In the center of the square, there was an altar, the top of which had been lifted up and broken into seven or eight pieces scattered on the ground. Flesh tentacles stretched out from the altar, wrapping around four or five priests in red robes and dragging them to the altar.
The priests were able to struggle at first, but soon, their clothes and their bodies gradually merged into the tentacles.
However, in the blink of an eye, the bodies of the priests had been integrated into the tentacles, making the tentacles even thicker. Now only the heads and limbs of the priests were still outside, but they were no longer able to resist or struggle.
They could only watch as their remaining limbs melted like candles thrown into a fire, their flesh and blood dissolved, and then merged with the tentacles.
Their heads gradually sank into the tentacles, and finally a face remained on the surface of the tentacles. On that face, the eyes and nostrils melted away, the teeth fell out, and finally only a mouth that looked like a hole remained.
There were still many priests praying around the square, seemingly trying to appease the tentacles, but after melting the previous priests, the tentacles reached out to other priests.
At this time, a petite figure ran into the square. It was a girl of fifteen or sixteen, only about 1.5 meters tall. She had long, smooth dark purple hair, sweet features, and a pair of deep purple eyes that were like two gems, mysterious and noble.
She ran into the square in a high-necked dress and shouted in the direction of the altar, "Go to sleep! Go to sleep, Lord Midnight, please go to sleep."
After shouting, the girl began to hum a soft tune. As her ethereal voice floated across the square, the flesh and blood tentacles sticking out from under the altar gradually became quiet.
A moment later, they slid into the altar and disappeared into an unfathomable dark tunnel under the altar.
At this moment, the girl seemed to have lost all her strength and suddenly sat down on the ground.
She stared at the altar blankly, her eyes confused: "Master Ziye, what's wrong with you..."
A man in a purple robe saw all of this. He walked away quickly and walked into a palace a moment later.
At the end of the palace, there was a magnificent throne with a phoenix pattern carved on the high back of the throne, and countless flying birds around the throne.
The man in purple came to the throne and knelt down. He raised his head slightly, his eyes falling on a snow-white thigh that was exposed from the skirt and then on the ankle. He did not dare to look up anymore.
"Your Majesty, Lord Ziye has calmed down." The purple robed man smiled bitterly, "But recently, Lord Ziye has become more and more irritable. We have offered sacrifices, but still cannot pacify him."
"Tonight, it was Miss Xia You who sang the 'Requiem' to calm Lord Ziye down..."
"If this continues, I'm worried that Master Ziye will lose control. If Miss Xia You can't comfort him, then..."
Having said that, the man in purple robe didn't dare to say any more and could only bury his head deeply in the ground.
A moment later, he heard a very magnetic and seductive voice from the throne: "Before my ancestors built Twilight Castle, we were just a group of women who were bought and sold at will, without any dignity at all."
"We are a tribe of wandering girls, with no fixed place to live. Because of our beauty, we have brought countless disasters upon ourselves. We have beautiful skins but no power to protect them. When we are at our most miserable, we are even
We were imprisoned and used as breeding machines, because our offspring, both male and female, were all handsome and incomparable. "
"We became commodities, goods. Until our ancestors found Lord Midnight by the Dark River. Under Lord Midnight's protection, our Younu tribe was able to build Twilight Castle and gain the power to protect ourselves. This ended the tragic fate of our tribe."
"So no matter what, we cannot let Lord Ziye lose control. As the new chief priest, you must find a way to appease Lord Ziye, even if you die."
At this moment, the man in purple robe saw the queen sitting down on the throne. He saw the noble queen lift her flawless long legs and then step heavily on his head with her feet.
The high priest's face was pressed against the ground. He could not see anything. All he could hear was the voice of the Queen of Twilight Castle: "If you can't do it, you'd better prepare to feed Lord Midnight!"
The chief priest was so frightened that his whole body trembled.
... ... ...
More than two months passed in the blink of an eye.
It's the end of another year.
However, in the desert, the temperature changes are not obvious, so when Tianyang opened the window, he could still feel the power of the sun.
The Sunfort remains scorching hot during the day, but the temperature drops sharply at night. However, this is not difficult to overcome for the residents of the fortress.
Standing at the window, Tianyang looked out and could see that there were obvious changes in Lieyang Castle.
For one, there are a lot more high-rise buildings, and several neighborhoods are being renovated.
The changes in Fiery Sun Castle are not limited to this.
The opening and establishment of the desert trade route allowed the rare minerals originally located in the Tarichvia Desert to be transported out of the desert continuously and travel between the fortresses, which promoted the circulation of other commodities and benefited several fortresses including the Fiery Sun Fort.
The economic prosperity brought more job opportunities. The large number of jobs solved the problem of food and clothing for the residents of the fortress and the refugees in nearby settlements.
With the food and clothing problem solved, the public security in Lieyang Fort and even the surrounding wilderness has been significantly improved. Moreover, under the high pressure of Lieyang Fort, some organizations or forces that originally wanted to return to their old business have now obediently changed their development direction, changing the image of the former waste collection city as a paradise for criminals.
Basically, the development of Lieyang Castle is now on track and all affairs are proceeding step by step.
And not long ago, a preliminary cooperation plan was established with Silver Dragon Fortress, and in the coming new year, the two fortresses plan to establish a relatively safe trade route.
This plan has been supported by the War God Castle, and Huo Hanshan has expressed his willingness to contribute money and effort. Of course, the War God Castle is not a sucker, they are willing to support it because they see the value of this trade route, and at the same time, they use Tianyang to contact the Silver Dragon Castle to expand new development channels.
In addition, there has been new progress in the exploration of the opposite world.
After the castle was built, Fiery Sun Castle opened the Krafu Gate to outsiders. A large number of gold diggers and exploration groups poured in, which not only brought a considerable income to Fiery Sun Castle, but also accelerated the exploration of the opposite world behind the gate.
Originally, the Thunder Council had only explored the area of several hundred square kilometers behind the gate. After two months, this "map" had at least doubled in size, and last week, an exploration team led by Councillor Ruden discovered the Star Marrow Pillar.
but
At that time, there was a large-scale illegal activity near the Star Marrow Pillar, so Ruden did not hastily retrieve it.
After receiving the news, Tianyang took Chiying into the Reverse Realm, and Chiying killed the super-large black creature named "Dark Destroyer" and successfully recovered the Star Marrow Pillar.
Prior to this, Tianyang continued the tradition of the Night Walkers and allowed ordinary warriors who participated in the recycling to come into contact with the Star Marrow Pillar. As a result, four people were lucky enough to awaken and become Ascendants.
By recycling the various things discovered by the explorers from the Reverse World and interpreting the remains of the Black People, Tianyang gained a deeper understanding of this Reverse World that no longer has a number.
And it is believed that a huge dark dynasty once existed in this world long ago.
Therefore, even though that dynasty has collapsed, the black people in the opposite world are still strictly divided into classes.
It’s a pity that Tianyang couldn’t spare the time, otherwise he would have wanted to take Chiying to explore the capital of the Nijie that they discovered when they were dealing with Qiongwu that day.
Perhaps more history and secrets of the Dark Empire can be unearthed in that capital.
In addition, Tianyang used a communicator to send what he knew, including a message from the Dusk Slate, to Yin Meng, who was far away in the Cardinal Court of East Land, and she passed it on to Guan Feng, who had become the archbishop.
The reason why he did not contact Guan Feng directly, but passed the information to Yin Meng and then passed it on through her, was because Tian Yang wanted to use this opportunity to emphasize Yin Meng's importance and make her gain importance in the Cardinals' Court.
And through this action, he tied Yin Meng to himself more firmly.
After receiving the information on the stone tablet, Guan Feng conveyed the message through Yinmeng that he wanted to invite Tianyang to meet him at the East Land Cardinal Court. Tianyang promised to keep the appointment as long as he had time, but did not give an exact time.
He just vaguely stated that he still had more information on the stone tablets and hoped that Lieyang Castle could gain the support of the Church of War.
At present, there is no news from Guan Feng, but Tianyang believes that the archbishop knows what to do.
"Dad, dad."
Xitong's voice came from outside the door at this time, and the little thing ran in. Tianyang kept her by his side during this time to prevent her from being attacked by the evil spirit.
Moreover, Tianyang found a teacher for her and Hongxiu to teach them relevant knowledge.
The little girl ran into the room and put a communicator in Tianyang's hand: "This thing has been ringing non-stop just now, so I brought it to you."
Tian Yang laughed and said, "Thank you."
After rubbing Xitong's little head, Tianyang took the communicator and the screen indicated that a text message had been received.
Tianyang opened it and found out it was from Qin Wangshu, the president of the 'Golden Mint' Chamber of Commerce, inviting Tianyang to go to the Jade Castle in Zhonglu. Their Chamber of Commerce was preparing to enter the Reverse Realm again to explore the dangerous ruins discovered that day.
"Emerald Castle... Church of the God of Nature... The Ultimate's Notes..."
Some memories that Tianyang had almost forgotten suddenly became clear, and he immediately replied, saying that he would set off for Zhonglu in the next few days.
After sending this message, Tian Yang murmured, "I don't know if the war in Zhonglu is over. Hei Tong went to Zhonglu. Well, I can find Ye Xing to find out the situation."
