empire.

royal palace.

The busy day is over.

In the quiet night, not many people were arranged to guard the hall.

At this time, the emperor usually went to bed long ago.

But today, he was still sitting on the supreme throne and said, "Where is the hidden guard?"

Two figures appeared quietly at the foot of the steps, kneeling on one knee and saying, "Your Majesty."

The emperor said: "There are two tasks now. You perform one of them and keep the other in mind."

"First, from now on, we must immediately expand the number of hidden guards. According to the list recommended by the sequence, focus on selecting people with innocent identities and high strength to join and directly follow my command."

"Second, secretly kill everyone who explores the ruins of the Kingdom of Ceylon - I don't care who they are, but I believe you will find out soon."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The two figures quietly disappeared.

…

Cliff edge.

A figure appeared quietly.

Liu Ping.

——The Rock of Inexistence is really easy to use. You can just turn into a snowflake and watch everything happen.

He shook off the snow on his body and moved down quickly along the edge of the cliff.

The wind and snow are like hemp.

Soon, the traces he left were completely covered.

There are always places on the rocky cliffs that are suitable for climbing. The only problem is that these places are often slippery.

Liu Ping is now only a level three knight, so he naturally climbs cautiously.

After a while, he became impatient.

I saw him let go of his hand, and his body quickly swept downwards.

When he almost reached the bottom of the cliff, he called softly: "Zhao Chanyi."

A cat-eared woman appeared from the void, hugged him by the waist, slowly removed the force of his fall, and placed him gently on the ice.

I don't know how far it is from the top of the cliff. Looking from below, the cliff looks like floating clouds in the sky.

The wind and snow seem to have been isolated.

There was silence.

Liu Ping squatted down and tapped the ice gently, making a crisp sound.

"This ice is so hard, it has actually sealed an entire world. I guess this is definitely no ordinary frost." Zhao Chanyi said with interest.

"Of course not, pure frost can't do this." Liu Ping said.

"The monster said before he left that there was a sequence here - is this credible?"

"I don't know, let's use it as a reference first."

As soon as Liu Ping finished speaking, a sudden change occurred——

Lines of burning small characters appeared in the void:

"Attention, this sequence has sensed the breath of the same kind."

"To solve the mystery of this place, you must head southwest. There is a truth there that you must go and see with your own eyes!"

Liu Ping's expression changed, and he pulled out a card from the void and threw it out.

Bang!

That card turned into a war horse.

He jumped on his horse and galloped towards the southwest.

Zhao Chanyi was flying in the air, spinning back and forth around the war horse, and suddenly flew to his ear and said: "You were riding on me when you were running for your life just now. Why have you changed horses now?"

"It was a last resort to escape for one's life. The situation is not urgent now. Besides, I have a mount, so I have the nerve to bother you all the time." Liu Ping said.

He thought for a while, took out a basket of fresh fish and handed it to her.

"Here, I bought it at the market before. It is said to be a fish unique to glaciers. It tastes very delicious. Eat some first and take a rest."

Zhao Chanyi listened carefully, then looked at the basket of fresh fish in front of her, her eyes gradually curved into a crescent moon.

She took the basket with a smile and hummed: "Liu Ping, you have grown."

Bang!

She turned into a card, flew around Liu Ping twice, and landed in his arms.

Liu Ping put away the cards and shook the reins vigorously.

"drive!"

He drank.

The war horse immediately sped up and ran forward like the wind on the ice.

About a quarter of an hour later.

The war horse stopped slowly and was put away again by Liu Ping.

He looked at the ice and snow cliffs ahead and said, "I have reached the end of the road."

There was silence.

No response.

The sequence did not give any hint.

Liu Ping thought for a while, then casually pulled out a heavy war hammer, dragged it to the cliff, used all his strength, raised the war hammer high, and smashed it towards the ice-covered cliff——

Boom!

A dull sound.

The snow on the cliff fell one after another and turned into an avalanche, directly submerging Liu Ping.

A while passed.

Liu Ping climbed out of the snow and looked forward.

I saw that after the snow on the cliff was completely shaken off, its true appearance was finally revealed.

Countless people are sealed in the transparent blue ice crystals.

A man with a crown on his head, surrounded by people, assumed a posture of running away with all his strength.

He held a card in his hand and stretched it in the direction of Liu Ping, while everyone's eyes fell on the card.

Just one step away——

There is only one step left for the man wearing the crown to break through the ice and snow seal and come to Liu Ping.

pity.

This step is the natural chasm.

He and the card in his hand have been completely sealed by frost.

Liu Ping sighed and looked at the man wearing the crown. From the desperate look on his face, he seemed to be able to feel the miserable experience of the entire human country.

——No one escaped from the frost.

"after all……"

Liu Ping's eyes moved slowly and landed on the card.

I saw a black key painted on the card.

——On the blank card, there is only one black key.

What does this mean?

Suddenly, lines of burning small characters quickly appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes:

"special reminder!"

"You have seen an ownerless and incomplete sequence, sleeping in the eternal night, like a dead life."

"The first card is presented in front of you. Based on this card, we can infer the name of its former sequence:"

"Place of Exile."

"We discovered a new sequence, and given the circumstances—"

"This sequence is about to release its first official mission."

"You have entered a sequence mission:"

"Secret Fusion."

"Take that card, enter the incomplete 'Place of Exile', secretly collect every card in the sequence, and attribute them to this sequence."

"If you complete this task, this sequence will evolve."

"——This is an excellent opportunity for you to increase your strength, and it is also the secret way to survive in this sequence in the eternal night."

"start!"

In an instant, the card sealed by frost emitted a soft light.

Click click click——

The frost shattered one after another, and the card escaped from the corpse's hand, flew up gently, and landed in front of Liu Ping.

"It seems that this is the secret of the Kingdom of Ceylon..."

Liu Ping said softly.

He stretched out his hand and held the card with the black key on it.

A line of small words jumped out:

"Notice!"

"Time and space change."

"You are entering an era that belongs to the Kingdom of Ceylon!"

"It all starts here, please proceed with caution."

The surrounding scenery changed drastically.

The wind, snow, ice, and cliffs were all gone.

Liu Ping stayed in the white light for several breaths. It was not until the dazzling white light gradually faded that he could see everything around him again.

church.

The black church was surrounded by blazing flames, and many panicked voices came from inside:

"The door is locked!"

"Open the door, quickly find a way to open the door!"

"Bump it away!"

"No, this is a secret door, you must use a key."

"fire Fire!"

"Help!"

Liu Ping stood outside the church in a daze, looking up at the top of the church.

At the top of the church, there was a metal statue, with a wide dark cloak covering the figure of the god. Only a skeletal arm was revealed, holding a small scale.

——That evil god!

In the history of the Kingdom of Ceylon, it once controlled this place!

Liu Ping suddenly felt enlightened.

No wonder it doesn’t allow people to look into history, it all makes sense.

A line of burning small words quickly appeared:

"Open the door to save people, or let the first batch of believers of the evil god be burned to death. You need to choose a way to start your destiny from the two."

"According to your choices, you will join different forces and explore the future from different destinies."

Liu Ping looked at the black key in his hand and suddenly said: "So this is how it is used."

So, how to choose?

Let them burn to death and the kingdom will gain more breathing time.

If you save them, will you break into them?

No……

God will never accept a hypocrite.

——How to choose?

Liu Ping stood there, lost in thought.

Time passes slowly.

This time, his thinking seemed a little long.

It wasn't until the fire in the church grew stronger and the voices of those struggling for help became weaker and weaker that he suddenly slapped his head.

"That's almost it... there must be many people inside who are seriously injured and need me to save them."

Liu Ping murmured, casually placing the paladin's crown on his head and holding it upright.

He took a sharp breath and said loudly: "Don't be afraid, everyone, in the name of justice and mercy, I am here to save you!"

He inserted the key into the big iron door and turned the lock hard.
