(I came back from Guangzhou, and I have not stopped updating for so many days at the annual meeting! You think this is a great merit! In addition, after being illuminated by the brilliance of the great god, I feel that I have no sorrow, no joy, and my heart is like water. I will update and work hard in the future. Finally, I will Another: I recognize many names at the annual meeting, but none of them match. Being face-blind is really stressful.)
While waiting for Qianqian to come back, Bingtis and I were there to study what happened in this world back then.
Bingtis put the banned books she "passed" yesterday and the church books she just bought in the fortress on the table, summarizing the information there with a very serious expression: "According to what we just heard , now at least four people can be determined to be the core of the incident: Sonia of the Dragon Clan, Pope Edwinsa of the Human Race, the Maharaja of the Dark Moon on the moon, and a mysterious person called "Blood Princess". Among them, Sonia is the The oldest dragon on the planet, and it is also the ruler of the dragon clan, but the situation of the dragon clan doesn’t look good, according to the little girl of the dragon clan, it seems that the dragons in this world have already existed in name only—we will study this matter later.”
"The second key guy is the old pope. The dragon girl called him Edwinsa, but the name of the pope I found out from other sources is not this. Obviously, the pope is not using his real name now. The concubine is I found the four words Edwinsa elsewhere," Bingtis said, and opened the Goddess Bible that she had roughly read, and pointed to one of the pages to show me, " This is the name of the pope during the first Dark Moon War: Edwinsa? The Goddess records that the pope lived for two hundred years—probably later the old man felt that if he lived any longer, he would be regarded as a living god and steal the limelight from the goddess, so he finally made up his mind to hang up on the 100th anniversary of the exile of the dark moon people. Dropped. Every subsequent pope has a different name, and of course the image should be different, but now it seems that each of them is Edwinsa—an ancient person who has been reincarnated dozens of times."
I thought about it for a while and always felt that there was something wrong with this method of reincarnation, and finally found a bug: "Hey, do you think he doesn't need time for reincarnation? He died and hasn't been born, or he hasn't grown up after he was born. What about time?"
Bingtis glanced at me dissatisfied: "You ask me, who should I ask? Anyway, he must have a way, either prepare the reincarnated body before death, or arrange someone to take over temporarily during the gap period As for the affairs of the church, such a person can’t even handle such trivial matters. Now let’s talk about the third person, that is, the Dark Moon Lord—this guy is the one with the biggest black mist.”
"The Lord of the Dark Moon, according to the church, was the king of the mountain barbarians who provoked a race war, and later became an undead demon because of excessive use of black witchcraft," I recalled what Ron said to myself, "It is said that he He is resurrected every hundreds of years, and every time he is resurrected, it is when the dark moon invades the earth. From the beginning, I think this person is very strange: he waited for hundreds of years to read the article, just to come to the earth and let the goddess kill him for a second Now, it seems that the process of his resurrection and deep sleep is completely a negotiated play, and whether this Dark Moon Lord is good or evil has to be completely overturned."
Bingtis subconsciously tapped a book on the table with his fingers: "According to the conversation between Suoya and Edwinsa, the Lord of the Dark Moon is currently in a deep sleep period, that is to say, except for the point of 'negotiation' , The things recorded in the God's Code are correct. The Dark Moon Lord will indeed wake up once in hundreds of years, and then come to the ground and be cut off by the goddess. If this is a play, then their performance cost is high enough. "
"The last is the blood princess..." I put aside the matter of the Dark Moon Lord, and mentioned the last one in the group of four, "We know the least about this one, and I have never heard of the dark moon before. A character known as Blood Princess, now only knows her name, and this is not necessarily her real name."
"You can ask the three iron knights," Bingtis said casually. "After all, what we can read from these books is limited. Some things should only be passed down by the local population. Now I am the most curious Or what did these four people do back then... If what they heard today is true, each of them has changed the world, and it can even be said that the current state of the planet is shaped by the four of them. They should look like Partners, but now they act as hostile forces in groups of two. The pope and the dragon girl organize resistance wars on the ground, and the dark moon prince and the blood princess organize invasions on the moon again and again. This is definitely a stage play that ignores human life. Ah. But they seem to have a reason to do this, what did the dragon girl say, saving the world... This is not something ordinary people dare to say."
"It's a pity that the relevant records must not be found," I sighed a little regretfully, "They definitely don't want people to know what they did back then, and even the 'forbidden books' you found don't have any information about the group of four."
At this time, the tent door was suddenly opened by someone, and Qianqian hummed a strange tune and flashed in with the same joy as always. I looked up at this girl who was full of familiarity and talent: "You still don't know what to do?" Can you really chat with that paralyzed dragon girl for so long?"
Pandora hit my waist with a horizontal head hammer without changing her face: this little girl also knew that she had been shot.
"Well," Qianqian happily sat down next to me, "Actually, she's quite easy to deal with, but she doesn't like to talk."
Being able to evaluate a stranger with iceberg + facial paralysis as "very easy to deal with" in the first contact situation, Qianqian's ability is really impossible for others to imitate. Lin Xue looked at her curiously: "Then what did you talk to her about? Did you find out the information?"
"Let's chat casually, and I've heard a lot of things." Qianqian snapped her fingers, "Now I know that Sonia likes spicy food, not sweet food. Her favorite color is purple. She is 1.73 meters tall. , I like to turn to the right side when I sleep. I bought the shoes in Moresa City. The boss who sells the shoes is a big fat man. The boss’s second cousin and third uncle’s younger brother is Paul. In addition, Sonia’s bust... oh, this Let's not talk about it, Ah Jun, you are not suitable to listen to this... Why do you all look at me?"
Except for Pandora who was still pretending to be a porcelain doll with a blank face, all of us looked at this magical girl dumbfounded, and I excitedly held shallow paws: "Girl, if your brain is a little more With such a small size, he can definitely be an agent and break into any place in the world... "
Of course, Qianqian didn't find anything useful. Firstly, this girl's thinking was not on the normal axis at all. The only reason she chatted with Suoya was out of sheer pleasure, and there was no other purpose at all. Second, it was that The dragon girl is definitely not familiar with everyone like Qianqian. Qianqian can find out about Suoya's bust, but she certainly can't find out what the female dragon king did thousands of years ago...
The next thing is to wait and see when this Sonia plans to leave for Dark Moon. At first, I thought it was best to find a reason to act together with her, and find a way to make this indifferent dragon girl trust our group, so that the rest of the matter would be much easier, but Bingtis analyzed it and felt that this It's not very reliable, after all, not everyone has the same natural talent as Qianqian, the facial paralyzed elder sister really doesn't seem to be easy to contact, and we have a bunch of strangers who suddenly appeared nearby, it's not easy It is easy to make her suspicious, which is not good. So after some discussion, we decided to follow her secretly. Anyway, according to Bingtis' original plan, everyone will go to the dark moon to investigate, and the date of departure has not been fixed. Now everyone simply waits for this Dragon Lady, we will follow her as soon as she leaves, so as not to miss the key situation, and secondly, just to observe what the Gemini teleportation station is.
Of course, I also remember to inquire about the blood princess, because we don't know anyone else here, and that stupid big man may have limited knowledge, so the only reliable person to inquire about is the trio of iron knights. With the help of Bingtis' louse spirit, it is not difficult to know the movement and rest time of the trio. They just changed shifts with other night watch knights this evening, and then went to the tavern in the lower area of the fortress for entertainment: this should be three people Set of daily habits. I didn't bring anyone else this time, so I went to find them in the tavern by myself.
Like most recreational places in the lower area, this tavern on the corner of the street is also maintained by the subordinate troops and is exclusively open to soldiers. It has the same characteristics as all similar places in the fortress: noisy, lively, full of people everywhere. The shocking news of men and women bragging and farting. The trio of iron knights are particularly conspicuous in the tavern, not only because Anna has a particularly eye-catching red hair, but also because Joseph's bragging is more than ten decibels louder than everyone else...
I have almost known the rules of this place, and like everyone else, I ordered a large glass of low-alcohol wine that looked like a small wooden barrel on the long bar, and then I swung my arms and came to the table of the trio: "Yo, again We met."
"Hey, look, it's the one with a bunch of girls." Joseph raised his head and saw me, and immediately shouted happily. He may have drunk a lot, and his head was flushed, "We are really destined, we will meet in the morning We met at the old cripple's restaurant, and now we meet again! Just because of fate, you have to buy us a drink... "
He was slapped by Anna before he finished speaking, and the latter was full of momentum: "Can you grow a little face?"
I was robbed before I even opened my mouth, but I didn't mind at all—although the statement of "a bunch of girls" almost attracted the attention of everyone around me, but I could see that the person in front of me No malice, he's just a little too straight. The trio may have jumped a little bit, but I had a good impression of them, so I sat down with a cheerful smile: "Okay, just thank you for taking care of the silly guy, I invited you today."
Joseph laughed with a sullen face: "What you said, in fact, we didn't take care of it much, we just followed the rules-boss, let's have another barrel of ale!"
Anna sighed, and looked at me apologetically: "Don't mind, Joseph is a bit greedy for petty gain, and I'm sorry for making you spend money. Next time, please come back—boss, let's have a big platter!"
I froze with a dumbfounding expression on my face. In the end, the handsome elf guy in the trio maintained a bit of refinement and restraint derived from racial genes, and of course had a little sense of morality. He looked at himself in embarrassment. Both of them drank too much. Partner, bowed slightly to me, got up and walked to the bar, and then came back with ale and platter...
"Where are the girls next to you?" Anna looked behind me, but she didn't find anyone following me. She was a little curious, but soon she nodded with understanding, "Oh, I see, they should be taking care of the children at home... Ah, yes , Those two are not children, I keep forgetting."
I dealt with the other party's inquiries with a big head, thinking that the gang of happy girls I brought had made a name for themselves after all, and I finally found a chance to talk about something serious after a few words, so I used what seemed to be casual He asked in a tone: "By the way, do you know Blood Princess?"
It’s okay if you don’t ask, but when I asked, almost half of the bars were filled with needles.
The sudden change in the atmosphere made one's scalp tense. I thought it was terrible. I completely underestimated the deterrent power of these three words before—why is the name Blood Princess more sensational than that Dark Moon Lord? !
From the corner of his eyes, the soldiers or mercenaries on the nearby tables stopped talking. Some of them were still holding wine glasses, and some were still stuffing their mouths with food, but all their movements stopped there. And secretly looked at this side with his eyes. These big bosses who licked blood on the tip of their knives were as silent as old drivers who heard someone talking about a car accident just as they were about to leave the car. The effect can only be achieved by unlucky things. This situation lasted for a few seconds before slowly recovering. The drinkers around returned to their topics again, and Joseph asked in a low voice with a bit of complaint: "How do you Bringing up such an ugly thing?"
I was still guessing how powerful that blood princess was, and could make a group of mercenaries of all sizes change their expressions to such an extent, but I couldn't help but answer Joseph's words, so I had to say nonsense: "Eh... go to the fortress during the day When I met a white-haired woman, she said she was looking for Princess Blood or something... "
This sentence is unclear, and even if there are many loopholes, Joseph will never think that I said it without knowing what the blood princess means. , now that An Yue is about to open the door on the ground, those of us who are going to fight are most afraid of the word Blood Princess, who dares to take the initiative to find her?"
I weighed my words, and while thinking about how to make the other party not suspicious, I said: "I know that the blood princess is notorious, but... to tell you the truth, I was not a mercenary a few days ago. Helped the girl out to do this job, so... "
Anna saw that my expression was very sincere (acquired through many time travels), and my reason seemed to be justified, so she nodded: "No wonder, I don't think you look like experienced mercenaries, but rather like a group of research spells. It’s normal for a guy who has nothing to do outside of surgery to experience life, since he has never been a mercenary, so it’s normal that he doesn’t know enough about the blood princess—but you should know that the coalition forces on the ground organized two death squad expeditions during the Fifth War, right? "
What else can I do? I can only pretend to know and nod: "Well, I know this, but I don't know much about the details. I used to patronize learning."
Joseph gulped down the rest of the beer in the cup in one gulp, glanced at the silent Joe on the other side of the table, and then sighed: "During the fifth war, the coalition forces on the ground reversed the dark moon transmission for the first time. The door, to open a passage from the ground world to the dark moon—now people say that it was actually done on purpose by the blood princess, because that terrible guy couldn't leave the dark moon, so she used this method to seduce the people on the ground to her However, the commander of the coalition forces at that time felt that he had encountered a golden opportunity, so the coalition forces on the ground organized the first expedition or counterattack against the world of the dark moon. For the first time, they sent an advance army of 20,000 people , After crossing the portal, there was no news, and 30,000 people were sent out for the second time, only... four came back."
The brawny bear-like man in front of me almost trembled when he said the last few words, I widened my eyes, and I already had some guesses in my heart: "... This is the handwriting of that blood princess?"
Anna and Joseph nodded at the same time, and the latter said in a low and frightening tone: "According to those who ran back, it was a massacre feast, tens of thousands of people, how long does it take to kill each one? The blood princess surrounded them all with black magic, rampaging through the crowd alone, as long as she came into contact with it, no matter if it was a human or a horse, it would turn into a puff of white smoke without even taking a breath, and she would kill them all. For a few days and nights! It was as if she wanted to vent the depression of not being able to kill as much as she could in the previous dark moon wars! She killed for days and nights until she had enjoyed herself before letting the dark who had watched the good show for a few days The moon demons gave the remaining soldiers of the expeditionary army a happy ending. The four people who escaped by chance survived because they were taken as spoils by a dark moon demon. Now you know why you can’t mention those three words, right?”
"From then on, the people on the ground knew that the dark moon was actually ruled by two people. The invincibility of the dark moon is well known, but it was not until the appearance of the blood princess that people realized that during the hundreds of years that the dark moon was sealed by the goddess every time. , who is organizing those dark moon demons to prepare for the battle," Anna slowly added next to her, "Blood Princess... She is the right-hand man of Dark Moon Maharaja, a demon who is also immortal, but for some reason, she never She appeared in the world above, and some people guess that she was completely imprisoned on the surface of the dark moon by the power of the goddess."
"Does anyone know what that Blood Princess looks like?" I asked curiously.
"...Three of the four people who ran back were crazy, and the one who was not crazy at the end said that the blood princess was a monster woman," Joseph moved his buttocks on the stool, as if he was getting goosebumps, "that monster looked It looks like a human being, dressed in black, red as blood, and paler than bones. She doesn't make any sound, and she is like a machine when harvesting life... "
"Because she is so cruel, so she is called the blood princess?" I suppressed the great confusion in my heart, frowning and showing the same worried expression, and asked in a low voice.
"No, Blood Princess is not a nickname, it should be the monster's name, at least it is also her official name on the dark moon, this is the soldier who survived and came back to report the news when he was locked in a cage and heard a demon call of."
I nodded and didn't ask any more questions, but I had more and more doubts in my heart. Slowly, I fell into deep thought... RS
