The blazing sun hung high in the sky, and a little bleak noon sun fell on lakstark fortress. A layer of gold was thickly painted on the surface of different buildings, reflecting mottled colors at the same time.
Knoxtola.
The unique portal of the Knox empire. At this time, the ripple in the center of the door leaf is like a lake, and a touch of rich Rune waves spill into the air along the dark gray wall.
The air trembled and the ripples exploded.
Swein took the lead in walking out of knoxtola, and soon afterwards, ogst and Petrick walked out respectively.
Ogst still looks like [guy], with a handsome face, a tall body, ice blue hair scattered around his shoulders, and surprise in his frosty pupils.
Petrick is no longer in the form of abyss red dragon, but transformed into a strong middle-aged man.
The crimson armor was wrapped around him, and his long bright hair was stained with the smell of decay. Together with himself, he looked very weak.
They were like followers, one small and one large, following behind svein, silent.
The warm light covered the gray road in front of knoxtola. The soldiers of the Knox Corps who hurried along immediately saluted when they saw svein. As for the two people behind them, they didn't care.
"This is... The extraordinary Legion?"
Ogst carefully released his spirit and felt the strength of every Knox Legion soldier, and a trace of waves appeared in his heart.
As the Immortal Dragon Lich in the winter abyss, ogst has lived for a long time and has seen the elite legions and temple Knights of many countries.
Even so, in his memory, he rarely saw the extraordinary Legion full of professionals, especially the Legion soldiers who were filled with iron blood and proved themselves with killing.
Professionals are no longer ordinary people, but strong people who step into the road of transcendence.
No matter where on the mainland of caladimos, professionals can easily live well, and even get titles in some small kingdoms.
Of course, in order to welcome the arrival of their own gods, some temples will specially arrange some professionals who rely on resources to form a corps of professionals as a facade to cater to the preferences of the gods.
However, compared with the professional Legion that has really experienced countless battles and grown up, it is not a level at all.
It's not just ogst. Although petrik often lives in the red lotus abyss and rarely knows the main material plane, he has heard of the strength of the professional legion, which is far beyond the abyss monster.
The Knox Corps impressed them at this moment.
But they are only profound. They are high-level legends and dragon legends. It has been proved that the strength of the noxas Legion is very good to enter their eyes.
However, ogst and Petrick did not know.
The place where knoxtola is located is just the iceberg corner of lakstark fortress, which does not represent all of the fortress.
Similarly, the noxasian soldiers stationed here do not represent the noxasian Legion in Valoran's territory.
According to the internal planning of the fortress, knoxtola is not far from the main fort. It is what we see and hear in the middle of this journey that makes ogst and Petrick more and more silent.
In particular, ogst secretly visited lakstark fortress before exile. At that time, the fortress was far less magnificent and towering than it is now, and the architectural community was not very dense.
Today, the environment of lakstark fortress completely breaks his cognition. More importantly, he sees the terrorist potential of the fortress.
Perhaps ogst and Petrick had tacitly believed that this was almost all the power of lakstark fortress until they stood in front of the main castle.
The dark main castle is about 20 meters high. The wall surface is engraved with many thorns and roses.
From the simple appearance, the main castle is like a combination of palace and castle, with a cold and solemn atmosphere, especially at the top. The balcony and several windows are cut out, breaking the inherent concept and many practical.
But the seemingly ordinary appearance can't deceive ogst and Petrick's perception.
In their spiritual world, the main castle in front of them is like a sleeping dark beast, slowly spilling out the majestic energy fluctuations, and the scattered runes are like gray scales, dotted with solid outer walls.
Ogst and Petrick looked at each other, silently followed svein's steps, slowly approached the arch of the main castle, and saw the trefari soldiers guarding the main castle.
Great Knight!
The soldiers guarding the main castle had the strength of great knights, which made them tremble.
Even in the bottomless abyss, the strong at the Grand Knight level can be regarded as the commander of the abyss monster, and can get a little attention from the abyss pan consciousness.
Inside the main castle, the corridor is slender.
The dim environment extended, and the magic light shone on the faces of ogst and Petrick. The amazement and surprise in their eyes were not concealed.
Dark gray thick armor, sharp weapon with cold light, and three dents engraved on the breastplate.
These Guard soldiers wear similar standard armor, which means they are also a professional legion, and they are an extremely powerful professional Legion.
Because they both felt the strong breath of many nearby knights.
"Damn it, this is crazy. The strong Knight level guards a castle as a soldier?" Petrick looked calm, but a huge wave appeared in his heart.
Analogy with other professions.
Above the knight is a legend.
No matter where it is, a strong man with the strength of a knight can guard one side. Even in the bottomless abyss, the temples of the gods, the Dragon world, the element world and so on.
Creak!
The heavy hall door with engraved runes was opened. Swein glanced at ogst and Petrick behind him with the rest of his eyes. He immediately walked to the tall seat at the lower left of the steel throne, bowed down and sat down gently.
The exquisite magic lights hanging from the dome shed bright light and decorated the ground like frost and snow.
When ogst and petrik entered the palace, they first saw the angular steel throne, which glowed dark gray under the magic light.
Behind the throne stands a tall stone column engraved with eight shining different flags.
Ogst looked carefully. The flag was strange. At least he had never seen it in his long memory, but he knew deeply that the eight flags must have a very high status in Valoran's collar, otherwise they would not be engraved behind the throne.
in truth!
The eight flags with different styles represent the important forces in today's Valoran territory: giant God peak, fredrod, demacia, Bandar City, piltwalf, Zuan, Ionia and Knox. (based on the heroes appearing)
Looking down, ogst saw modrian, but as soon as his eyes touched, he felt the abnormal restlessness of the breath in his body.
"Legend? How is it possible?"
What he saw now was far more shocking than what had happened before.
If his memory is correct, ogst remembers that when he first met modrian, he was at a gathering of nobles in edalas.
It was [guy] who summoned modrian, and his strength was just a knight.
Now it's a legend?
Compared with ogst's inner shock, Petrick accepted his fate. As a prisoner, he stepped forward quite calmly, bowed and said, "Lord of purgatory flame Petrick, have you seen the great Lord modrian!"
The dull words recalled ogst's thoughts. He hid the waves in his heart, saluted and said, "I've seen Lord modrian!"
On the throne, modrian's posture is casual, and he leads the current strength with Valoran. The two high-level legends can't attract too much attention from him at all.
"Haven't seen you for a long time, eh... Shall I call you guy or ogst?"
"Just call me ogst. I don't deserve it." ogst replied softly with a slight eyebrow. The meeting along the way had made him give up his extra ideas, and he felt fatal danger in the palace.
Modrian leaned back in his chair and asked, "I heard you brought the news of the abyss invasion?"
"Yes, the invasion of the abyss, the invasion of the main material plane war launched by the bottomless abyss," ogst said in a deep voice. "Perhaps the Lord has noticed that the current abyss invasion looks like thunder and little rain?"
Modrian can't deny it.
In fact, as ogst said, the abyss invasion in Valoran's territory has almost been controlled, and it seems that there is no terrorist harm in any fairy tale.
He was curious about this, so he specially checked some ancient books.
Strangely, the book only records the previous abyss invasion, focusing on the disasters and hazards caused by the abyss, without mentioning what happened and what caused the end of the abyss invasion.
Ogst took a deep breath, and a little fear sprang up in the depths of his eyes: "this is a comprehensive war between the bottomless abyss and the main material plane, even the gods can't avoid."
"The current abyss invasion is only the initial exploratory stage. The so-called abyss cracks are mostly small actions made by various layers of abyss."
"Temptation?" modrian moved his fingers and tapped the back of the chair. "What will the final stage be like?"
"Finally... Each abyss will open a real abyss channel with the main material plane. All abyss monsters can enter and exit the channel, enter the main material plane and kill until one party completely fails."
Ogst recalled that he had participated in an abyss invasion a long time ago, as a dragon, not a dragon Lich.
"Fully open?" modrian looked dignified, which was somewhat different from what he expected.
Karadimos is so vast that if it is fully opened, there should not be a territory connecting three or four layers of abyss, right?
"It will be a war between the God of order and the evil god of the abyss." ogst couldn't see modrian's inner feelings and continued to whisper to himself.
"It is also a war for countless legendary strong and semi divine strong to get the chance to become a God."
"In that war, the gods were no longer supreme, existed forever, and were in danger of falling."
"The twilight of the gods?" modrian heard ogst's words and said suddenly. It was very much like the twilight war of the gods in historical records.
"It is the twilight of the gods, but not just the war of the gods." ogst nodded in agreement. "According to the current situation of the abyss invasion, it will take about five to ten years to reach the final stage, which is also the stage of real immortality."
"Will it be in advance?" modrian asked in association with the situation of the territory.
"Generally not... I don't know much about it. I don't know much information. The real core news may only be known by gods or temples." ogst hesitated and chose to tell the truth. In this palace, he was under inexplicable pressure all the time.
Time will destroy all traces, but the high gods and their temples will keep records of some important events. Modrian is also very clear about this, but the current situation of Valoran leader is not suitable to disturb several temples around rashly.
In the following time, modrian kept asking ogst about details and key points that he didn't understand.
The friendly conversation between the two sides in the palace, coupled with the occasional intervention of the Lord of purgatory flame Patrick on one side, modrian and svein got a lot of useful news.
This is what the mocavi family, the temple of wealth and the balas family have not told modrian.
Dusk fades away and night spreads out.
The crimson glow was reflected inside and outside the palace through the Crystal Dome, paving a layer of golden Xia clothes for the trefari Army soldiers who guarded the main castle.
In the palace hall, modrian finished the topic, and looked sincerely at ogst, the Dragon Lich who had lived for countless times.
"I still remember my previous commitment to help you once within my ability."
He paused a little, saw the relaxed ogst, and smiled softly: "but I still want to ask, do you want to join the Valoran collar?"
"I will!"
The dull voice sounded like thunder, and petrik knelt on his knees and offered his noble etiquette to modrian.
????
Modrian turned his head to svein in some silence. What's the situation?
This abyss red dragon has a bad brain? Or the people you tortured can't stand it?
Swain shrugged his shoulders and signaled that he didn't know, well... He really didn't know.
This guy lost the face of the dragon family. Before others asked, he directly knelt down and agreed. It's not like the legendary red dragon who swallowed the sky's anger in the red lotus abyss.
"Under the title of ogst, you can think about it in lakstark fortress, and I'll wait for your reply." modrian said meaningfully. As long as you don't leave the fortress, everything is easy to say.
It seemed that he had already known his next fate. Ogst had no choice but to nod. He pretended to consider one or two. After all, it was related to what kind of treatment he received when he joined Valoran. It was really worth thinking about.
He can also choose to run away, but when he saw the strength of Valoran's collar, a strange thought sprang up in his heart.
Seeing ogst nodding, modrian looked at Petrick. The abyss red dragon was still crawling and kneeling, looking very respectful.
"Give me your real name."
Each legend will have a secret real name under the crown, which is not only the strength symbol of their profound legendary road, but also their imprint engraved in the depths of their soul. It is a unique representative in this world.
Once you lose your real name, it means that your path will be affected, and even yourself will be affected by those who control your real name.
Today's Valoran collar really needs some high-end combat power to guard all places. Since it meets the loyalty of an abyss red dragon with high-level legendary strength, modrian should accept it.
By the way, help iron glass city to collect some experimental materials, such as dragon blood, dragon scale and so on.
