Crown of Silence

Chapter 393 Entering the City

"Probably...it must be done."

Caligula looked at Ben, took out a stone from his arms, placed it on the table, and slowly pushed it in front of the two of them. The bright red stone is only the size of a fist, delicate and beautiful.

"What is this?" Ben frowned.

Caligula smiled.

"Did you know? When I was young, I lived in Burgundy."

“It’s a great place, my wife and I got married there, she’s smart, lovely, beautiful, charming—everything in the world.

She died early and it was my fault. Following me, she suffered a lot. At that time, various countries expelled the Romulans, causing riots. The kingdom wanted to imprison me, but she stood up to vouch for me. This matter had nothing to do with me.

Later she... later, she died.

She swore to the gods that if I was innocent, my heart would not be bad. But where can God protect a person like me? I was imprisoned for ten years, soaked in a water prison, and didn't even have the chance to attend her funeral. I didn't even know she was dead. "

Caligula stretched out his hand and rubbed the stone as bright red as flesh and blood:

"You see, her heart is here...she has confirmed her vow."

"I searched everyone with it, but ten years have passed. Everyone has forgotten it. Even the files and files from back then have disappeared. No one in the world remembers her anymore, and no one remembers me. ”

Caliguka looked at Ben and said word by word: "The most cruel thing in the world is this: there are some things that you have not forgotten, but the world has forgotten.

- Because they don't care. "

After a long silence, Ben lowered his eyes: "Is this why you harbor resentment against the nations?"

"No, I don't hate it."

Caligula shook his head: "Hate has no meaning.

Anyone with any sense can see that everything the nations did to Romulus was for a reason and could be called a last resort, but are we destined to perish?

We are born with sin and have no way to heaven, so we should die obediently before falling into the abyss? "

Caligula held the bright red heart in his hand and stared at Ben: "People who are born guilty are also qualified to be redeemed. Sir Ben, if you don't care, then let me do it."

——

There was silence in the dark steel cabin.

Ye Qingxuan suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness, as if he had suddenly entered the deep sea, and the pressure around him was squeezing him, almost crushing him.

It was a sudden and strong impact when the whale fell.

But at that moment, his vision went dark, as if everything had stopped.

He fell into the icy ocean, every part of his body was frozen, and even his thinking came to a standstill. Including the small source in the body, all movement has stopped, and all music theory has been completely frozen in place.

But then, the abnormality disappeared again.

Xiaoyuan vibrated slightly, emitting inexplicable fluctuations. Wherever the fluctuations passed, some shackles were released. Ye Qingxuan's stiff body trembled suddenly, sweat dripped down his back, and he panted fiercely.

In the cabin, several masters looked at him in astonishment.

Originally, they did not agree with the knight appointed by the Knights Templar to join the team.

Within the scope of "Faust", unless the chapter of destiny in the body unfolds, temporarily opening up the barrier between the etheric world and the material world, and allowing people's will to escape the interference of "Faust", everything will be destroyed by that. Frozen in time.

Since the Knights Templar guaranteed that this knight did not need any care, they had no objection, but they did not expect that even they needed to hold up the Seal of Fate and resist with all their strength, but Ye Qingxuan actually passed it easily. .

Only the master from Angelo looked at him thoughtfully and couldn't help but whistle.

To be honest, Ye Qingxuan didn't understand what was going on at all: he only vaguely noticed that the melody and music theory of "Faust" did not affect him, as if he was ignored.

"We have entered the range of Faust. Once we land, you need to be careful."

The master whispered softly beside him: "Although we are already masters, we need to use the Chapter of Fate to resist the influence of Faust. It is only equivalent to an ordinary distortion level, but no one knows what will happen. See things No, you don’t have to worry about us, just turn around and run away.”

"..."

Ye Qingxuan was speechless for a while, and cursed in his heart: Who promised the priest to protect me in the first place!

The black-robed master chuckled, but before he could say anything, there was a huge earthquake.

As if he suddenly hit a wall, Ye Qingxuan felt a violent shock all over his body and his bones were shaking. Even with the internal and external shock-absorbing system, they were almost falling apart.

The cabin has landed!

There was a bang.

The cabin door was bounced open by the machine pivot and flew into the distance.

The original design was to save time and make it easier for the Templar Knights to move. But now, the cabin door, which had just escaped the protection of the masters, was frozen in the air.

Several masters shrouded in the Chapter of Fate stood up, reached out and pressed on the hatch, and the stationary hatch suddenly flew out for a while, and finally solidified in the air again after a few meters.

The hatch opens.

Ye Qingxuan took a breath, untied the chains and fixtures on his body, staggered to his feet, followed behind, and looked out.

The whole world seemed to be frozen into ice, covered with a layer of icy blue. The cabin crashed into the ground of a certain square, cracks spread to all sides, and gravel flew out, but then solidified in the air.

Time stopped at the moment when they fell, so weird.

At this moment, they had entered that strange city, but when they looked up at the tall buildings around them, they couldn't help but be shocked by the dark and sharp beauty.

This is definitely not the style of the Romulus Empire. It can be said that it is completely different.

The people of Romulus advocate square or perfect circles, prefer pure white in color, and have magnificent structures, but in this city, no building is white at all.

Those thin gray buildings are tall, with sharp ribbed arches piercing the sky. The flying buttresses on both sides are carved with lifelike statues. On the square floor tiles under your feet, each one is poured with slender and complex lapis lazuli. texture.

Detailed and exquisite decoration fills every corner, making it dazzling.

But such a gorgeous building did not bring any sense of closeness. Instead, it increased the distance between them, making the building become distant and distant.

Along the way, Ye Qingxuan couldn't tell the specific functions of those buildings at all, as if this was not a city built for people at all, but a huge work of art.

The entire city is like a huge temple dedicated to the only and supreme god.

But the god has left its throne and is nowhere to be seen.

Only the center of the city, the apex church, was in flames.

The only light illuminated a dark city, but it made people feel more and more depressed. As they walked all the way, it was like climbing up the stairs in front of the temple. The further forward, the more you can feel that kind of feeling. Inexplicable majesty, that majesty oppresses the backs of those who come to worship God, making those who come to worship God bow their heads and offer everything they have respectfully.

"Is this city built by the religious order?"

Angelou's master muttered unhappily: "Why is it like the Holy City? I feel like dust wherever I go."

"It has nothing to do with Holy City, it feels the same but in a different style."

Beside him, Ye Qingxuan said lightly: "If we want to compare, it is more like..."

After a pause, his voice fell into silence and he stopped talking: he unexpectedly discovered that the style most similar to this place was the Royal Anglophone Academy of Music.

Ye Qingxuan turned back and stared at the square where they landed. Only after leaving the square for a long time, he looked back and discovered that there was a huge emblem engraved on the ground of the square, announcing his existence to those who came.

Double snake mark, double snake mark again.

"Boss, why is it you again!"

Ye Qingxuan cursed in a low voice: Although he had always known that Hermes was mysterious and mysterious, he didn't expect that he could be so evil...

To be honest, even if he saw Hermes descending from the sky with little wings and told him that he was actually an angel descending to earth, he would still believe it!

However, no one fell from the sky with little wings.

Instead, sticky blood emerged on the ground between the blue bricks. Wails suddenly sounded, and twisted faces emerged in the void. Darkness swelled, rising like mist.

"Black musician!" Ye Qingxuan whispered softly.

"Those bastards are here too! Why are they so fast!"

Caught off guard, the group of people did not expect to step into the trap of the black musicians unknowingly. They were disguised in the clothes of original sin and had no clues at all.

Where on earth did those guys find the time to set up the trap!

Before they had time to think about it, the trap was activated. In the dark movement, many masters were instantly suppressed and fell into the blockade of the Clothes of Original Sin.

In an instant, the music theory suppression was completed. The stone slabs under everyone's feet quickly decayed and turned into the rotten soil of the abyss. The soil surged and stretched out pale palms to grab the living.

An angry roar sounded, the master from the School of Change waved his hand, and an inexplicable fierce melody sounded. In the blink of an eye, the rotten soil was burned back into pure white floor tiles. The color of the floor tiles was as pure as milk.

Ye Qingxuan glanced at it, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

This master's bad taste is really quite serious: this is obviously 'bone china' made by crushing and drying those pale palms, then mixing the ashes into the soil and firing them.

In a hurry, he actually separated the bones and recalcinated them into the stone, which shows his skill. Moreover, it also cut off the changes that the enemy would perform next with the hands of those bones.

The thick blood evaporated, became dense in the air, and merged into the black mist.

In the darkness, several vague and swaying figures could be seen faintly laughing strangely, playing strange melodies, and attacking towards the crowd.

This time, Ye Qingxuan was not nervous: if the sky fell, there would be someone tall to hold it up. With so many masters around, it would be damning if it was his turn to take action.

However, at the same level, the masters actually fell behind!

The opponent's black musician seemed to have no restrictions in the shroud of "Faust". He acted defensively and instantly put the struggling people into a precarious situation.

Then, the sound of gurgling water sounded. The darkness opened up, and a cold river emerged, carrying a biting wind, surrounding everyone. In the river, colorful illusions flashed one after another, making people fall into it at the first sight, dazzled and unable to extricate themselves.

Just as he was in a trance, Ye Qingxuan felt someone suddenly slap him on the back of his head.

"Are you going to die? You dare to look directly at Huangquan!" Master Anglo snorted coldly, awakening Ye Qingxuan. He quickly collected his mind, the moonlight in his eyes lit up, resisting the erosion of that fatal illusion.

But the chill in his heart became even worse: Huangquan!

The Hundred Eyes took Huangquan from the Great Source, and it was real...

With the power of Huangquan, no wonder the other party had no scruples. Even Faust, who solidified time, could not freeze Huangquan, which represents death and the end.

Just when everyone looked gloomy, tired and defensive, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Don't be afraid, look at me!"
