea.
No matter how the giants on the floating island reacted, they were not within Richard's concern at the moment. He had walked up the long staircase of the Eternal Dragon Temple. Nolan was waiting there, and the other three archpriests behind her stood in a row, even Cissy with a respectful face. They had already heard about Richard's direct expulsion of the Chief Priest in the Millennium Empire.
If they could have been on top of it before, then this incident has clearly made them know their true status: in fact, they are dispensable.
At least in front of Richard, none of them had any qualifications for arrogance. The sheer power of Richard's accumulation of divine grace can either knock them out of the dust or make them soar into the sky.
"You're here. Nolan greeted him.
Her god is complicated, and after Richard left the Holy Alliance, her rì son was naturally not very comfortable. Fortunately, with the divine power of the head of the gods, she can still maintain her position. In addition, after being taught a hard lesson by Richard, Heath also restrained a lot, which allowed Nolan to spend this time safely.
Richard looked at Nolan and smiled and said, "I said I would definitely come back." ”
Nolan sighed lightly and said, "yes, I really didn't expect you to come back like this." ”
"That's the best way to go, isn't it?"
"The ceremony is ready, come in. Only when the sacrifice is over will you have completed this bloody journey. ”
Richard nodded and followed Nolan into the Hall of the Eternal Dragon.
In the ancient tradition of the Bloody Journey, the final step is to offer sacrifices to the dragons of eternity and time, and then invoke the grace of the gods to unseal the floating island.
However, the last time a floating island was unsealed was hundreds of years ago, when the royal family unsealed the floating island of one higher place, and then relocated. Since then, no new floating islands have been unsealed.
Whenever a new floating island magnate appeared, sacrifice simply became a ritual. Most of the giants are competing for the position of floating islands based on their strength. The last time Richard forcibly jumped to the floating island ranking by sacrificing was an exception.
Standing in front of the altar, Richard casually placed a top-notch sacrifice on the altar. It was a piece of strange metal that a certain legendary powerhouse used to exchange huàn points. Richard couldn't figure out what it was used for, but after identifying it, he knew that it was the equivalent of a top-level sacrifice, so he used it as a sacrifice.
Countless powers of time converge on this metal of unknown composition, separating it little by little into the simple power of time. However, the process of decomposition this time was much slower than that of other top sacrifices.
Richard was not in a hurry, but waited patiently. In his mind, this was nothing more than an ordinary sacrifice, the final step in completing the bloody journey. After completing this sacrifice, the bloody journey will come to a happy end.
At this moment, an incomparably magnificent and desolate feeling slowly descended.
Richard was a little surprised, how could the will of the dragon of eternity and time come again? Could it be because of this piece of metal?
In Richard's consciousness, the familiar voice of the dragon of eternity and time sounded: "You are good, you have brought sacrifices related to the mark of the end." Well, on top of the normal charisma, you'll get an extra reward. ”
Richard's heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "Can I still get the quicksand back!?"
The Dragon of Eternity and Time did not shy away from the question, saying, "It's not impossible to want her to come back." But can you be sure that this is the best ending for her?"
Richard was immediately stunned, he had never considered the problem from this point of view.
"Your life is about to leap to the next level. That's when you will find that the higher levels of existence are different things that you think about and value. The so-called happiness of the lower beings may be meaningless in the higher beings. So, can you be sure that getting the quicksand back is really good for her?"
Faced with the question of Eternity and the Dragon of Time, Richard had no idea how to answer.
He is not a higher level of life, so naturally he does not understand what kind of difference it will be when he stands on a new height. For example, the gods, and then the great lords and demon gods, what will they value and care about? Is it really the gathering of human beings? Is Richard's so-called good really meaningful to quicksand?
Richard was silent for a long time, and then continued to ask: "Then can I know Su Hailun's current condition?"
