This aura is deadly

"There are many people who don't belong here..." Chen Ke said.

He observed Van Hede, trying to see something, but the life countdown didn't react at all.

"A lot of things have happened here, knight... well, please allow me to call you that, after all, you are wearing our armor." Van Hede said, adding firewood to the fire.

Chen Ke noticed that as soon as Van Hede threw the firewood into the fire, some branches appeared out of thin air around him.

"It's okay, Your Majesty, it's okay... If you are willing to tell me about it, it would be great." Chen Ke smiled.

"Of course, knight... If you don't mind it, I will try to be brief... A long, long time ago... I have forgotten my age... At that time, I was still a wandering swordsman..." Van Hede recalled his life, as if he remembered something worth being happy about, and a smile appeared on his face.

"At that time, I was not a king, and all problems could be solved by a sword..." Van Hede added another handful of firewood, and the fire became more prosperous.

"Being a leader is never an easy thing..." Chen Ke also wanted to add some firewood, but there was only sand around him, so he could only slowly let go of the sand in his hand, pretending to be deep.

"Yes, I may not be a good king, but I once traveled with a man... I learned a lot from him." Van Hede nodded.

"Who is that man?" Chen Ke asked.

"I call him Lear, but others call him Hades." Van Hede replied.

"Hades... Excuse me, this sounds like a murderer..." Chen Ke said.

"No... In fact, it's the opposite. He looks cold but is warm inside... And he really has the ability to bring people back to life..." Van Hede said.

"That's amazing... But why didn't he come to help you?" Chen Ke asked.

Hades Lear? Really has the ability to bring people back to life? If he is so powerful here, how could Van Hede be destroyed?

"We went through some things, all of which were legendary adventures. One day, I suddenly realized that I should also achieve some goals... to pursue something worth fighting for in life, so I parted ways with him." Van Hede answered.

"So... you have no contact with him?" Chen Ke asked.

"You can say that I spent a long time to build my own kingdom, but I can't find him anymore." Van Hede said.

"Since he is the Pluto, it is obvious that he should not die." Chen Ke spread his hands.

"I dare not guarantee this, knight, but what you said makes some sense. Maybe he just doesn't want to contact me." Van Hede did not comment.

"Tell me about your daughter... Faralis..." Chen Ke said cautiously.

"I think you already know that you carry that sword to prove that you have withstood the test." Van Hede pointed to the moonlight sword beside Chen Ke.

"What do you mean..." Chen Ke asked.

"Perhaps you have already seen that this place is already a cursed land. Everything is trapped in a cycle. The dead cannot rest in peace, and the living have no future." Van Hede said.

Chen Ke nodded. It seems that Van Hede not only knows that he has traveled through time, but also knows what kind of place his kingdom has become.

"There is a problem with the time here, Your Majesty, if you can realize it... didn't you try to do something?" Chen Ke couldn't help asking.

"I should have died a long time ago. A long, long time ago, I should have been swallowed by the dark terminal illness and became a member of the soulless... Knight, the methods I have tried are unheard of by you, and the number of times I have tried is countless, but in the end I understand one thing, I am part of the cycle, I am a witness, a guide, and you, Knight, are the first to come to me." Van Hede said.

"What does this mean?" Chen Ke asked.

"This means that all this is meaningful. Knight, I don't know what this means, but at least, I can tell you what your last test is." Van Hede smiled.

"The last test...? Do you mean that this great void is just a test? Are you kidding me?" Chen Ke was a little confused.

"What is the Great Void?" Van Hede asked back.

Van Hede certainly didn't know what his kingdom was called by others.

"This is not... unscientific... This is impossible... Your Majesty! As far as I know, there are more than one place like your kingdom that is trapped in a cycle..." Chen Ke was a little puzzled.

If the Great Void is some kind of test, then there are too many of these tests. After all, as long as you have the blasphemous dagger, you can randomly open the door of the Great Void.

And even if you don't use the blasphemous dagger, many places on the earth will suddenly open a door for no reason.

"I don't know where your doubts come from, knight." Van Hede said.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty... In your time... What is your calendar system...?" Chen Ke asked.

"The year I went on an adventure with Lear was about 1630. It was a good time. I also met Angele during that time... And after I created my own kingdom, it was already 1664." Van Hede said.

"Middle Ages...?" Chen Ke muttered.

"Middle Ages? That's an interesting term. But we generally call it the Age of Dragons." Van Hede laughed.

"Age of Dragons...are there dragons?" Chen Ke asked.

"It's a long story... When I was born, the last dragon in this world died, but later, they came back, which is not a good sign... What do we call it... The Battle of Autumn Twilight?" Van Hede said, his eyes became vague, as if he was pulled into some distant memory by his thoughts.

"Uh... It seems that you have experienced a lot of things, Your Majesty, but looking at the present, what is my last test?" Chen Ke asked.

"Oh... I almost forgot... Look, look ahead." Van Hede pointed to the darkness on the left side of the fire.

Chen Ke looked into the darkness following Van Hede's guidance, but could not see anything.

"There is nothing there." Chen Ke treated Dong Ao.

Van Hede did not speak, and the whole person turned into a stone statue. Chen Ke looked closely and found that it was not Van Hede, but a big stone.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Ke stood up and looked around. Only his voice echoed in the darkness.

At this time, the fire also disappeared. He turned around and saw that the blazing bonfire was reduced to a pile of dry and cold firewood and ashes.

A cool breeze blew, and Chen Ke saw a ray of white light shining into the darkness from not far away. He grabbed the moonlight sword and came to the place where the white light was. It turned out that he was in a crack in the middle of a canyon. Below was an endless grassland, and in the distance were rolling peaks.

It seemed that this church built in the mountain had dug a deep pit down, which was lower than the kingdom itself, but the Vanhede Kingdom itself was built in a valley, so the crack in the deep pit was lower than the kingdom, but it was also above the plain.

"Was it all an illusion just now?" Chen Ke asked in confusion. He turned his head and walked into the darkness, only to see a stone gate on the mountain wall.

It was originally a stone block of Vanhede, and the protruding part was facing the gate.

"Let me see what the test is." Chen Ke pushed the stone door open with force, making a creaking sound and leaving white marks on the ground.

Behind the stone door was a very spacious stone chamber, similar to the place where Faralis was imprisoned, except that this was obviously a man-made room, about 100 meters square, and a woman was imprisoned in the middle.

The woman was sickly thin, wearing a red dress, with long hair dragging on the ground, her face could not be seen, and her arms were as thin as hemp poles.

She was pierced all over her body by iron nails with iron chains at the end, locked at three places: shoulder blades, clavicle, and hip bones. The iron chains were connected to the iron frame used to fix her, and her arms were hung on her head with a thick iron shackle frame column.

Chen Ke carefully looked around the woman.

The back of the dress the woman was wearing was hollowed out, and her back was covered with branding marks and whip marks. Her fingernails were also horribly long, and her hair was black and curly. Her long black hair completely covered her head. Chen Ke always had a premonition that this thing might suddenly raise its head and bite him.

Although Chen Ke didn't know who this woman was, she had obviously suffered a lot of torture in her life, and finally starved to death here and was forgotten by the world.

He couldn't help but be curious and wanted to pick up her hair to see what the woman looked like.

"Who is afraid of who... Can't you bite me?" Chen Ke plucked up his courage. The other party was tied up tightly and was afraid of hair.

So he reached out and gently lifted the woman's long hair, revealing her gloomy and pale face.

As soon as he lifted her hair, Chen Ke regretted it. He saw that the woman's cheeks were completely deflated, her nose was cut off, and there were only two nostril holes on her face. Her lips were also cut off, and her sharp white teeth were exposed, which looked really disgusting.

But the worst thing was that the woman's eyes were open, still looking at him, the whites of her eyes were cloudy, and her pupils were only half exposed like crescents, which reminded him of Sadako.

At this time, a line of small words appeared below Chen Ke's vision:

Crazy Queen Angele.
