Crown of Silence

Chapter 301 Light and Shadow

A strange hissing sound came.

It was just a moment of stagnation, and the stiff Dagonite had already started to move again.

After the "turtle shell" was broken, the parasitic monsters felt the fear from instinct, boiling in its body.

They stimulated the brain that had long been shriveled, trying to mobilize the last emotions left in the body.

"Arthur..."

Dagonite's body shook, and his face slowly raised.

On the incomplete face covered with foul-smelling liquid, there were still scorch marks from the burning of iron slurry.

"Give it back to me..." said the remaining anger.

The hatred buried in the corpse was awakened, roaring madly, repeating the same name, hating it deeply, and asking for the glory and status he had won for himself.

"Arthur!"

He roared, the bricks and stones under his feet suddenly cracked, and his twitching body swelled again, and the power that was already too exaggerated soared again.

The armor all over his body made a high-pitched shriek, echoing his angry roar.

The giant sword that fell to the ground was shattered by his foot, and the steel turned into fine iron sand under his ravage, deeply embedded in the deep cracks of the stone.

Finally, the one eye as red as lava looked at Ye Qingxuan, and then the furious giant rushed over.

"——Arthur!!!"

Before the man arrived, the exaggerated power set off a hurricane in the hall, making it impossible for people to open their eyes. But in the strong wind, the figure of the boy stood still, motionless, and the hem of the black dress fluttered in the strong wind, like an eagle spreading its wings.

The tight and revolving melody burst out from his hand like a sharp blade, and in an instant, it echoed in the hall of the strong wind. The boy stared at the cracks in his armor and looked at the demon hiding in it.

In the boiling mucus, pupils emerged, they were also looking at him, but there was no sense of panic on that face.

There was only indifference.

If Ye Qingxuan was still afraid of the former Knights of the Round Table before, then once these demons were exposed, there was nothing to fear.

Facing the impact like a huge rock, the young man raised his cane high and suddenly dropped it to the ground - bang! In an instant, the crisp sound of the steel trembling turned into the magnificent sound of the horn roaring.

The horn carried a fierce breath like the scorching sun, as if to dispel the endless darkness and desolation.

- Announce the arrival of dawn!

In an instant, the darkness was illuminated by the fire.

Half a meter long, sharp silver nails engraved with many notes and movements flew out of his backpack. After sensing such a clear demon breath, they spewed out flames and shot out like siege crossbows.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The roar of steel being torn came.

Sixteen silver nails penetrated the cracks in the armor in an instant. The huge impact caused Dagonite to fly backwards and hit the wall.

The silver nails penetrated the sticky demons, the shriveled corpses, pierced the armor, and finally nailed deeply into the wall.

Then, endless purgatory fire gushed out from the silver nails, sweeping Dagonite's body from the inside out, turning it into charcoal, and igniting the countless parasitic demons.

This is the chanting consumables given to Ye Qingxuan by the shaman. The alchemists refined dozens of tons of pure silver in just a few days and tailored the alchemical equipment for "Night on the Barren Mountain".

The firepower of Night on the Barren Mountain was more than doubled!

In the raging fire, Dagonite struggled hard, but had no way to break free, and was engulfed by the flames from the inside out.

Countless sticky liquids spurted out from the cracks in the armor, scrambling to escape, splashing like a fountain. But their bodies had already been ignited, convulsing wildly on the ground, until the end, not even ashes were left.

Through the thick firelight, Dagonite's body seemed to have returned to the moment before death again, screaming miserably. He pounded the wall that shackled him frantically, and the cracks spread.

Until the end, he stopped moving.

All the ether fluctuations disappeared without a trace, leaving only a red-hot armor in place.

Until now, Ye Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, with layers of cold sweat seeping out of his back, revealing a relieved smile: "Although I am not a formal musician, I am still quite strong."

When he said this, he heard someone's sneer in the wind, which made his expression stiffen for a moment, and he comforted himself: "Normal people can't compare with those monsters, it's good to be better than them."

He muttered something that others couldn't understand, walked forward, and pulled out the silver nail from the red-hot armor. As the silver nail was pulled out, the wall that was on the verge of collapse shattered, revealing a huge gap.

The broken wall and the armor trapped in it fell into the night sky outside the tower, falling down, and falling apart in the air.

"Have you climbed so high?"

The cold wind from the high altitude poured into the hall. Ye Qingxuan stood beside the crack, staring at the clouds outside, looking down... and then his expression froze.

In the gaps between the clouds, Ye Qingxuan clearly saw the bustling and prosperous city. Under the moonlight, the city was brightly lit.

Carriages were running on the streets.

The upper city was solemn and solemn, the middle city was full of singing and dancing, and the lower city was chaotic and noisy. There were ships that had just arrived at the dock, and the cargo ships that were about to depart blew their whistles, making a high-pitched sound that echoed in the night sky.

Such a lively and prosperous city is like a pearl that blooms brightly at night, making everyone unable to help but feel shocked from the bottom of their hearts.

"Is this Avalon?"

Ye Qingxuan turned back dullly, feeling the aura of disaster that was so thick that it couldn't be resolved. When he looked at the prosperous city outside the crack, his expression was full of horror that was so thick that it couldn't be resolved.

I am clearly in the core of the Shadow of Avalon, but why can I overlook the scenery of Avalon through here?

If the scene he saw outside the crack was not an illusion... then where exactly was he?

In the movie?

Still in...

——

Under the same night, in the clock shop, amid the crisp sound of ticking, Hermes was lying on the sofa after finishing his late night snack, loosening his belt comfortably, and his sizable belly bulging.

In front of him, there was a rather quaint floor-to-ceiling mirror.

He lazily held up his double chin and squinted his eyes to examine the scene in the mirror - in the mirror, a desolate city and the shadow of a demon flashed vaguely, and in the end, it was fixed at a bird's-eye view.

In the dark city, demons surged, and the white tower rose into the sky, exuding a strange aura.

"Shadow of Avalon?"

Bai Xi, who was passing by, stood in front of him and knocked on the mirror curiously, "Can you see another world from here?"

"Sorry, can't."

Hermes shrugged, "However, the Shadow of Avalon has never been in another world. At best...it's just the difference between 'here' and 'there'."

"What's the meaning?"

"If I were to say that we are in the Shadow of Avalon at this moment, would you believe it? Well, you wouldn't.

But it is what it is. "

Hermes showed his signature malicious smile, "Everyone knows that with the defeat of King Arthur, the Sword in the Stone fell apart, and the out-of-control 'Scepter Kingdom Come' pulled the fragments of Avalon and fell into the ether. In the depths of the sea, everything that happened back then was buried, forming the current 'Shadow of Avalon'.

But the shadow will always follow the light. How far is the shadow of Avalon from Avalon? "

Hermes raised his hand, and the light passed through his arm, leaving a shadow of his palm on the wall. The shadow changed with the posture of his palm, but it made Bai Xi feel shuddering.

"——The answer is, very close."

Hermes looked at his own shadow and placed his palms on the shadow, as if he had become one with the shadow.

“It’s ridiculous, isn’t it?

Throughout Avalon, hundreds of thousands of people live, die, breathe, eat, sleep, and mate...but no one has ever noticed that they are only one step away from the abyss. "

Hermes looked at her with a happy expression: "You and demons live in the same city, pass each other, live in the same house, and get along day and night.

But they don't know each other.

For example, right now, there is a spider mother above your head..."

Bai Xi's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he threw the dictionary in his hand at Hermes: "You, a severe mysophobia, would tolerate a demon in your home? Are you fooling a three-year-old child?"

"Haha, you are indeed my student!"

Hermes stretched out his hand, caught the dictionary with his fat fingers, and laughed.

"Now that you've said it, let's make it clear."

Bai Xi said coldly: "Don't just show off."

"I was just about to say, don't worry."

Hermes shook his head and sighed, drew imaginary pictures in the air with his fingers, and said:

"The three kings in ancient times called the place where they were located the material world, and the country where the Great Source was located was called the 'etheric realm', separated by nine layers of etheric sea.

But there is no long distance between the material world and the etheric world... rather, they have overlapped each other for a long time. The nine-layered sea of ​​ether connects the two to each other.

The saints use their own scepters to weave music theory, and use the invisible realm as a tower to penetrate the two realms and achieve all kinds of incredible miracles. Hoping to one day be able to enter the Great Source...

King Arthur, of course, is no exception.

In fact, the entire city of Avalon is a 'tower base' made by his scepter called 'Kingdom of Heaven', all of which are designed to maximize power.

With this, King Arthur almost ascended to the position of demigod.

And when he died, the kingdom of heaven that descended on the earth also collapsed, falling into the depths of the ether sea with him, and slept together with the darkness.

In the first few years, whenever the fog enveloped the entire Avalon, those demons lurking in the shadows would have the opportunity to cross that door again and appear here.

Later, as the shadows of Avalon sank deeper and deeper into the etheric sea, they became further and further away from 'this side', and in the end, only the connection of the 'blood road' remained. For hundreds of years, only the royal family secretly used their own blood to open pathways in order to hide some shady secrets.

It's a pity that recently, under the influence of some thoughtful people... this country of demons and monsters that had sunk into darkness has gradually awakened again. "

He paused and his expression twitched: "In the final analysis, this is all thanks to the shit stick.

The Ye family is almost extinct in the East, and they still refuse to give up when they reach the West. For thousands of years, no generation of family heads has been normal! Including your cheap cousin..."

Bai Xi was silent, staring at the world in the mirror, her tender cheeks gradually faded and became as heavy as water, and nothing could be seen. But Hermes raised his eyebrows: "Are you worried about him?

Forget it, you might as well worry about your father who is far away in Yunlou finally making up his mind to take you back to prolong his life for Yunlou.

——His life is tougher than yours. ”

Hermes snorted coldly, "Ye Lanzhou really spent a lot of effort back then, and I don't know how many good things he hid on him. It's a pity that he didn't expect his son to be so stubborn.

He looks more indifferent to reality than anyone else, but he is more naive than anyone else. ”

As he said, he showed a gloating application, and sighed, "I'm really looking forward to it. When Ye Qingxuan finds out the truth that has been "deliberately neglected" because of his naivety, how wonderful his expression should be? ”
