The Modern Age of the Mysterious

Sean would often later recall the first time he stepped into the lobby of the Kings Club.

It was not until he entered this spacious hall that he discovered that the interior of this mysterious mansion was originally a patio-like structure.

The dark sky outside the dome shone distinctly. On the way, the dark clouds began to gather, and at this moment, the thunderstorm clouds of spring came over the city of New Covenant. The rumbling sound came from afar, like the sound of a giant tower in heaven collapsing. Then, with his sensitive hearing, Sean heard a few drops of rain hitting the glass sky.

The seven King-level staggered branches were in front of them, looking at themselves one after another. Sean glanced at them one by one and greeted them with his gaze.

There were two people standing next to the bar table closest to the door, apparently having a conversation before Sean came in. One is "the kleptocrat who will be enthroned soon" and the other is "Red Dragon".

The kleptocrat has a martini in his hand, while the red dragon holds his whisky.

Not far behind them, that is, in the center of the patio, there was a five-meter square stage, and Sean's eyes couldn't help but stay on the ongoing performance.

In the darkness below the stage, a small orchestra could be seen playing a waltz. The members of the band were all wet, and their skin hidden in the darkness was blue-purple. They were submerged from their ankles in the water, as if they were playing at the seaside at high tide. Sean saw the lead violinist pull the strings quickly, and the water droplets on his hair were thrown into the light, crystal clear.

A pair of pale dancers on the stage were dancing a double waltz, their movements leaving a messy phantom in the space, and even if you stared carefully, you couldn't make out their faces. Dancing is a pair of evil spirits.

The man standing under the stage glanced at Sean, then turned around and continued to enjoy the performance. His slender body was wrapped in a black wrap dress, and the mask was like a huge black centipede coiling around his face. Under the bright black carapace, there was obviously a pulse of life - the worm was squirming on his face. "Black Worm Bishop".

Sean looked to the left, where there was a long table, and the surrounding scene caught his attention.

Around the long table are nine high-backed seats, each with a different illusion around it. There are three people sitting in their seats at the moment.

In one of them, there was a wasteland with huge rubble scattered around his mask, and half a skeleton appeared in the sky like a huge planet illuminated by sunlight. Customized mask "Titan's Skeleton Man".

The explorer sitting face to face with the burial man, Sean was a little surprised that he had a relationship with him - it was obviously Benjamin Button's uncle, Jess Button, who once faced the super Ace-level Kennedy and did not retreat. The half-step imperial pattern musketeer, at this moment, he was very arrogant and sat down safely.

After staring for a while, Sean was sure that the style of the high-back chair they were sitting on had something to do with their masks. The skeleton's chair is surrounded by huge moor rocks, while the Musketeer's chair has a golden pattern on a white background unique to the Royal Musketeers.

Sean finally saw her from a position away from the Musketeer. Catherine Headey, wearing her King-class mask "The Golden Queen," or "The Splendid Finale," sat in her place with arms folded. Her high-back chair presents the atmosphere of a golden theater, and under the illusory velvet curtain, various gorgeous Phantoms of the Opera shuttle back and forth.

Cathy. Sean pondered silently in his heart. The touch of her eyes with his own made him feel at ease. Sean looked away at the precise time to find the last King.

The figure stood on the balcony in the distance. At this moment, the storm is about to come, and the boundless black clouds cover the sky.

Under the cloudy cloud, half of his face is a pale saint, and half of his face is a black fallen. The saint's face stretches out a single wing with broken feathers, and behind his head hangs a huge moon, and the silver moon looks like a fallen full of dust. Customized mask "Salea of ​​the Wings".

Sean knew him, recognized as the strongest King class. Has Ace-level strength, but has not chosen to be promoted for a long time.

Sean frowned. He didn't like the aura emanating from him. That kind of breath is more like the opposite of the explorer than that of the explorer.

"Oh! The new king is finally here!" The slightly exaggerated voice stopped Sean's staring at Sally Yew, Sean drew his attention back, and greeted him with open arms in front of "the kleptocrat who will soon ascend to the throne." "A slanderer", a promoted "slanderer".

The Kleptocrat has a smiling face that turns bright red from ecstasy. Above his head, there is an illusory crown slowly spinning, which seems to fall on his head at any time...

"Welcome, Mr. Evernight Ark!" He stretched out his hand, and Sean shook it.

The red dragon on the side put down the wine glass in his hand and said: "The sea of ​​​​light, I have long admired the name." He turned around and looked in the direction of the golden queen: "Break the promotion record of Violet Nightingale and become the second fastest in history. King-level explorer..."

Catherine in the distance maintained her proud personality and turned her eyes away in disdain.

"The future is limitless." The red dragon is burly, with a mask like a samurai helmet in the shape of a dragon's head. He gave a face salute, and Sean returned the salute.

"Since everyone is here, let's sit down and talk." The music entered the next song, and the two-person waltz on the stage changed into black dance clothes, like two shadows spinning. The Kleptocrats and the Red Dragon brought Sean to the long table.

Sean quickly found his seat - there was a black tide surging around the chair, and when he sat in it, the ark in the center of the mask also illuminated the surrounding waves.

"Amazing weather." The emperor-patterned musketeer sighed in a low voice.

The Golden Queen sat opposite her and seemed unmoved.

When everyone got into their chairs, Sean found a high-back chair that was empty. There is a stone ring door behind its chair, and a white lily bush swaying gently under its feet, that is…

Seeing Sean's sight, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The Kleptocrat explained: "That is another member of the club, the seat of the guard of the kingdom of God, and we have no news of him."

"There are rumors that he died in Midnight Paradise."

"Midnight Paradise?" Sean asked naturally, "Is it the upheaval that happened in Kensington Gardens?" He has already planned the amount of information he can grasp, and no one will know that he has defeated the arrogant by leaps and bounds. The bastard, he destroyed Midnight Paradise.

"That's right." Red Dragon nodded, "That's where Midnight Paradise is."

Bishop Black Worm laughed, his voice gloomy: "That fool... he could capsize in that kind of place..."

"We should show basic respect to our dead colleagues." The Emperor Musketeer's voice contained restrained anger, "If there is no such awe, I am afraid that what happened to him will happen to you and me sooner or later. ."

The black centipede squirmed quietly on its face, making a creepy cicada chirping. The bishop seemed unmoved.

"Let's talk about Tarot." The Titan mortuary said in a low voice, "There seems to be a King-class outside the system in this incident."

Sean didn't react at all on the surface, but he cleared his throat slightly in his heart - I didn't expect that he had just stepped into the King's Club, and was only going to be a quiet audience with little knowledge, but the first two rumors he heard were all his own "handwriting". ".

Guys, can we talk about something else...? He thought helplessly in his heart.
