[Comprehensive Fairy Tale] The Uncrowned King

Samuel only encountered this kind of thing when he came to the polytheistic area, and sacrifices and sacrifices are also things that can be done in the belief environment here.If he was really a sacrifice as Samuel thought, then his existence should be to prevent the Red Death from rushing out of the castle and not going out to harm people outside.According to this reasoning and the criteria for those people to arrest people, it is obvious that they are targeting the people of the Holy See. Samuel thought about the senior priests who disappeared without reason in the historical records of the Holy See, and suddenly realized where they were going.

Well, this should not be "consecration", but "purification".Only the clergy of the Holy See in the single-divine region have the purest beliefs and the most restraint on the power of demons. Therefore, every period of time, an organization that silently protects world peace captures a clergyman, sacrifices himself to save everyone, and throws them into the city. Definitely makes sense!It’s just that for some reason, there is no record of the Red Death in history at all. Could it be that this is also a you-know-who, involving a story that has to be told?

However, if this is the case, then there is a very serious problem, that is, the officially canonized Holy Son Samuel... He does not know the Holy Power at all, that is to say, he does not have additional purification skills.

In the past, Samuel used the characteristics of destruction and exorcism to pretend to be purified in front of everyone in the single god area. If it is true that only the holy power can restrain the red death, it is because he, a person without holy power, came in—Guan Dalu to die!Anyway, he will die in front of the mainlanders.

Samuel, who was smelling of wine, came out from the corner, looking to see if the Red Death had appeared, but he was disappointed. The seven rooms were all places for the ball, and except for one room, they were all full of surprises. happy people, and they twisted their waists and moved back and forth through the various rooms.Samuel didn't want to sit still, so he could only walk back and forth from room to room, and the fear of death at any time became heavier every moment, and the despair of being alone oppressed him even more, making his clenched hands already sweaty .

——Of course I am alone, since that organization has voted for priests with holy power countless times, the people who are wearing weird masks and laughing wildly here have long since died, and now they are nothing more than phantoms.Perhaps their souls are all controlled by the Red Death. Once new people come, the scene here will be excited. They will dance, talk and laugh again, and then fear and die again, just as a horror set.

Suddenly, the bell rang to tell the time, and Samuel suddenly stopped all his movements and stood stiffly on the spot.The sound of the bell is indescribably weird, it is obviously like the long and melodious bells in the old temple on the barren mountain, but it is monotonous and dull. In short, after hearing the bell that rings every hour, everyone will stop. The dancing people, the musicians of the band, and the sounds of talking and laughing will all become still, and they will listen anxiously, until the sound is over, and everyone will start moving again.

Samuel's heart skipped a beat.Such a bell undoubtedly has a different meaning, it is like a death knell, if it is destroyed, will there be any change?All in all it couldn't be worse.By the way, there are still seven rooms, can some changes be made?

These seven suites are all different, seven rooms, seven colors, seven atmospheres, but none of them can make people feel happy and relaxed, especially the seventh one, that is, the one with such ominous bells Clock, also there.

Samuel had already walked through a room full of blue and was now standing in a room full of purple decorations.As if no one was there, he went back to the blue room and roughly messed up the hanging ornaments and carpets.He tried to change the color of them, but failed, but the destruction could be done, and then he continued to walk from room to room, through green, orange, white, violet rooms, step after step It was a mess, but he felt the real touch of the human body when he passed through the crowd, but those people didn't look sideways because of his actions.

Then Samuel went to the last room.As soon as he stood here, he felt a real fear, and couldn't help but shrink back, as if he was still a child who had nightmares at night because of the description of this room in the book and because of the powerful power of the words.This is a completely dark room, and the layout is different from other Rainbow Squad rooms. At least they can still call it a place for dancing, and this place can only remind people of the place where the dead should stay.No one dared to come here in this room.

The layout is all black. The black velvet curtain covering the whole room will trap people here, but it is not pure black. The color of the windows is red like blood, full of fishy smell, which reminds Samuel of the Red Death easily. Such a terrible term as disease.It was cold here, and with a fire in his hand, Samuel went to the window and brought the fire to the curtains, but the flames flickered and then went out.Samuel didn't force it either, he fumbled to open the window, but it didn't work, as if the window was born with it, and there was no function to open it at all.Samuel habitually touched the sword from his waist, but he couldn't touch anything. Only then did he remember that his sharp long sword was not here at all, and he was unarmed now.

There is no light source in the other rooms, the light seems to be brought by the color of those rooms themselves, only this one, there is a tripod in front of the window, just like in the older period, there is a lit brazier on the tripod, translucent The flames reflected the black curtain for a while, and the scarlet glass windows for a while, creating a terrifying visual effect.Samuel extinguished one of the braziers, picked up an iron tripod, and threw it directly at the glass window.

Once, twice, three times, the seemingly fragile glass windows are as strong as modern anti-riot glass. Under his attack, even a crack did not appear. Samuel's heart became heavier and heavier. Undoubtedly, this Everything in the house further reflected the traces of the existence of the Red Death.He tried again with all his strength, from the black curtains hanging on the walls, to the stained glass windows, and finally only managed to extinguish all the braziers standing on tripods here.The room became pitch black, and the only light source was the flame in Samuel's hand, but the darkness was too deep, I don't know if it was an illusion, Samuel felt that the flame in his hand was crumbling with the wind that didn't exist, and the light was dim.

Another bell rang, and Samuel froze again, but this time he was much better than the first time he heard it. He counted the number of rings this time, eleven, and unconsciously he was already deadlocked here An hour passed, and it was almost midnight.

At midnight, thinking of this, Samuel was startled again.He was surprised more times tonight, and the content of the surprise this time seemed even less important.

He remembered that at such an important moment as midnight, when something always happened, there was of course a deep meaning in this article.Those people who were in joy met the red demon who appeared in the crowd just after hearing the twelve bells.He turned his head and saw the same all-black big seed sitting in the corner of the room, which he almost ignored.If the clock is smashed, will midnight still come?

Not thinking about whether it could be smashed, Samuel picked up the tripod still in his hand.The bracket was so good for a weapon that Samuel had decided to use it in place of his sword for the time being.He swung the tip of the bracket towards the big clock, but the big clock fell to the ground unexpectedly, Samuel didn't wait to think about it, a sense of joy prompted his hands to keep moving, and he kept waving towards the clock , Soon, this clock that can emit terrifying bells turned out to be the same fragile thing here, and it was easily turned into a piece of debris under Samuel's destruction—the glass protecting the dial was shattered into slag, The exposed dial was cracked several times, and the hour, second, and minute hands were pulled out by Samuel, and they crooked into a distorted shape on the ground.

A burst of pleasure rose from his heart, prompting Samuel to keep moving, even though these residues could no longer be called clocks, he still destroyed them until he was tired.

Samuel, who finally stopped, vaguely felt that something was wrong with his emotions, and he just blamed it on being disturbed by this weird atmosphere.It was impossible to know the time now, and Samuel glanced at the debris on the ground again before stepping out of the black room.

The masked people were still laughing and talking, Samuel passed by them, and they would be squeezed out of his way by Samuel, but they would not look at him or speak to him.The special effects are also too unrealistic, or is it that the Red Death deliberately made it like this, just to let people know that there is something weird?

Samuel is still a little anxious, and still has no idea how to deal with the Red Death. He walks around in one room, his eyes moving back and forth among the different and depressing colors, but he feels disgusted, so he stops at In contrast, the white room, which can still be used in a daze, quietly leans against the wall and forces himself to wait.The Red Death will definitely appear in front of him, and he doesn't need to take the initiative to find it.

Unable to look at the time, time has become an immeasurable unit, and I just stand, thoughts flashing through my brain, thinking that time will pass quickly, but I dare not face the past time.He maintained a posture, and his legs and feet were so sore that he didn't know it. He just opened his eyes and stared blankly at the front.

But the bell rang again.How could it ring, Zhong Mingming was smashed by him!Samuel was shocked and wanted to look in the direction of the black room, but his body stiffened spontaneously, and he automatically followed the voice to count.One, two, three... twelve.

The bells stopped and it was midnight.
