It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

So this vast but silent area can already be called weird in the wilderness. The distorted weeds seem to be divided into a natural boundary by some invisible force, and the black land spreads to the center of the vast area. .

Located in the center of this large blank area caused by unnatural factors is a huge and magnificent city.The architectural style here is very different from any city in the physical world, and the towering spiers appear slender and overly refined.They are not perfectly symmetrical and harmonious with each other, like the probes on the weird machine or the nail blade spikes on the armor more than the buildings.

If you look at it from a distance, you even think they are completely hollowed out.

A large number of extremely detailed and magnificent patterns and magnificent sculptures are dotted around the corners of the minaret, and together they form the periphery of the city.

Under the blazing light, these sharp buildings actually show a dazzling metallic luster. Surprisingly, the main building materials here are metal instead of bricks. Countless silver is used as building materials, even if they are just painted The luxury of a coat of silver paint on the surface also feels incredible.

This is shocking and puzzling, even in metal-rich Nod.

In the flickering silver light, the lower part of the city was also gradually illuminated. The intricate bridges and sharp metal towers were like a large intertwined net, dividing the city into upper and lower layers.

Most of the buildings on the upper floors maintain a eccentric style that condenses extreme luxury and towering sharpness. Apart from separating the two, those bridges are also like blood vessels that send people or vehicles to every corner of the city.

The urban part under the bridge is mostly covered with stone accumulation, blackened and decayed, which is closer to the buildings with ancient history in the material world.

Looking up, a huge and unparalleled castle extends from the bottom of the city below to the highest point of the city. It is covered with delicate and cumbersome ornaments, including all the myths recorded in the "Book of Nod", even The kings of all dynasties who have ruled here.Chaotic and chaotic crimson stripes spread around the castle, like thick blood vessels and thin branches growing upwards.

Bridges, spires and stylized buildings seem to be mere decorations built around it.

This is the city of nobility, the source and holy land of the filthy blood race

— Enoch.

The door on the upper level of the castle is 30 meters high. It is opened in the middle of the huge castle, and the scarlet carpet covering the wide avenue spreads to the deepest part of the hall.Although the carpet and the hangings on the wall should be just ordinary decorations, they all exude strong blood, which makes people feel a certain illusion, as if the hall is suspended above a real river of blood.

Across the dark corridors, the dragon-wrapped Black Iron Throne that the members of the Legation had seen in the depths of the mists stood in the deepest part of the hall.

A woman in a dark red and rich old-fashioned court dress is lazily leaning on the throne, her eyes are tightly closed, and her long white eyelashes cover her eyelids.

Her pale face is like a sculpture of an ancient Greek goddess, showing a flawless classical beauty.The thin and pursed lips were bloodless, only dotted with a light lip gloss with a slight color.

At first glance, the woman's age seems to be only in her 20s, but the childishness left in her facial features makes people think that she may be younger than expected.Only some older filthy blood know that this woman has been sitting on the throne since they were young.

The filthy blood species is not a vampire-like longevity species in the legend, but time has stopped flowing on her body strangely.

A bat-like old man wrapped in a large black robe knelt quietly in front of the throne. This kind of black robe, which looks a bit shabby but has almost no wrinkles, is actually quite expensive fabric.

He just waited quietly, not daring to make a sound.

The woman's breathing was so light that it was almost impossible to distinguish, if it wasn't for the occasional illusion-like rise and fall of her full chest, she might be mistaken for just a cold corpse.

After an unknown amount of time, her eyelashes trembled a few times, followed by eyes that looked like expensive red gemstones leaking from the gaps in the eyelashes.It's just that these few gleams are thrilling, as if they want to drag people's souls into the rose-colored illusory ocean.

An incomparably long sigh slowly spewed out from between her lips and teeth, blowing away the stagnant dead air and the chill of the palace, as if she hadn't breathed normally for a long time.

It was a low, hoarse but intoxicating lazy voice.

"You seem to be getting older, Maxwell."

"It's only been less than half a year. This is your illusion, ma'am."

The old man pressed his right hand wearing a white satin glove to his left chest, smiling, but his tone seemed to be talking to an ordinary old friend.

"So I only woke up after sleeping for less than half a year. People who don't get enough sleep tend to have bad tempers, and their perspective on things is biased towards the bad side. This makes sense - Mark."

Her name is Enoch, the king of the land of Nod has always had only such a name, and the previous name has lost its meaning since he succeeded to the throne.This tradition can be traced back to the original era. Cain named the city after his eldest son, which means "beginning and dedication".

The Queen raised her hand to cover the light which was not bright in the first place.Unlike that night, Enoch's attitude could even be described as cordial.

However, the light in the entire hall became inexplicably dimmed with her actions, whether it was the fluorescent light of the metal or the faint candlelight.

The darker environment seemed to make her feel a little more comfortable. Queen Enoch crossed her body, put the two long white legs outside the dress on the cast steel armrest of the throne, and narrowed her eyes slightly to take a nap.

"Tell me, has anything happened in the past six months that I need to know?"

"Yes."

As he spoke, the old man named Maxwell took out a roll of notes several meters long, and began to read from top to bottom at a leisurely pace.

Most of the content was filtered by Enoch herself when she was drowsy, and she didn't open her eyes again until she heard a few very important terms.

"There was a fairly large team transfer recently, what is my SS doing?"

"Yes ma'am, you woke up once in the night four days ago, and the welcoming team composed of the 'Queen's Sword' carried a holy relic to meet the embassy that arrived in the town of Afra—you don't remember? "

Maxwell appeared to be very patient, as were most of the Nadasdy clan to which he belonged, and patience is as good a quality as any in any culture.

"There is indeed such a thing. Counting on it, they should have arrived by now."

The queen confirmed casually, but she inadvertently noticed the embarrassed expression of the old man.Although she gave five days, the personal guard composed of elite hunters obviously has stronger mobility. According to Enoch's prediction, they should be able to reach Aphra at least one day earlier.So she asked in surprise,

"Why, did they encounter any accident?"

"Jeffrey said that they encountered a large group of mobs and wiped them out and delayed their trip for half a day."

Maxwell had already received the news from the welcome team before this, but this incident also made him feel very strange, even absurd.

"When did the mob in the wilderness dare to attack Enoch's nobles?"

Although the wilderness who call themselves scavenging hyenas are not afraid of death, they use the keen sense of smell that fits this title. Usually, they will not choose to deal with the blood of Enoch who owns the clan, even when facing the untouchables. quite cautious.

Enoch straightened his posture and fully woke up.

"There are probably actions by other people behind this. Not everyone in this city will welcome human wizards from foreign lands."

The old man sighed helplessly, his eyes flashed with the wisdom of understanding human nature.

"Some hatreds don't dissipate with time. For those who share the philosophy of Holy Blood, people outside of us will always be food and enemies."

The queen sneered contemptuously,

"In the face of survival and interests, hatred is always the most insignificant thing - you think too highly of those people, if they want to prevent those wizards from foreign lands from signing a treaty with us, it will only be because they are not satisfied with their current price —but what I want to know is why they got the news of the mission before I did."

"Have you found out who did it?"

Maxwell shook his head, the eyeliners they arranged in the New Party and the Holy Blood Party failed to get any news.

He opened his mouth, thinking about whether to tell a clue he had.Because that was too stupid and absurd to even be called a useful clue.

"You seem to have something else to say."

"Yes... Geoffrey got a barely a clue from him when he burned the last mob."

He was still hesitating, wondering if he should waste Her Majesty's nap time with this offensively stupid remark.

"That mob died saying they would win this war...because this time, the real queen stood behind them."

The title of queen is not just a title in the ordinary sense for the dirty blood.The dirty blood will not give birth to two queens at the same time, this is an iron rule that has been proven for thousands of years.

"Is that so? This is a new way of saying it. Whoever she is, wouldn't she be called Enoch?"

"No...her name appears to be Christina Royce Lillis."

At a certain moment, Enoch's red jewel-like eyes suddenly shrank into thin vertical lines, and a large amount of hot blood gushed out of the circular groove under the throne. He took several steps back in a row!

After a long time, this suffocating pressure gradually disappeared, and the surging bloody wave also calmed down.

Horrified emotions filled his heart. Maxwell never thought that the gap between himself and the queen was so huge, but strong doubts gradually grew.

Why would the Queen have such a huge reaction to the name of an impostor?

After a moment of silence, Enoch's voice became ice-cold, as if he no longer had the intention to continue the conversation.

"I see, you can step back."

All the lights in the hall were suddenly extinguished, Maxwell bowed to the queen's position, and then retreated into the dark hall.

"Lilith...that's not a good name."

The Queen's murmur reached his ears, but the latter rationally did not think about the meaning of this sentence.

Chapter 60 Bait and Sharks

It had been three days since Ayla shut herself in the room, during which only Ling went back and forth between the two sides of the door every day.

The girl woke up four times during these four days, each time for a fixed hour.During this short period of time she only occasionally looked at the few dark magic codexes, but otherwise she could do little else, neither speak nor laugh.

Ayla seems to have made up her mind to shut herself in a world of one person, like a curled up hedgehog, afraid of hurting anyone who dares to get close to her.

But Ling's stubbornness is not lost to her at all, she will never allow the former to close herself up, even for that short hour.

Ella understands what Ling is insisting on,

Ling also knew exactly what Ella was afraid of.

But two people who can understand each other—that’s why they don’t agree with what the other person thinks.

After a not-so-accurate measurement, Hyde figured he was a centimeter taller than he started.Although this is more due to the measurer's tolerance for himself, he still believes that ordinary people's research experience on this is very reliable and effective.

It was another dim morning, and Hyde rationally sat in the corner of the bar hall, avoiding Ling who was in an extremely bad mood. He drank a cup of hot milk in advance, for fear of leaving any excuses and opportunities for the former.

Especially after returning from going out this morning, he obviously felt that Ling's mood was worse than usual.

Until now, Hyde still doesn't know what happened between the two of them that night. He tried to use various indirect methods to ask the whole story, but Ling's behavior made him more horrified than rage.The fiery girl was stunned for a while, then touched a bottle of blood cocktail and downed most of it, then retreated to the corner of the bar without saying a word.

In the past few days, Ling has tried to find out everything about "Nobold Williams" through almost all channels that can be learned about him, even the most insignificant news.

She wanted to share in the danger Ayla was about to face, or to prove her harmlessness.And what he said that night, even to Hyde and the others, was a bit inappropriate, because it was not a matter of trust or not.

-

Hyde now feels that he is going to be aggrieved. Since the beginning of this journey, accidents have occurred one after another.The shadow disappeared, Ayla fell into a deep sleep, but he didn't even see the enemy's figure.

The strength of the envoys continued to be damaged over time, as if a huge invisible spider web was pressed up from the darkness layer by layer, strong, slimy, and airtight, making him feel breathless.

Depressedly, he reached for the wine box under his buttocks but found nothing.Before he knew it, the empty wine bottles had piled up the wooden table beside him, but he hardly felt drunk.Because of the need to be in constant contact with potions and harmful minerals, most wizards of their level have not weak immunity to poison or drug resistance, and a few bottles of wine are already difficult to make him enter that defenseless drunk state.

Hyde slammed his fist heavily on the table. Although he was not a combative alien like Ling, he wanted to vent his anger on the enemy now.

The force of this punch was slightly beyond Hyde's expectation. The vibrations spread along the table to both sides, and the empty wine bottle immediately became shaky.Without looking at the knuckles that quickly turned white and then turned red, his expression changed and he quickly reached out to help the empty wine bottle that fell to the ground!
