fallen devil

Chapter 253 Sweeping of the Palace III, Act III
"What do you mean by that?"

"Your Excellency, don't make such a reckless move?"

The two holy officials got up from their seats, the shock on their faces disappeared for a moment, and then turned into solemnity.

The warriors who can stand by the prince's side are, without exception, human beings with special powers. Just like the Silver Knights of the Principality of Westmarch, they have the strength not inferior to ordinary professionals. The devil's second greatest weapon.

It is also a sharp knife in the hands of those in high positions.

"You didn't understand the true meaning of this feather."

Under the watchful eyes of the two holy officials, the middle-aged man gently stretched out his hand and stroked the black feather on the silver plate.

"Choosing to send back this jet-black feather means that she will never come back again, which is really heartbreaking."

The middle-aged man had no expression on his face, and looked up at the two holy officials with increasingly gloomy eyes, "Do you understand, I didn't settle accounts with you Guangming Cathedral nine years ago because I deliberately spared your lives."

"Now it's time to settle the scores of the past."

After a pause, his voice was a little low, "It is also intriguing to send this feather back after nine years. As for the reason, I will explore it myself."

Soon, two haggard-looking holy officials were suppressed by the warriors.

The middle-aged man frowned, sitting in his seat and meditating.

"This feather, I remember, is the token of the 'Black Crow'. Dorothy has owned it very early, and used it to motivate the 'Black Crow' to obtain a lot of secrets."

"She was forced to go to Kanduras because she knew too many secrets. Now that she is sending it back, is she trying to restore the power of the 'Dark Raven'?"

An ordinary warrior approached, took off his mask, and revealed a handsome face somewhat similar to that of a middle-aged man, with some doubts.

"Dorothy's death does not need to be confirmed, it has become a fact, has someone found her bones..."

Shaking his head slightly, the young man touched his chin again and continued: "Anyway, since this black feather has been sent back, the 'Black Crow' will be commanded by the owner, if possible. Can you follow along? This thread finds that person?"

"You don't understand yet."

The middle-aged man stared at the black feather, and said in a heavy tone, "'The Black Crow' is an organization that she set up alone. It was dismantled when she left Kanduras nine years ago, and the whereabouts of the core members are unknown. , what remains here are empty shells and some useless documents.”

"so?"

The young man opened his mouth in surprise.

"About the method and whereabouts of the 'Black Crow', only Dorothy knows from the beginning to the end, and this feather will undoubtedly be sent back by Dorothy."

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly. "She had doubts about me at the beginning. Returning this feather now is probably to prove that she is not dead. In addition, she wants to find out what happened before."

"Not dead? Heh, this impulsive style really resembles her."

The young man pursed his lips and then said: "Maybe he was made into a zombie. Just treat this as a joke."

Then he bowed respectfully and left the palace.

"With this, Guangming Cathedral owes me an explanation."

The middle-aged man pinched the shining feather and then said to himself, "The demon disaster in the west has always been a problem, so they can take the lead."

···
The third floor of the catacombs, the Palace of Blood.

In front of the Bone Throne, in the astonished eyes of fourteen professionals, a thin figure with a height similar to Tang Ze stepped out of the lavender light curtain.

The four long arms gradually became clear, each holding a sharp long knife gleaming with cold light, and the armor on his body was a typical desert style.

This dark golden sand knight is undoubtedly the monster of the second act, and it is also a good seed with medium intelligence. In fact, after Tang Ze upgraded to Lv21, the number of monsters available for the Gate of Confused Words has increased significantly.

Its attributes are not outstanding among the more than 50 dark gold monsters that Tang Ze has summoned recently, but it is the most suitable to replace Tang Ze in the Blood Palace.

"The cathedral is located in a remote place, and the Blood Palace has not been fully restored. In the near future, you must cooperate with it to completely restore this place."

Tang Ze continued: "The next time I return, it will be the time when I need to draw a sufficient number of demon teams."

He is going to leave here for a while. Although he plans to use the Blood Palace as his headquarters, there are still a lot of things that he needs to deal with at the manor in the black wasteland. If the manor and the Blood Palace want to be connected as a whole, he must run back and forth Make a couple of trips to make a connection.

At the same time, he had to personally ask the countess about the current situation of the professionals, and draw a clear line with the professional front led by the Rogue camp as soon as possible, so that it would be better if they could suppress and force them back.

The so-called replacing Andariel, plundering the land, and becoming the new king is all about it.

"Among the 14 of you, are there any professionals who are familiar with the situation in Khanduras?"

Upon hearing Tang Ze's question, the fourteen professionals shook their heads and continued to maintain a respectful posture.

Only the female knight Mei hesitated and said, "Master, as far as I know, a group of the best professionals in Kanduras have joined the battle line, and the most prominent professional seems to be the undead named Hof Mage."

After Hof turned into an angel, he was killed in the stone wilderness. At that time, he was still hostile to the professional group.

"Then stay here and wait for my return."

A little disappointed, if there is a local professional in Candullas, he can take that person to the manor in the black wasteland to discuss the next battle against the Candurans professional front and the human kingdom.

But right now, these fourteen professionals are all elites from all over the mainland, and they will definitely come in handy in the future.

With a simple move, a bloated red scarab demon emerged from the shadows and lay down respectfully at Tang Ze's feet. After Tang Ze rode on it, it vibrated its transparent wings and turned into a phantom towards the Blood Palace. rushed towards the door, and disappeared into the darkness within a few breaths.

"call."

Coincidentally, these fourteen professionals all breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Tang Ze had completely left.

Facing such a powerful existence, their pressure is still too great.

"You are preparing to reshape your body. This is one of the reasons why the master keeps you here."

The deep voice came from behind, realizing that it was the voice of the sand knight, the hearts of the fourteen professionals rose again.

But after understanding what it said, the fourteen professionals were stunned at the same time.

"What do you mean, we can still reshape the body?"

A barbarian put down his hand on the side of his head in a daze, his tone and expression were indescribably surprised.

Including Dorothy, the fourteen professionals all had the same idea, which felt very incredible.

The soul has regained its strength, and the flesh and blood are reborn, which is tantamount to resurrecting the dead, even in the eyes of these professionals, it is unbelievable.

"This is one of the abilities of the Blood Palace discovered by the master."

The sand knight looked calmly and looked at the pool of blood outside the gate. "The pool of blood has the ability to reshape flesh and blood. Monsters entering it can strengthen their flesh, zombies entering it can repair their flesh and blood, and skeletons entering it can regenerate their bodies."

"But you are slightly different. The pool of blood was originally cast from your flesh and blood, but if you enter it with human souls attached to human bones, there may be mutations."

"The master once said that this is your own choice. In addition, only one person can be rebuilt every month. This is the upper limit of the blood pool. After all, you are not ordinary demons and monsters. To a certain extent, you are repelled by the power of blood. , every time a piece of flesh is reshaped, more energy will be consumed.”

Reshaping the body is an exciting thing to think about, especially for these 14 people whose bones are already cold.

But when she heard that there would be a change, the female among the 14 people hesitated immediately.

Even if they become the subordinates of the devil, it is still difficult to completely throw away human values. If it is said that they become a demon with a face that is not present, they are naturally unwilling.

"Interesting, it's really interesting."

The barbarian with the demon tattoo and the druid brothers looked at each other and laughed.

"Can you reshape your body now? Just attach your soul to your own bones, and then jump into the pool of blood?"

The older brother, the barbarian, stepped out of the crowd and looked directly at the tall sand knight.

"The room next to the bones has been sorted out and separated. You can look for them by yourself."

The sand knight nodded, and took a deep look at the barbarian.

"I don't care what it looks like."

With a disdainful smile, the barbarian strode toward another room under the complicated gazes of others, and came out holding a piece of corpse.

"Can we go and watch?"

The female knight Mei was a little moved, looking at the figure of the barbarian walking towards the gate quickly, and looking at the sand knight with some flattery.

As soon as this remark came out, the rest of the professionals all looked over in unison.

"Please."

The sand knight made a faint sound, and then he did not forget to add, "The master estimated that the recasting time of flesh and blood is one to two days, and try not to get too close, the pool of blood has a certain degree of damage to wandering souls. In addition, Complete the task assigned to you by the master as soon as possible."

Its majesty was exactly the same as Tang Ze's, and it brought great pressure to the thirteen professionals.

"When will the master return? What if we completely regain the Blood Palace?"

An Amazon frowned, "Are we waiting here?"

As soon as the words fell, two flickering sharp edges lit up, like pale moonlight, flashing away.

The Amazon's arms were directly cut off, and the intense pain made her face pale, and she retreated with a groan. She looked at the Sand Knight in front of her who was slowly sheathing her sword in fear, and her heart felt cold.

"Death is not a sin, but punishment is to cut off your arms."

The sand knight's dark yellow eyes were icy cold. Obviously, its actions just now greatly frightened these professionals.

Some questions don't need to be asked, and as for Tang Ze's itinerary, it is even more forbidden to ask, which is obviously a taboo in its view.

This Amazon accidentally got into trouble and suffered.

The twelve professionals next to them all gasped inwardly, looked at the arms that were slowly dissipating on the ground, did not dare to speak more, those who left left, those who went to the blood pool to watch went to the blood pool, no one wanted to stay in this Beside Sand Knight.

Except for the group headed by Dorothy, there are four female assassins in total.

"My lord, I would like to make a request."

She saluted gracefully, and at the same time said in a low voice, "That's what I talked to the master about earlier."

At the same time, the cold eyes of the Sand Knight flickered, as if searching for the message Tang Ze left for it.

"I don't know anything about this. We'll talk about it when the master comes back."

The tone was very cold, leaving Dorothy speechless for a while, and the latter could only say helplessly: "I understand."

What she wanted to talk about was rebuilding the "Black Crow". The black feathers in hand had already been released. The reappearance of this token would soon spread throughout the country she was in before, and then reach every core member's place. In the corner, when the time comes, she only needs to reveal where she is now, and her former subordinates will be able to follow her.

The three female assassins who had been following her were actually her most trusted subordinates of the three pitch-black crows. Even if they were dismantled, they still followed her to Kanduras to die without any complaints.

The pitch-black crow has always been her pride, although she was forced to die because of knowing too many secrets, but this time, under Tang Ze's protection, she will get a space to play to her fullest.

"No secret can be hidden."

This is the sharpness of the Black Crow.

But for now, she still has to wait for a while. Although it is a bit painful, there is no other way.

With the three female assassins looking disappointed, Dorothy quickly left the Palace of Blood.

After a long time, there were only the Sand Knights waiting on the side of the Bone Throne and some dark gold monsters hiding in the dark in the entire Blood Palace.

The whispers gradually echoed.

"Tell me about the second level of the Catacombs."

"Recover the corridors and each room as soon as possible, and no mistakes are allowed."

"Exclude all monsters with torture marks, and kill them all."

"In addition, the inner and outer cloisters outside the cathedral, as well as the green fields, forests, and mountains near the monastery gate must also be in accordance with the owner's requirements..."

The Sand Knight, who immediately threw himself into his work, looked towards a certain corner, and several black shadows flitted out, communicating with it in devil language.

The operation of the Blood Palace is very orderly, including recovery activities and cleaning activities, all proceeding smoothly under the command of the Sand Knight.

There was an undercurrent surging, and the dark clouds above the cathedral seemed to be getting darker.
