Soldiers clean up the battlefield after the battle. The corpses of the dwarves were collected, put into the ice coffin specially prepared for them, and transported to the upper cemetery to the scholars of the ruins investigation team for dissection. However, there are not many corpse specimens that need to be used now, so after sending two complete dwarf corpses, the others are thrown into the incinerator for disposal.
This is already the eighth day since the fire lion entered the eleventh floor. It was not easy for Eligo and the soldiers for a little over a week. After they built this camp and supply line, they encountered to the onslaught of gnomes and other creatures. However, because of the detailed information provided by Allen, Eligo designed different countermeasures for the weaknesses of these creatures. Therefore, although the defense was difficult, he tried his best to keep the camp intact. Compared with the past, this was a great improvement, and Eligo even had a lot of confidence in clearing the entire maze.
Just as the soldiers threw the last dwarf's body onto the corpse truck, they heard footsteps coming from the darkness ahead, and these soldiers immediately drew out their long knives vigilantly. One of them threw a torch into the darkness, and the flame swirled into the darkness, illuminating a pair of red eyes. Only then did the soldiers see clearly that they were two human beings, a young man and a young man, but they looked surprisingly similar, and both had silver-gray hair.
The soldier who threw the torch came to his senses and quickly shouted, "Earl Allen, you are back!"
The older man nodded.
Twenty days later, Allen and Bai returned to the human resident on the eleventh floor.
When he saw the two of them in the camp, Eligo laughed, it was such a familiar scene. Just like last time, the two who returned to the camp devoured their food, and the food looked not much better than that of the refugees. But who knows, one of them is the Earl of the Empire
After filling his stomach, Allen exhaled, sat lazily on the chair and said, "There is nothing happier than being able to eat a full meal after going hungry for three to five days."
"The earl is so easy to be satisfied." Eligo said with a smile: "With your current ability, even if you go hungry for a month, it won't be a big problem, right?"
"Even so, it feels really bad to be hungry." Allen stretched his waist, sat up straight and said, "General, do you want to know what's in the cemetery on the 12th floor?"
Eric was taken aback: "Have you explored the entire eleven-story maze?"
Allen shook his head: "This level of maze is so deep and wide, it's not so easy to explore. I just went all the way and reached the exit of this level. I will draw the route I walked later for you to use when you open up the station. But I think even if it only takes up half of this labyrinth, you will be busy."
"That's true. Not only is there a large depth space here, but there are also a lot of relic creatures." Eric said with a smile: "But I still want to know what's on the next floor, so that I can prepare for future work."
Allen laughed, with a mysterious smile. But he didn't whet Eligo's appetite. He smiled and said, "The maze below will definitely surprise you. In fact, there is no maze there, but a flat and open space. Look It looks more like a magnificent underground hall, of course this hall is not prepared for beings like you and me... "
Eligo heard the meaning of his words, frowned and said, "You mean, there are giant creatures in the maze on the next level? How many are there?"
Allen raised a finger: "There is only one, that is a giant beast, a real giant beast. But it is sleeping, and we didn't wake it up. We bypassed it and found the entrance to the thirteenth floor .If you want to deal with this giant beast, I think you should fight it as a tough battle."
"There is such a thing..." Ellie squinted and said: "I am really more and more curious, who built this maze, and what is the purpose of placing these creatures in each layer of the maze? So curious."
"When you reach the finish line, all doubts will be solved." Allen said: "We should have a rest at the station today. As usual, please ask the general to prepare supplies for us. Next, we will continue to go deeper. I guess this time Take longer to leave."
"Supply is not a problem, but Earl Allen, I have to remind you to be careful." After finishing speaking, Eric left to prepare what Allen needed.
The next day, the two of them left again. Two weeks later, they appeared in front of a bronze gate, which connected the ground and the dome, and the door went deep into the ground, as if it was connected with the ground. There is a portrait on the left and right sides of the door, but the two portraits are upside down. The portraits have no obvious features, and it is impossible to tell whether they are male or female, only their legs are bent, like babies in the womb. Therefore, the two upside-down portraits showed a 69-like shape. Allen noticed that the two portraits each stretched out a hand, holding something that looked like a halberd or a gun. It seems to be a weapon, and it also seems to be some kind of power, but it doesn't matter what it is. There is a place in the center of these two things that is sunken. The sunken place is very flat and symmetrical. It doesn't look like it's damaged, but it's a place reserved for something.
Allen pushed the door hard, and it remained motionless as expected. He used up enough energy and tried a few more times, but the result was the same. This is very strange, almost all the doors in the maze from the eleventh floor to this floor can be pushed open. As long as you can pass through those complicated terrains and kill those underground creatures who don't know how long they have survived in the cemetery, the maze on each floor is almost unimpeded.
However, the exit of the labyrinth on this floor is blocked, and it seems that it cannot be opened by external force.
Destruction, the door can only be opened by following a certain method. Allen caressed the cold bronze door of the door, and he could feel something calling him inside the door, but he lacked a key to open the door, so he could only sigh outside the door. He looked at the two sunken places on the gate again, and vaguely felt that it was the key to open the gate.
"That might be the keyhole..." Allen said, "But where is the key?"
Obviously, Bai couldn't answer this question. Allen shrugged, sat down by the door and said: "Take a break, and then let's go back. Anyway, we can't find the answer here. It's better to leave it to Ellie to have a headache. I'm blunt, why don't we go Trouble with that big guy above?"
White eyes lit up: "It should look delicious."
Allen shook his head and said: "You just know how to eat, that guy..." Suddenly Allen fell silent, he jumped up and looked up into the endless darkness above the gate. After a while, he sighed and said: "It came so fast, it seems that our vacation is over."
Bai blinked, not knowing what Allen meant.
"A guest has come, and you can still feel the majestic aura from such a distance. This guest is not simple." Allen said with a wry smile.
At the same time that Allen felt an unknown power appear, in the outer space of Paradise Star, a pair of eyes saw the blue planet with a panoramic view, and the owner of the eyes sighed sincerely: "It's so beautiful, this planet It glows with a strong vitality, so obvious that even if you want to deliberately ignore it, it is difficult to do it."
A gentle voice said: "It's unbelievable that this planet is also one of the experimental sites of our ancestors. I have heard that a series of huge experimental plans were carried out in the era of the golden rose, but in the later literature it is not Not a single word. Perhaps we can find clues left by the Rose Empress on this planet."
The leader gradually retreated, and the soft light above his head fell, reflecting a square and majestic face. This majestic face is known to everyone in Idahua, because he is Orfascius, the king of justice. Next to the Great Emperor was the Duke Gulliver who was in charge of going to the Paradise Star, but was obstructed by Shaglin, and the Duke's fleet was delayed for a long time in this desolate star field.
Ofascius, who couldn't wait any longer, came to this star field in person, and by virtue of the invisible connection with Lucy, he found the exact location of the heavenly star in the vast star field.
Orfascius sighed: "Lucy once excavated the ruins left by the Rose Queen's era on this planet, and brought back information about the Golden Tree Project. But I checked the classics and documents, and there is no corresponding record. Although in the void sky fire In the 1990s, we lost a lot of documents, but I believe that the Golden Tree Project should be concealed. As for the reason, it is estimated that only the ancestors of that era knew it. But we don’t have time to pay attention to this aspect now. The Twilight Son is a hundred times more important than the empress' secret plan."
"You are very right, but Your Majesty, do you think about it again? It will be relatively gentle for me to enter the interior of the planet and contact Her Highness Lucy..."
"No need, my friend." Orfascis shook his head: "If Allen is indeed the Son of Twilight, then there is a dead knot between me and Lucy. This knot will have to be tied sooner or later. Even if I miss today, I will avoid it. But in the future. Since this is the case, it doesn’t make much difference whether I go today or not.”
Gulliver looked at the emperor, and obviously saw that the wrinkles on the forehead of the emperor had deepened a few points, and he sighed inwardly. Finally, Lucy and Lucy had a chance to resolve their old grievances. Now because of Alan, the father and daughter might have an inextricable knot.
"Duke, let the fleet organize the space defense line, and don't let any starship leave." Orfascis said in a heavy tone: "Let me go and talk to Lucy in person, and hope that the situation will not be too tense."
He turned around and strode forward, the scarlet cloak was like blood and flames, Gulliver seemed to see the raging flames of war.
It was a war between their father and daughter.
"ah!"
In the hotel of Dawn Castle, Lucy suddenly sat up in the big bed of her bedroom. Her whole body was dripping with sweat, her face was snow-white, and her heart was beating wildly. She had a dream just now. In the dream, she saw Allen standing in the flames, and the circle of flames burned around him like a barrier. But it must be a fragile barrier, because there are countless enemies outside the circle of fire.
She vaguely remembered that Alan was standing alone on the top of a certain mountain, and all around him were enemies. The enemies were everywhere, from different races. But they all have a common desire on their faces, which is to kill Allen.
Alan's expression was calm, as if aware of her presence. In the firelight, he looked at Lucy, his eyes were as gentle as before, he opened his mouth with a smile, and then rushed towards the enemies as numerous as stars.
Although she couldn't hear anything, Lucy understood what he meant.
I love you.
There are three simple words, but in that environment, it is as heavy as a mountain, making Lucy unable to breathe, and it is even more painful.
When she wanted to do something for Alan, the dream woke up.
Lucy sat on the bed, watching the sun gradually climb up on the floor, it turned out that it was already morning. She held her head, changed her clothes and was about to leave the bedroom when she saw a note by the door. It seemed that someone had slipped it in through the crack of the door. Lucy knelt down to pick up the note, and when she spread it out, her expression changed suddenly.
There is a line of words written on it: He is coming.
Which him
The handwriting is recognizable as Shaglin's.
, Lucy immediately pushed the door out and walked quickly to Shaglin's room. She opened the door roughly, but there was no one in the bedroom. With Shaglin gone, plus her message, Lucy already guessed who he was referring to.
Orfascius, her father, the just king of Idahua Star!
Lucy's heart was beating wildly, and a voice screamed in her head: here he is, and he is going to take Allen away.
"No, I won't let anyone take him away, not even my father!" Lucy yelled, suppressing the voice in her head. Her voice was so pronounced in the early morning that a few moments later Laura and Regis arrived almost at the same time.
Seeing the pale Lucy, Laura let out a soft cry, hugged her quickly and exclaimed, "God, you're so cold."
Lucy's whole body was cold, but she couldn't care about herself now: "Lola, go wake everyone up."
"Why? What happened?"
"Someone is coming, it's my father. He's here to take Alan away. I can't let him do this. Go wake everyone up and let those who are willing to help stay. Those who don't want to leave immediately..."
Before finishing speaking, a voice sounded in Lucy's mind: "No need, child. I'm already here, let them continue to sleep, I just want to talk to you."
At the same time as this voice sounded, an invisible force suddenly descended. Laura and Regis froze, and they both fell into a coma at the same time. Lucy covered her mouth with her hand, and she could feel that the hotel suddenly became extremely quiet. No matter who it is, no matter what he is doing, at this moment, under the oppression of Orfascist's power, he can't help falling asleep.
After a while, Lucy heard a knock on the door.
What should come will come after all, and Lucy calmed down at this moment. She shook her arm, and the silver bracelet slid off her wrist, and when it fell to the ground, it had already transformed into a silver spider. Lucy said to the silver spider: "Put them in the ass."
The body of the silver spider grew rapidly, and finally grew to the size of a puppy before stopping. The next thing was very easy, it spit out a silver spider web towards the unconscious Laura and Regis, wrapped them up, and then pulled them towards the bed. The spider web was extremely flexible, even if it dragged the two of them along the ground, it would not scratch them. But when needed, each thread of this spider web can also become very sharp, as long as the web is closed, the prey in the web will be cut into pieces.
Seeing the two people pull up the big bed for the silver spider, Lucy walked out, closed the door lightly, and went to the hall. As soon as she entered the hall, she saw two figures. One of them was Gulliver, and the gentle duke nodded to her. The other one is of course Orfascius, he is standing there, even if he wants to make people ignore his extraordinarily domineering figure, it is difficult to do so. He seems to be the center of the entire universe, wherever he goes, he will become the focus of attention.
Lucy stopped when she saw him: "Father."
Orfascius turned around. When he just turned around, his expression was as cold as a piece of cold iron. But when he completely faced Lucy, he softened. Looking at his favorite daughter, the emperor sighed: "I really don't want to come to you in this form, but Lucy, since Shaglin has already Come to see you, you should also know about Allen, right?"
"Teacher Shaglin did tell me a lot, including the Son of the Twilight. But the teacher also said that even if Alan is the Son of the Twilight, if he does not wake up for a day, there is no threat to the universe. This is what the teacher concealed from you The reason for the truth."
"Where is Shaglin?" Orfascis said: "She must have left. Believe me, child, our Marquis must have hidden other things, otherwise why would he not see me."
"She is not afraid of your punishment, but the teacher thinks that your intervention will make the situation worse." Lucy said: "The teacher foresaw the cosmic twilight, but she also saw that the twilight is not only the end and despair. She hopes You give Allen some time and give this universe some hope."
Ofascius shook his head and said: "First of all, you have to understand, child. I can't take it lightly because of Xia Gelin's words. I am the emperor of Idahua, and I need to be responsible for the safety of my people. Secondly, I have no intention of It's not good for Allen, at least, I didn't intend to hurt him. It's just that he has to come with me, at least, he has to stay where I can see. I promise, as long as he wakes up at the end of the day, I won't do anything to him Do what. Instead, I'll give him what he wants...everything!"
Lucy laughed: "So you don't know Alan, father. He won't go with you. He has lost a lot of things. If he loses his freedom, he would rather die! I hope you can believe me, I will stay with him and take care of him. I will not let him become a son of the evening, if he really wakes up and wants to end everything. Then I will be the first to end, and I believe Alan Wouldn't do that. I trust him..."
"I'm sorry, kid." Orfascius shook his head and said, "I can't bet my hopes on you or Shaglin. I can understand your desire to protect Allen, but I also ask you to understand my difficulties. If I Just a simple father, then I will trust you just as you trust Alan. But I am not only a father, I am also a king, and I need to be responsible for more lives."
Lucy nodded and laughed: "Yeah, I even forgot that you are the king of justice. You only have one scale in your heart, and you need to weigh everything on the scale, don't you? Your Majesty Orfascius! "
Orfascius sighed, and said softly: "Tell me, kid, where is Allen?"
