Unfathomable Doomsday

In a human-built mine not far from the city, the miners hang out with their tools.

The underground mineral resources of this city are too rich, but because of the problem of those mineral essences, they can only be mined to a few hundred meters and cannot go deeper. If they go deeper, stepping into the territory of those mineral essences is equivalent to a It's a disaster.

But today a big man came and led a group of people down the mine.

There are three remaining knights standing outside the mine. In addition to the two fully armed knights in white armor, there is one standing in the center wearing a golden cloak. The emblem of the head of the dragon on the cloak represents his identity.

A knight directly under the Emperor!

The knight standing in the center didn't wear a helmet. He was a middle-aged man with a rough beard.

His name is Kenser.

To be more specific, the name is Kenther Dodland, and he is the concubine brother of the current Emperor Dodland XXI.

Relying on the royal blood flowing in his body, he became the head of the knight order directly under the emperor!

There are countless knight orders in this world. Excluding those groups that work in literature and art and free mercenary-like groups, there are probably hundreds of thousands of knight orders affiliated to the empire. Unfortunately, the knight orders directly under the emperor sound really nice, but the real His fighting power is only the tenth at the bottom of the currently known knight orders.

And this tenth place is also intentionally promoted. Kenther knows exactly how capable his subordinates are.

As the emperor's exclusive knight order, it is a matter of course that the status is higher than other knight orders, so the usual crusade against rebels, bandits and monsters does not bother to participate in the siege...

Even the stage where knights must be on the battlefield! It turned out to be something in legends.

This world is too peaceful.

Kenther understood.

The tranquility is a little scary!

The tranquility makes people feel that their bodies are gradually rusting!

Since the empire was unified and the court of the gods came to this world, there has been no major war for hundreds of years!

People surrender to the fear brought by the court of the gods and indulge in the faith brought by the gods.

It has been a long time since human beings have done such things as fighting.

A world without war and gunpowder looks beautiful.

But Kenther was worried, and for some reason this feeling of worry had been piling up in his chest.

This beauty is like poppies.

Once it burns, it will turn into a raging fire.

Humans have forgotten how to swing a sword, how to kill the enemy...

"Completing the task is the most important thing." Kenser threw out the absurd thoughts in his mind. People always think a lot when they are old.

Perhaps the most important task that my knight order has taken on recently is to capture the saint.

A mission personally assigned by the Court of the Gods!

Because the Court of the Gods had promised that it could be completed without many people, Kenther did send a small team to the designated location to arrest the saint.

Haven't come back yet...

Kenser glanced at the dense forest behind him, where the most terrifying creatures of human beings lived! World of Warcraft...

But this group of monsters seems to be immersed in the comfort of the world, as long as humans don't disturb them, they will not threaten humans.

This world seemed to have truly gained peace at the moment when the court of the gods descended.

And then Kenther stared at the mouth of the cave.

The second mission of the Emperor's direct knight order.

That is to bring Her Royal Highness, the only surviving emperor of the empire, back to the central capital safely!

Kenser didn't know why the emperor suddenly had an extra daughter, he suddenly had an extra niece, and the empire suddenly had an extra royal highness.

But the most respected prophet in the Dragon Church admitted that the emperor's words were true, and predicted that 'this will be the existence of this world'.

As a result, the restlessness of the civilians in the entire empire calmed down slightly.

The belief in dragons has taken root in the hearts of everyone in the empire... They will not deny the things brought about by the Church of the Dragon God.

Kenther even suspected that if the court of the gods was not in the sky to deter them, the Shenlong Church might immediately raise the banner of rebellion.

Because they have knights no less than the emperor, and even in the hearts of common people, faith is higher than imperial power.

Kenther waited quietly, and the lord of the city in charge of mining the minerals volunteered to enter the mine.

According to the prophecy, Her Royal Highness is deep in the ground.

This is really strange...

The mineral essence disaster in the ground is notoriously flooded, absolutely no living thing can escape from the boundless sea of ​​mineral essence.

Could it be that Her Royal Highness has the potion that the mineral spirits can ignore?

Raw materials are very precious, and no one can refine them except the alchemists of the Dragon Church.

Just as a lot of questions piled up in Kenser's head, there was finally movement at the entrance of the dark mine.

"Boss leader..."

Incomparably weak, with an exhausted voice, when the figure walked into the sun, it was discovered that it could no longer be called a human being.

Both the armor and the body were corroded by the saliva of the mineral essence...

"Where's the medic?!"

Kenther immediately drank, but he fell to his knees and died as soon as he stepped into the sun.

He should have died minutes ago.

"..."

Seeing this situation, Kenser immediately realized that something was wrong.

When he wanted to rush into the entrance of the cave, he suddenly felt a black shadow flying out of the entrance of the cave. Kense didn't care because the speed was too fast.

After he walked to the entrance of the cave, he finally saw the scenery in it.

The knights corroded by the acid of the mineral essence fell to the ground. They tried their best to get to the surface, but the acid of the mineral essence was too corrosive! After the human body is stained, unless the piece of flesh is cut off, it can only wait for death!

"Damn it!" Kenther slammed the stone wall next to him, and the fragile ore wall was shattered by Kenther's huge strength: "Guards?! Hurry up! Find the living, and take the remains of the victims Take it back to the central capital! Give it to their families..."

This is the first time in several years that this knight order has seen dead people...

A knight should have been galloping past with knives and swords, in order to protect his country and bury his blood on the battlefield forever, the title of a hero.

But in these hundreds of years of peace, the title of knight has gradually changed to be indistinguishable from those nobles who enjoy themselves.

Knights are not nobles...

Kenther understands...

But he watched some recruits who were too scared to speak even after seeing those hideous corpses on the ground, and sighed silently.

But what he was most worried about finally happened! These people ran back with their last breath, but there was no sign of Her Royal Highness.

But when Kenser raised his head, a pair of scarlet pupils caught his eyes. It was a heroic girl who stood among these corpses and watched them silently, but her body But without any wounds.

"They're all dead."

Nai Ye stared at the stranger, and spoke with a cold feeling.

"His Royal Highness...it's really Her Royal Highness!"

Kenser recognized Nai Ye's appearance at a glance. Nai Ye's portrait had been circulated throughout the central capital a few days ago. As the executor of this mission, if he didn't write down the target's appearance, how could he have the face to carry it out? Task!

"They didn't die in vain!"

Kenser suddenly felt that this was the legend of knights...

In order to protect Her Royal Highness, she died heroically! This is how a knight should die!

Even though it was the first day they saw this princess, it was the first time they heard that this country had such a noble Royal Highness!

But now, Nai Ye is not injured at all except for the damaged clothes on his left arm.

Now in Kenther's heart, the cowards on the ground who escaped from the mineral spirits with their lives turned into a hero who gave his life to protect the princess.

Nice comfort isn't it? At least, there are still a few hot-blooded existences in his knight order, and they have not been calmed down to smooth their blood.

But Nai Ye knew that the blood of these people was cold from the beginning.

Because they were killed minutes ago.

What is shown now are just a few puppets, chess pieces controlled by Lu Qiu.

"Your Highness, I can't explain the reason to you at the moment, but please leave this mine first, please? We will not threaten you in any way."

Although he is the eldest brother of the emperor, Kenser is still a small knight leader. Facing the emperor, even his niece has to kneel on one knee and lower his forehead to face the emperor. .

"..."

Nai Ye's expression was cold, she no longer had the emotion called 'belief' towards human beings. Now that life is in the hands of another person, Nai Ye can only obey the orders of another person.

She looked at the knight who seemed to respect her very much, and for a moment she didn't know how to speak.

'what do I do? '

There is a special way of communication between blood clans, and Nai Ye quietly asked the man who controlled her life in her heart to give her a new existence.

what to do?

On the branches of the forest not far from the mine, there is a jet-black life, which is a life called a bat.

The bat didn't hang upside down on the tree, mainly because Lu Qiu, who had been standing for so many years, was not used to standing upside down.

As a vampire, it was very easy for Lu Qiu to turn into a bat. He had already rushed out of the cave and sat on a tree branch to observe everything.

Facing the confused and overwhelmed inquiries of his juniors.

After thinking about it carefully, Lu Qiu told her what to do with a little teasing feeling.

‘Just smile. '

Originally a girl with a very arrogant personality, she was trained by herself to become a fake three-nothing.

But this is just a disguise, and Nai Ye's expressionless face is just to protect his disguise.

Now...also in disguise.

"Where is this? Who are they?"

But unfortunately, Nai Ye's acting skills are not good enough, and there is still deep vigilance in her tone.

"I will tell you everything, Your Royal Highness." Kenser stood up and made a gesture of invitation to Nai Ye.

Outside is the world touched by the sun, far from the dark...
