Endless Debt.

Chapter 143 Pillar of King Power
The crimson figure stood in the wind. He was wearing a thick iron armor. The silver-white armor was inlaid with patterns outlined by gold threads. The red mane extended from the helmet like long hair. As they passed by, they swayed one after another, like flying fireworks.

Seeing the man's arrival, the attendants on the side saluted and said in awe.

"Lord Grain."

"Glaine? It's been a long time since anyone called me that," the man's eyes revealed troubled emotions, and then he said, "It's better to call me the sixth seat... or the red dog, compared to Grain , I like the name better."

The attendant stared at the man's bright red-flame appearance, and he thought, perhaps the red lion is more suitable for men than the red dog.

"His Majesty is waiting for you."

The attendants bowed to get out of the way, and the armored soldiers guarding here raised their crossed halberds one after another. Under the huge arch, there were layers of gray and white stones.

The red dog raised his head, looked through the arch, and looked at the only lonely mountain in the royal city, and the palace of wonders growing wildly on top of the lonely mountain.

The thick stone pillars are carved out of the steep cliffs, and it crawls along the mountain like a snake winding around the trees, covering the mountain with endless buildings.

The entire mountain top was leveled, and the labyrinth-like royal palace was located here, connecting with the buildings stretching on the cliffs of the mountain, and then towering spiers rose from the ground, as if they were about to pierce into the sea of ​​clouds.

Countless statues of griffins are located on top of the spiers. They seem to come from the sea of ​​clouds. The strong wind passes between the towering spiers, roaring like thunder, as if these griffins came alive, they hissed With a roar, it will swoop down to the earth and bite the invading enemy.

"What does it feel like to live here? It should be very lonely and desolate."

Looking at the king's residence, the red dog couldn't help but comment.

When everyone sees it, they will be amazed at the craftsman's horrific skills, and can't help but worship it as a great achievement of the gods, but the red dog feels that all this is a bit flashy.

Magnificent, but full of death, high above the mortal world, but unable to touch the real sky.

For a long time, countless craftsmen have devoted their lives to this huge and treacherous building, and it is even said that many people have spent their entire lives in this building.

At first it was just a palace on the top of the mountain. With the development of the Kogadel Empire, it became more and more magnificent, as if it was alive, and it continued to grow.

Soon, this building devoured all the rocks on the top of the mountain, and then it emptied the interior of the mountain, breaking the shackles of the lonely mountain, and the stone pillars like skeletons were exposed outside the mountain, turning themselves into stone pillars piercing the sky .

Pillars of Kingship.

This is its name, the residence of the Kogadel royal family, the core of the royal city, and the core of the empire.

The gray stone steps at the foot spread to the foot of the mountain, and then led into the building surrounding the mountain, and the spiral long steps went straight to the palace on the top of the mountain.

The red dog stepped on the stone steps and walked into the interior of the Pillar of Kingship. He didn't see another person along the way. The whole Pillar of Kingship was extremely quiet. Only when the wind blows, they will hit the syrinx placed on the outer edge of the building. , Borrowing the wind, they burst out a sacred and ethereal rhythm.

I heard from some old people who lived in the Pillar of Kingship that it was very lively inside the Pillar of Kingship. The court musicians played music day and night. Patrol back and forth on the steps.

But all of this disappeared when the King of Slaughter triggered the Bloody Night. After that, the Pillar of Kingship dispersed everyone and completely closed itself. No one can enter it except for the king's summons.

After that, the Pillar of Kingship was completely isolated from the outside world, and no one knew what happened in it, even the king's secret sword.

Sometimes when Red Dog looks at the Pillar of King Power, he can't help but think, maybe there is weirdness and madness bred here, but no one can see what it looks like before it breaks out.

After a long journey, the red dog finally reached the top of the mountain. He stepped on the bright red carpet and advanced in the quiet atrium, surrounded by huge high walls, which were like cliffs and almost blocked all the light.

"His Majesty."

Finally, the red dog came to the throne, he knelt on one knee and bowed his head.

The steps are piled up high, lifting the throne to a high place. Everyone who wants to see the throne needs to look up, but even if they look up, all they can see is the light falling from the dome, and under the light, casts the shadow of the throne.

I didn't see another person along the way, and the red dog was thinking that he killed the king here, and no one should know.

"Red Dog."

A deep and hoarse voice sounded, the king spoke, and the red dog threw away all the messy thoughts in his mind.

He knew very well who he was facing, and maybe the king in front of him would be the most tyrannical king in Kogadel's history.

After all, he was the one who created the Bloody Night and was known as the King of Slaughter.

"As His Majesty wished, we have collected a large number of philosopher's stones and have delivered them to the white servants."

The white servant is the attendant who guides the red dog under the pillar of royal power. After the bloody night, only the king and the white servants who serve him live in this treacherous and magnificent palace. Even the king's secret sword cannot Dive into it.

"It's just that there were some accidents in the collection of Oath City Opals. The Bureau of Order attacked us, and no one survived."

"Is that so? It's a pity. I was looking forward to Mammon's power," the king said in a disappointed tone. "It seems destined that Mammon's power will not leave Opus, even if we find someone who can solidify his power." Method."

The liquid spirit potion was made of mammon coins, which contained a trace of strange power. The king thought he could usurp this power, but it still disappeared, just like fate.

"Fortunately, there are other Philosophers' Stones . . . you've done a good job of that, Red Dog."

The king praised, his voice echoed in the dome, it was obviously a soft whisper, but when it reached the red dog's ear, it turned into a rumbling thunder, and when he looked up, he could not see the king, only the man bathed in the sun Silhouette, as if you are talking to the gods.

"Now, I have a new mission for you."

……

The red dog left, with a new mission, the iron boots stepped on the ground, the clear voice echoed, and gradually went away.

The king looked at the direction where the red dog was leaving, and then moved his gaze to the throne behind him.

Perhaps the red dog couldn't guess that the king is not actually on the throne. For the current king, the throne is too big and too high. His cowardly flesh and blood body is not enough to support him on the throne.

"What a terrible price to pay..."

Looking at his mummy-like palms, the king whispered.

Since the bloody night, the king has hardly appeared in the eyes of the world. It is even said that most of the king's secret swords have never really seen the king. Even if they are awarded the secret sword, it is done by the white servants.

Everyone has different guesses about the king, but no one would have guessed that the current king looks so crooked, his body presents a strange sickness, and the black spots of death are all over his body.

The sallow skin covered the bones, and his body was as emaciated as a mummy. He was only covered with a layer of gray cloth to cover his body.

The white servants came out of the darkness, silently raised the chair under the king, and followed him away.

Without the king's instructions, the white servants knew where to go next. They advanced in this maze-like pillar of kingship, took the elevator, and descended in the deep tunnel.

Over the past hundred years, craftsmen have dug through the mountain, making the space of the Pillar of Kingship far more complicated than it looks from the outside world. In the dark, the sound of the king's painful breathing can be heard, but only his breathing sound, and the white servants are like corpses. , without breathing or making a sound, just faithfully executing orders.

The descent lasted for more than ten minutes. They seemed to have crossed the ground and fell into the depths of the ground. There was a condensed smell in the darkness, as if countless pieces of meat and limbs were piled up in the dark corners.

The stench became stronger, as if they had stepped into a monster's cave. Ordinary people would spit it out disgustingly when they smelled this smell, but the king's face rarely showed a look of enjoyment, even with his sick body It was a little bloody.

The gate opened, and the goal was a huge underground space, with dark rocks all over the head, but near the ground, it was covered with red moss... No, this is not moss, but flesh and blood twisted like moss , bud-like tentacles swaying, crawling all over the rock wall.

The air was damp and corrupt, the king struggled to stand up, his figure staggered, and walked forward. At the end of the moss of flesh and blood, a bright red lake was stagnant.

The most eye-catching crimson color floated above it, like a big lake filled with blood. As the king approached, ripples set off on the surface of the lake, and then the ripples boiled, and even the entire cave was trembling violently, as if something Something huge has woken up.

The white servants came forward, carrying heavy boxes in their hands. They opened the box one step ahead of the king, and scattered a lot of philosopher's stones into the lake of blood, but this still failed to restrain the restlessness until the huge Large, bloodshot white tentacles floated from under the lake.

It danced wildly in the air, rolled up the white servants near the lake, dragged them into the blood along with the Philosopher's Stone, and then there were bursts of chewing sounds of teeth crushing bones.

Instead of being afraid, the king quickened his pace and yelled at the restless lake.

"Your loyal servant, offer sacrifices to you!"

More white servants came over, and they threw more Philosopher's Stones into the blood lake, and then were swept into the bottom of the lake by the tentacles. No one felt afraid during the whole process, not even the wailing sound before death.

Only the monsters in the lake gorged themselves, and the pious pleas of the king.

The lake became calm again, like a mirror, and the king had already stepped into the blood lake. He stared at himself in the blood-colored mirror, and then his figure shattered into tens of thousands under the lake, as if there were Wan's mirror was reflecting himself.

Looking at the lake from a higher place, you will find that this is not a broken mirror at all, but an extremely huge compound eye like an insect.

"Ah...it's you."

The woman's lazy voice sounded, dripping with blood, a pair of pure white arms tore open the compound eyes, stretched out from the gurgling blood, and the woman appeared in a blood-woven red dress.

She showed a charming smile at the king, took his old head with both hands, and immersed him in the blood like a baptism. When the king got up from the blood again, the woman still had those weird huge compound eyes, and all the strange things disappeared. He was the only one left standing in the blood.

The blurred vision became clear, strength came from his whole body, and even the dead joints stretched. The king lowered his head, and saw a face that was many years younger under the bloody water.

Not long after, crazy laughter echoed in the cave, and while he was laughing, he was calling like a madman.

"Xilin...Xilin...my child..."

Holding out his hand, the king implored.

"Red Dog, please take my child back."
