Chapter 94

The numerous pointed towers of bomari Castle pierce the sky, and the ancient rose patterns engraved on them are wiped away and reappeared in the sky.

Almost all the soldiers of general Condor and rantoft died in yesterday's internal strife. General sheen led his soldiers to clean and search the castle thoroughly. The king saw the "treasure" that had been loaded with general Condor's carriage before.

It was a metal box of unknown material.

It is said that many of rantoft's soldiers died in order to dig out the box.

The Marquis of chavos reported to the king what he had found out. This box was taken from the tower in the middle of the castle by ranthoft, but there seems to be a strange curse in that tower. All the soldiers involved in the excavation will die within three days. If it wasn't for rantoft to fill the tower with his own life, it's still unknown whether the internal strife yesterday would succeed.

On the night of the infighting, the Marquis and the vulture general snatched the box from the hand of rantoft's own soldiers.

The whole body of the box is dark gold, but it gives people a feeling of extraordinary beauty. In the dark gold box, there are countless budding roses. On the front of the box, there is a relief ridge. On the ridge, there are ferocious and strange lines - a giant dragon perched on the ridge. The rose encircles the skeleton of the dragon. At the first sight of the box, people will think of the ancient absurd legend, and the ancient breath will come.

At a glance, we know that it absolutely has a crucial relationship with the rose family.

"Have you ever heard of it? It's a treasure that can make angels come and wish you a helping hand."

The king walked around the heavy box and looked up at the Marquis with a smile.

The old Marquis said with a wry smile: "general alroux and lantovt are still young and energetic. Old men like me only want to hunt and walk in their territory."

"Sir, it seems that his territory is near the dense forest and snow plain? I used to hear people say that the scenery of the snow plain is strange. " The king put out his hand on the box and tapped it gently, making a dull sound.

"The snow plain is like that all year round. If your majesty is willing to come, it is the glory of chavos."

The old Marquis carefully chose his own words. The king in front of him was not easy to deal with. The Marquis was a little uncertain. The king asked whether he wanted to wipe out chavos. We should know that the current situation is overwhelming.

The king looked at the old Marquis and said, "is it too hot in this house?"

"Legrand regained bomari, restored the glory of bomari, which had been ashen for a long time, and even dispelled the cold of winter." The old Marquis replied with a smile. He raised his hand and wiped his forehead. "No, even my old bones are sweating."

"Newcastle and Balboa will become the new County town of Legrand. Next, the stability of the northern snowfield will depend on chavos," he said

The old Marquis bowed: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that chavos is at your service."

The old Marquis stood outside after he withdrew from the luxurious hall. He shivered when the wind blew. At this time, his back was full of cold sweat. The king was beating chavos. The king's seemingly casual words contained enough startling news.

This time, the two most powerful states in the Rebel Alliance will no longer exist.

There will be no more Newcastle and no more Balboa in the rogrand empire. Instead, Balboa and Newcastle will be replaced. The old Marquis couldn't help thinking of the military castle built by the rose royal family in the north. At that time, the castle was named "Newcastle".

This leads to some conjectures:

has Legrand decided to recover his lost land and put it under the rule of the royal power?

The old Marquis took a deep breath, and the cold air filled his lungs. He seems to see a chariot, a steel chariot is slowly moving forward, all the obstacles will be crushed into pieces. The young king was driving the chariot with a terrible hand, which was Shunchang's rebellious monarch.

Next, chavos state, where to go?

In the hall.

Black fog surged out of the corner, and the devil in the black dress came out with a red rose pinned to his collar. He bowed to the king gracefully: "good day, my dear majesty."

"Is that what you call the treasure?"

Asked the king, bending his fingers and knocking on the box.

Rantoft and general Condor got the heavy box one after another, but the king just walked around it and found that the box was as one piece without lock holes, as if the box had not been opened again since the first day of casting.

The devil approached: "of course not. It's just the key to the treasure, your majesty."

"The key?"

"Maybe you can take it with you, go to the tower where it was discovered, and use the ring of the rose family to open it and the real treasure." The devil didn't answer directly. He looked down at the keel pattern on the dark gold box, as if he was thinking, "please, when you open it, can you allow me to watch?"The king looked at the devil, the devil's face was still a mask like smile.

He drew back his eyes and nodded slightly. He agreed to the devil's request.

"Well, let's go there in a more convenient way." The devil said briskly. He snapped his fingers and the nightmare carriage came out of the black fog. The devil added, "please believe me, your majesty, what you are going to open is not very suitable for ordinary people to see Of course, your rosary is probably not in this range

Bet monra's stupid crow that the king's rosary is a group of fanatics brainwashed by his majesty. Nothing can set up a bond of trust and loyalty between monarchs and knights better than a bloody battle of life and death

Ah! Unfortunately, it seems that this point can not be put on him and his majesty.

Thinking of this, the devil said half jokingly in a tone of complaint: "my dear majesty, you are so fair and just, so I can ask you to give some trust to your loyal hell knight?"

"If the knight is not full of lies, but is forged by conspiracy and cunning." Answered the king.

The devil showed his hand helplessly.

It's really hard to do.

Nightmare carriage carrying heavy boxes and the king, light through the hard black stone buildings. The king noticed that the devil seemed to be very familiar with bomari castle. When he drove the King through the old castle, he hummed an unknown tune.

The melody of that minor is strange, revealing a kind of gloomy and gorgeous.

The king listened, and soon the carriage of nightmare stopped in front of the tower in the center of the castle. General sheen had sent the rose cavalry to take over all the towers in the city. The devil raised the curtain for the king and helped him down.

The king looked up at the tower.

Unlike other castles, all rose family castles are designed and built without a church. In fact, almost all the churches in the royal castle of Legrand were built after the "war of punishment" and the expansion of the power of the Holy See. Bomari castle is no exception.

The tower in front of the king was the tallest in the whole castle.

The spire is high above the black stone. Its edges and lines are long and sharp. It feels like the horns of a dragon. Behind it are the mountains rolling over the horizon, surrounded by other high and low towers. The sky light fell on the dark rock, and even the light was absorbed by it.

No wonder the Marquis of chavos would believe that this is "the land of curse". It really doesn't look like a human creation.

So cold, so gorgeous.

The devil carried a heavy box to guide the king.

The tower has two floors of basement. The box is excavated from the basement at the bottom. In the basement, you can see the traces left by previous excavation, as well as some faint smell of blood.

In the middle of the basement, there is a dark room that has been cleared out. The soil has been removed. In the middle of the dark room is a stone platform with complex relief. The devil places the box on the stone platform, and then slightly leans down to show that the king can open it.

The king came forward and put his rose ring on the box.

The devil stood up and gazed at the next scene.

At the moment when the king's rose ring was attached to the box, the red of the rose on the ring seemed to rush up like a river in an instant, burning on the rose buds on the iron box, and then only the sound of the metal gear turning inside the box could be heard. It should be innumerable fine gears, they rotate orderly, the sound of friction is like melodious music.

Scarlet flowed from the ring to every dark gold rose bud, as if the magic of time was fading. All the rose buds on the box revived at the same time, and they had life again. When the last bud was stained with blood, the melody of gear rotation burst out.

It's a trick that the best magicians in the world can't recover.

All the roses in full bloom at the same moment, bright red roses as if connected into an ocean, submerged the ridge keel.

At the moment when the rose was in full bloom, the stone platform turned, and the whole basement wall began to fall with dust. The dull vibration came from the foot. In the sound of the huge stone rubbing, the wall facing the king rose slowly, revealing a long passage.

Sure enough

The devil sighs in his heart.

He just opened the black umbrella to cover the dust from the top of his head for the king.

The air gushed into the dust covered passage for a long time. As the air flowed in, the candle lit up on both sides of the passage. It's a black iron candlestick inserted on the wall of the passage. I don't know what kind of candle is made of. After such a long period of time, the candles are still the same. They light up automatically, as if the spirit in the dark is illuminating the way for the king.

"Your Majesty."

The devil walked with the king and stopped at the entrance of the passage. He leaned slightly.

"Please be prepared."He seemed to know what was hidden behind the passage, and thought he should not step in side by side with the king - it belonged to the rose family.

The king looked at him and stepped into the passage.

The devil straightened up and looked at the king's back melting into the warm light of fire. The flames swayed slightly, as if in joy.

The devil smiles and follows.

………………

At the end of the passage is a black iron gate, which is engraved with a dense array of Dharma, just like the one in the Rose Palace. The king vaguely felt that behind the iron gate, there was a corner of the ancient history.

He reached out and stuck the rose ring on the black iron gate.

The gate opened.

The strong wind surged out from the inside, the king's robe was rustled by the wind, the wind was like a galloping horse, like the cry of the soul, like the dead army was recovering.

The king's pupil is illuminated by the cold light. In the huge space behind the iron gate, pale stone pillars stand vertically, as if supporting another space hidden here. Just like that time, the truth of the Rose Palace was revealed in front of the king. Now, the age of ancient legend has come across the world again.

In front of the king, in the underground space, is an army.

It seems to be the army that the most insane minstrel can compose. The heavy armor and pale skeletons combine to form a terrible army that only exists in nightmares. The armour of the heavy cavalry of the gurendy is ferocious enough, but in front of it, it seems to be the difference between the fierce beast and the hound. All the armor is engraved with complex and exquisite array, and the light flows on the array, illuminating the whole space.

The king looked up at the armor.

Skeletons, cavalry, armor, array

It was so terrible, but it made the king feel so warm.

Where does the warmth come from?

The devil behind sighed softly: "it's true that the rose family has survived."

The king turned to see him, the devil no longer smile, he also gazed at the skeleton army still in deep sleep, whispered: "it should be said that the rose family is a dragon killer, but also a guardian."

"Remember the ghost ships that your pirates owned?" The devil turns the black umbrella in his hand. The tone of his story is like everything he has experienced personally. "This is the power left by the legendary age for the latecomers."

The "ghost ship" owned by Warwick pirates is actually a relic of ancient alchemy. At that time, the king learned that, in the legendary era when the holy court had not yet expanded, the alchemists had not disappeared from the earth, and the half life alchemy magic ships were travelling on the abyss channel.

What's the age of legend?

There are dragon killers and half life boats Is it beautiful, romantic and picturesque?

"The alchemists of the legendary age tried to go beyond taboos."

Said the devil.

In the age of legend, some mortals gained strength from the gods. But the limitations of mortals themselves are too great, and their power is very limited. So some people tried to use knowledge and wisdom to make these forces play a greater role. Those people were the alchemists at that time.

It was they who made the half life living ship that the Warwick pirates signed a contract with today.

The alchemists of that era were the allies of the Dragon killers, who fought side by side against the gods and all the extraordinary powers.

At the end of the legendary era, the first "Millennium kingdom" came, and the kingdom of God, hell and the world were swept into the flames of war. The first positive resistance of mortals failed, so the age of legend turned into legend, and the alchemist withdrew from the stage of history.

Originally, among the mortal rebels, the most powerful is not the Dragon killer represented by the rose family, but the alchemist. But the power of the alchemists originated from the gods. They did not expect that their power could be easily deprived by the gods, so in the war, they became the first group of mortal rebels who died.

Since then, there has been no alchemist on the earth.

"The power of these armor comes from their own souls, not from gods."

The devil raised his umbrella and said faintly.

In that failure, the alchemists finally understood where they were wrong. The power of God's gift was Pandora's box full of lies. The rest of them made the last batch of alchemy, and this batch of armor is part of it.

They also cast themselves into a part of the armor. At the end of refining the armor, they cast themselves into the furnace and turn them into skeleton soldiers who drive the armor.

This is the fire of civilization left by the rebels of the legendary era.

The failed alchemists proved at the last moment of their fate that they were equally powerful, and that they could be called heroes. They suffered red fire and turned into skeletons, just to make the road of resistance of later warriors go more smoothly.

"They chose the rose family."

Said the king softly.

He walked slowly forward to the first skeleton armored soldier.In front of it, there is a stone column placed by the latecomer, on which is engraved a brief introduction. The alchemist who incarnates in the skeleton is named "Al AFA". The rose family carved this monument like stone column for him.

"I would like to entrust myself to the Dragon killer. I would like to incarnate as a sword in the hands of mankind. I would like to sleep in the eternal night for mortals until I wake up and die again."

These are his last words.

The devil looked at the king and read the inscriptions on the stone pillars.

Mortals are really strange, they are so small, life is so short. A breath of gods is the life of mortals. They are like mole ants. If they are crushed lightly, they will turn into ashes. But why can such mole ants struggle to stand up in the ashes again and again?

The king passed by the stone pillars.

The fire of resistance has been burning for a long time, and it never stops.

The king finally understood why bomari castle was known as "the Pearl on the crown", why the Mad King Henry, the Lion King Charlie, William III and the Duke of Buckingham had been working hard to recover their lost lands all their lives.

Therefore, in the last era, there were some people who trusted the rose family so much that they entrusted everything to the rose family. They also engraved the badge of the rose family on their armor.

"When we need us most, please let us recover."

"Am I a knight of the rose family now?"

"If you can, in the next war, let's stand side by side again."

……

Sentence after sentence.

What a time it was.

Proud geniuses have made a pledge that will not change for a thousand years.

So some people sleep in the dark night, and turn themselves into swords. A family stands on the earth, passing on the oath from generation to generation.

After incarnating skeleton, the alchemists had no will of their own, and they completely became swords driven by human beings. The rose family had never used this sword for their own sake, which was the power left to mortals and could only be used for the end of the war. The rose family has proved that they have lived up to the trust of their allies.

No one has broken his oath.

What a long way to go?

From doomsday to prosperity, from darkness to light, so many people fill the gap for the latecomers with their own bones and blood, just for the ethereal hope.

So stupid, so stubborn.

The king stood in front of the last stone pillar.

This is the youngest alchemist among all the soldiers who turned into skeletons. Her lover is a knight of the rose family. Engraved on her tombstone is her fiance who exchanged rings with her.

"Dear vino:

while I'm sleeping, please play another rose melody in front of my armor. I will sleep in the dark until I wake up in a world without you Yes, I know that when I wake up, you will no longer be with me, but I will guard our world.

As long as there is a rose blooming in that world, I can feel your presence.

We used to have conflicts. Like most alchemists, I didn't trust you.

You know, at that time, dragon killers were synonymous with pride, conspiracy and unscrupulous. No way, vino. You dragon killers are too proud to explain anything. Now, I have to be honest and say that you are right - in this war, since there is no justice to speak of, we have to do whatever we can.

But I'm glad that the Dragon killer and the alchemist finally solved the misunderstanding and fought side by side.

You will be surprised that all the alchemists have engraved roses on their armor It's beautiful and we're willing to accept it.

Vino, please don't be alone. I'm with you.

Under this passage, there is another passage left by the knight of the rose family:

"because you love me, I will never be lonely."

Beyond the estrangement of ideas and means, at the end of that era, people who could not understand each other eventually stood side by side. They took the rose as a symbol and engraved the oath of crossing life and death.

The king closed his eyes.

A proud and silent family, a family carrying everything, a family standing like a rock in the long river of time Did his ancestors feel particularly warm when they guarded the castle?

They are dragon killers and guardians.

The hero's soul accompanies him in the long night. Even if the warrior dies to the last, he will never be alone.
