The massacre was over. Two-thirds of Lava City's 200,000-strong army had been lost, with only tens of thousands of people escaping. As for the notorious Blazing Legion, their entire army was wiped out and they were completely removed from the Black Sun Empire. It is worth mentioning that Ash City only lost more than a thousand people in the first battle. This loss was almost negligible compared with the results gained.
The reversal of Ash City's desperate situation in this battle can be called a miracle, but the soldiers of Ash City who participated in the battle knew that this miracle did not belong to them, but was created by a man named Long. If it hadn't been for this man named Long, let alone achieving such brilliant results, their lives would have been decided here.
Dragon, this name is sung in the mouth of every soldier from Ashes City. No one regards him as a slave anymore, and no one dares to mention Long's slave status anymore. Including Mrs. Nightingale, after this battle, Xia Lei was no longer her slave in her heart. She didn't even dare to imagine that she could have such a slave.
Under the dim sky, thousands of bonfires were lit in the blood crystal mining area. The soldiers from Ash City sang, danced and drank around the bonfire, and the most common ones in the mining area were drunkards.
"Give me wine!" Young Master Xue Yue, who was tied to a wooden pole next to a bonfire, cursed, "Damn it, didn't you idiots hear that?"
No one paid any attention to him.
"Don't you dare kill me! I am the young city lord of Lava City, and I am the baron of the Black Sun Empire. You can't kill the nobles! Otherwise, the nine tribes will be implicated! Let me go! Let me go!" Young Master Xueyue's arrogance became more and more intense. Getting more and more arrogant.
Killing a noble is a serious crime in the Black Sun Empire, and all relatives will be implicated. In the Black Sun Empire, cities fought against each other, and the winning side usually did not kill nobles. This law, coupled with this unwritten rule similar to "the king does not kill the king", has now become the life-saving support of Young Master Xueyue, and has also become the capital of his arrogance.
That's true. The dragon who had killed so many people didn't kill him, and the victorious Lady Nightingale didn't kill him either. Wasn't this because they didn't dare to kill him
This is the understanding of Young Master Xue Yue who "survived the catastrophe".
There is a building next to the bonfire, which is the building of this blood crystal mine. In a room of this building, Xia Lei, who was looking at a pile of blood crystals with Mrs. Nightingale, frowned, "Don't you want to kill him?"
Shenyue Ruyi handed over Young Master Xueyue to him. He thought he had killed Dirty Hands, so he handed over Young Master Xueyue to Mrs. Nightingale. But he was definitely not what Shenyue Ruyi said. He used Young Master Blood Moon in exchange for the opportunity to sleep with Madam Nightingale. He also felt that it would be better to leave Young Master Blood Moon to Madam Nightingale. After all, if he takes all the limelight, Lady Nightingale's prestige in the hearts of the soldiers in Ash City will also be damaged.
However, Madam Nightingale tied Young Master Xueyue to a wooden post, and only then did those noisy sounds come into being.
Mrs. Nightingale was silent for a moment before saying: "I want to kill him. I want to kill him more than anyone else, but..."
Xia Lei said: "Does the Black Sun Empire really have such regulations? Nobles cannot be killed."
Mrs. Nightingale nodded.
Xia Lei looked at her almost transparent face, "But have you ever thought about what he would do to you if I didn't arrive in time and it was you who was caught?"
Mrs. Nightingale was stunned for a moment, but did not speak. It is not difficult to see from her eyes that she does have deep concerns.
"Are you not a noble?" Xia Lei seemed to have seen through her thoughts, "So he can kill you, even the Long Night can kill you, but you can't kill them, right?"
Mrs. Nightingale nodded, "I come from a remote place, and my parents are just common people."
Xia Lei said: "You can't do this. I know the situation of Lord Guye. He doesn't have much time. Once he leaves this world, you will be responsible for everything in Ashes City and Lord Guye's wish. If you continue to You don’t even dare to kill nobles like Young Master Xueyue, how can you afford all this?”
"I..." Mrs. Nightingale hesitated.
She is stronger than most women, and she also has upright qualities, but after all, she is a commoner, and she is still a woman.
Xia Lei said calmly: "The vitality of Lava City has been severely damaged, and you have also taken control of this blood crystal mine. What awaits you and Ash City will be an unprecedented development opportunity. If you have the courage and courage to kill a small nobleman in a row, You don’t even have the courage. In the future, nobles with higher titles will come to seize the interests of Ashes City and harm you, but you won’t have the courage to resist?”
Mrs. Nightingale's eyes fell on the curved sword on the table. She seemed to want to pick up the sword and take that step, but she seemed a little hesitant.
A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Xia Lei's mouth, "Don't you still have me? Kill, if you have something to do later, I will take care of it for you."
Mrs. Nightingale took a deep look at Xia Lei, suddenly grabbed the curved sword on the table, and walked out of the building.
Xia Lei followed her out. Killing Young Master Xue Yue was as boring to him as trampling on an ant, but it was another matter for Mrs. Nightingale to kill Young Master Xue Yue. He actually knew the pressure she was facing very well. Therefore, he wanted to see how this woman from a humble background could bravely take that step and strike out with a sword of resistance against the unfair code of the Black Sun Empire!
"Let me go! Let me go! You lowly commoners, in my eyes, you are no different from slaves!" Young Master Xueyue was still shouting, "I tell you, my father, Earl of Blood City, has a royal family in the imperial capital of Doomsday City. relationship, if you dare to kill me, I guarantee you that the entire Ashes City will be razed to the ground! You will die, and all your relatives and friends will die!"
Madam Nightingale strode towards Mr. Blood Moon, her eyes were cold and her steps were firm.
Young Master Xueyue saw Mrs. Nightingale and sneered, "If you don't dare to kill me, let me go. Maybe I will spare you regardless of the past grudges."
Then, he suddenly saw Xia Lei, who had just walked out of the building. His face instantly turned gray, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.
Madam Nightingale stopped in front of Mr. Blood Moon.
"Let me go. I won't compete with you for this blood crystal mine. I swear to you, I won't retaliate." Young Master Xueyue suddenly became obedient, but in his heart he secretly said: "Damn, wait. When I go back, I will definitely borrow troops from elsewhere and hire more mercenaries to completely destroy Ashes City! I will tie you, a despicable woman, to the square and let ten thousand men line up to humiliate you!"
Mrs. Nightingale looked back at Xia Lei.
Xia Lei nodded towards Mrs. Nightingale.
Madam Nightingale suddenly raised her hand and stabbed Young Master Xueyue's heart with a sword.
Poof!
Black blood splattered, and Young Master Xueyue looked at the sword pierced into his heart in horror. He opened his mouth wide, "You... how dare you... kill... me..."
Mrs. Nightingale twisted her right wrist, and Young Master Xueyue's heart was immediately crushed into pieces.
Young Master Xueyue's head hung down, his eyes full of unwillingness and anger. But all his emotions had lost their meaning, and he was dead.
Beside the bonfire, everyone's eyes were focused on Mrs. Nightingale.
"Mrs. Nightingale!" Someone yelled.
"Mrs. Nightingale! Mrs. Nightingale! Mrs. Nightingale!" There was a roar in the square, and the crowd was excited.
Madam Nightingale took out her long sword from the body of Mr. Blood Moon. At this moment, she seemed to have put down some heavy burden, and her whole body felt relaxed and comfortable. She turned to look at Xia Lei again, but Xia Lei, who was there just now, was gone.
"Dragon?" Mrs. Nightingale turned around, but still didn't see Xia Lei.
"Mrs. Nightingale! Mrs. Nightingale! Mrs. Nightingale!" The cheers and roars spread to the entire square. One hundred thousand soldiers shouted her name, and the sound was as spectacular as the ocean tide.
But Mrs. Nightingale seemed not to hear these sounds, and her heart felt empty and a little more anxious.
The dragon is gone.
Will he come back
She couldn't help herself thinking about this problem.
In the corner of the square, Xia Lei looked away from Mrs. Nightingale. He threw up a piece of top-quality blood crystal ore in his hand, then caught it and turned around to leave.
A blue figure quietly appeared behind him and followed him.
"Shenyue, how much do you know about blood crystals?" Xia Lei did not look back, but he knew that Shenyue Ruyi was behind him.
Shenyue Ruyi said: "I spend most of my time on the Blue Moon, and I don't know much about the blood crystal ore controlled by the Night Watch, but I know that the Night Watch's civilization is built on it, just like Ah The civilization of the Himis people was developed based on spiritual stones."
Xia Lei glanced at the top-quality blood crystal in his hand and said, "I do understand a little bit. The energy it contains is a kind of life energy."
"Energy of life?" Shenyue Ruyi was a little surprised, "How is this possible?"
"I have the ability to analyze the composition of energy. This is the result of my analysis and my understanding." Xia Lei said slowly: "I suspect that the dark world of death can breed so many and powerful lives, and it has everything to do with it. I also suspect that when the Ancient Spirit tribe entered the dark world of death, they were looking for blood crystals, and the mystery they wanted to solve was also the mystery of blood crystals."
Shenyue Ruyi said nothing, seeming to be thinking about Xia Lei's words.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, and now I'm here to ask you." Xia Lei stopped and turned around, looking at Shenyue Ruyi's pair of exaggeratedly large two-dimensional beautiful eyes, "I always thought you had a certain commitment to that mission. What do you know about that fragment? Where is it?"
Shenyue Ruyi did not avoid Xia Lei's gaze, nor did she hesitate at all, "I don't know, maybe..."
"Maybe what?"
"Have you ever considered that maybe there aren't any fragments at all?"
Xia Lei was stunned on the spot.
There is no such fragment
He had never thought about this question.
Without that fragment, wouldn't everything he did, everything he experienced, and everything he fought for lose its meaning
If there was no such fragment, then why did Origin City and the big hand behind Origin City use the fate of the two worlds to force him to enter the world of death to find the fragment
This is impossible!
"I'm just assuming." Shenyue Ruyi said.
Xia Lei came back to his senses and smiled inexplicably, "There is no such hypothesis at all. Forget it, just pretend that I didn't ask you. Let's go back and hope that Amido can find someone again from that signal transmitter. Clues to value.”
Even though he said that, Shenyue Ruyi's assumption had already affected him.
On the way back, he didn't say another word.
Shenyue Ruyi was silent all the way and did not make any sound.
