dark cloud

The gorgeous and magnificent European-style castle is shrouded in darkness under the night, the mysterious and eerie silence is like a monster that has been suppressed for a long time, and even the surrounding air is stagnant.

A slender figure was wearing a large black robe, holding a candlestick and walking slowly along the long steps. The two-meter-wide steps seemed to extend infinitely forward, and there was no end in sight at a glance. He could hear his own footsteps.

The candle in his hand was the only light in this dark corridor, and the surrounding blue boulder walls were icy cold. If he stayed in such an environment for a long time, it might become more and more unbearable because of the fear of darkness.

But that figure has been walking forward in an orderly manner, with steady steps and even breathing, and the surrounding depression has hardly affected him in any way.

The straight-forward staircase is actually extending downward with a very small range. If there is no accurate measurement, this small range cannot be found at all.

The surrounding air became colder and colder as it went down, and the exhaled air turned into a white mist visible to the naked eye. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally saw a door at the end of the long staircase.

The closed gate is five meters high, and there are two braziers burning raging flames on both sides. There is no combustible material in the braziers, but the flames are burning intermittently, and the red flames illuminate through the huge door.

From a distance, there is nothing unusual about that door, but when you walk in and take a closer look, you will find that the door is a stone door made of unknown stone, and the surface of the stone door is so black that it shines There are densely packed words engraved on it, and the grotesque patterns on the door are indescribably weird. The only thing that can be seen clearly is the closed one eye in the middle.

The figure came to the stone gate and said something in a low voice, only to see that one eye on the stone gate suddenly opened a thin slit slowly, and the crimson blood shot out from the slit and swept across the man's body. Pass.

A low roar with anger suddenly sounded, the deafening sound made the ground start to shake, the flames on both sides of the stone gate seemed to have life, turned into two ferocious dogs and beasts and rushed towards the man, and they were about to be killed by the dogs. and the teeth of the beast tore in pieces.The man still knelt there motionless, he didn't know if he was frightened or he was too calm.

Dogs and beasts transformed into flames came before him, and when the scorching heat was less than five centimeters away from the hair on his forehead, the words on the stone gate suddenly lit up again, and then a small door opened on the stone gate, and the flames The dog and beast howled and reluctantly retreated into the brazier and turned into a burning flame again.

The man patted the dust and wrinkles on his body, and the bright flames illuminated his face. It was a handsome and mature face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a pair of slender phoenix eyes between his resolute brows faintly revealed through his smile. with seductive caresses.

Without hesitation, he held the candlestick and walked into the small door. When his figure disappeared into the small door, the words on the stone door lit up again, and the small door disappeared in the blink of an eye. The one eye slowly closed, the low growls from around gradually dissipated, and everything returned to calm.

The scene inside the stone gate and outside the stone gate are like two extremes, one is extremely dark and frightening, while the other is like a paradise in a dream.

A majestic temple is suspended above the milky white stone pillars and steps. The temple exudes a soft and sacred light. Lush plants and delicate flowers surround the temple, and white doves representing peace fly over the temple from time to time.

The palace of worry-free, the place of happiness and pleasure, the yearning of countless people, the destination that countless people dreamed of for a lifetime but could not reach, he couldn't help stretching out his hand, but he still couldn't touch that temple.

Sadness spreads...

"If you don't want to die, don't watch it anymore." A voice came from behind him.

He suddenly came back to his senses and retracted his outstretched hand, then turned around, and respectfully saluted the person behind him.

Behind him is also a suspended high platform. On the high platform, ten chairs form a circle. On the chairs sit ten people with different faces. There are old men, middle-aged uncles, middle-aged beautiful women, and young and handsome people. Young people, they all sat around with indifferent expressions.

There is an altar in the middle where they sit, and on the altar is a blue and transparent coffin. From a distance, you can see that the coffin is covered with white flowers, and one of the flowers can be vaguely seen. silhouette.

"See you elders."

The ten people on the high platform all looked sideways at him, but they only turned their eyes after a slight glance. Among the ten people, the young and handsome man propped his chin and said to a middle-aged man opposite him with dissatisfaction. : "William, you're taking sides with him again."

The middle-aged man called William also had a handsome and mature face, and a pair of blue eyes like the sea swept across the young man, "Bo Saixi, you should stop in moderation."

Bo Saixi curled his lips and said in dissatisfaction: "The filthy blood on his body is very annoying." He looked at the man who was kneeling before them and saluted, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in his indifferent eyes, "Adolf, you Do you resent me for hating you so much? If it weren't for the other half of your blood, you would have been a dead person long ago."

Adolf lowered his head, and a cold light flashed in his slender phoenix eyes: "Elder Bo Saixi is right, but the resentment in my blood will only point to one place, and that is the Holy See!"

A middle-aged beautiful woman next to William said with a charming smile: "I feel happy every time I see you, Adolf, you are such a good boy."

Another middle-aged beautiful woman with a noble temperament frowned and said coldly: "This is not a place for you to chat."

The active atmosphere returned to the freezing point because of the words of the noble and beautiful woman, and the old man with a white beard sitting at the top said: "Adolf, you have done a good job, the mission entrusted to you by the family will soon come to an end. .”

Adolf's pupils shrank suddenly, and he glanced at the blue coffin on the altar and sneered in his heart: These self-righteous old guys!

The noble and beautiful woman said coldly: "Although the end is coming to an end, this is also the most critical moment. I don't want any accidents, Adolf, you go back and continue to do your finishing work, and make sure there are no accidents in the middle .”

"Is it an accident for the people of the Rimer family?" Adolf asked suddenly.

The old man with a white beard looked over and said, "You mean Diris Rimmer? Although his bloodline is infinitely close to the third generation of the ancients, he is still too young. There are some things that he cannot control Yes, don't worry about him, even if he appears, it can't change the ending."

"Okay, you go back and remember your responsibilities!" William looked at Adolf with blue eyes, a trace of helplessness and regret flashed in his indifferent eyes, and there seemed to be some warmth and warmth, but these complex expressions disappeared It's too fast for people to tell the difference.

With Adolf's departure, the atmosphere of the round table meeting became serious again.

The noble and beautiful woman said in a deep voice: "The artifact of the witch clan has already appeared, as long as it reunites with its owner, then we can start preparing for the ceremony, Sophia, it is best not to let Eden leave your range of perception. "

The young woman who kept her head down and was holding a white crystal ball in her arms nodded slightly. She stroked the crystal ball as if she was petting her pet, and said in a soft and ethereal voice, "Oriental mysterious world, many enchantments, green dragons Emperor Zun's territory, perception, is very difficult."

Bo Saixi laughed evilly: "The day the artifact appeared, he awakened out of control and killed so many people. The things in the Eastern Realm are really interesting. Just look, he will definitely not hide in the world just to find the artifact. Qingdi's territory is too long."

"At this time, we should not take it lightly. Although Ruolana's great prophecy has predicted that the ceremony will be held smoothly, everything will never be absolute. Don't let it go to waste after thousands of years of waiting." The old man with a white beard said slowly. road.

"Yes, Great Elder, we have been waiting for too long, this time we will definitely succeed!" Everyone's indifferent faces began to be stained with excitement.

The snow-white dove fluttered its wings over the temple, and the divine soft light made everything around it look so beautiful and holy. Suddenly, the light on the dome dimmed, and the glorious and sacred temple was gradually engulfed in darkness. For 1 minute, although the temple was still standing in midair, it exuded an evil and dark atmosphere. Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as a magic temple.

The white dove turned into a bat with scarlet blood wings, and the plants surrounding the magic hall turned into countless thorns, and the black branches and leaves and the black flowers exuded a foul smell.
