I, the sinner, will never die on the guillotine

Chapter 210: The Dark Night Goddess, the Shadow Temple, and the Kingdom of Shadows (9000 words)
"Ah... I've finally finished cleaning."

After returning to the hotel, Louis fell onto the bed and entered the bad mode.

Ryan City is truly a steel city, and its martial virtue is too abundant.

This is different from Tino Castle, where the monsters have been basically cleared out.

The monsters around Ryan City have not been cleared out so thoroughly.

Of course, they also have their own ways to deal with it.

There are many families in this city that raise monsters.

It is a kind of dog-like monster that has been popular in Ryan City hundreds of years ago.

Once they encounter a wandering monster outdoors that has not yet been cleared away, the master and servant will usually attack together.

This is probably the reason why this city, although not a big magic city, has more spellcasters than big magic cities.

Louis took some time to go take a bath in the bathhouse downstairs.

But he left soon.

not good.

They are all fruit men.

It gave him a feeling of returning to the three northeastern provinces of his previous life.

He is from the south and can't stand this.

However, he was craving for the bath, so he decided to wait until later when there were fewer people to take a bath.

……

That night.

Louis came to the bath again.

At this time, there were finally few people in the bathhouse.

After lifting the curtain at the door, there was only one person left in the huge bathtub, taking a bath.

Louis actually finished washing in the room.

But that doesn't stop him from coming over for a soak.

Seeing that there was only one person there, he hesitated for a moment, and finally walked in.

After getting into the water, a comfortable expression appeared on his face.

The water temperature is just right.

But there were other people in the bath.

Louis subconsciously looked at the man.

That was a young man.

She has a face that looks a little too delicate.

It gives Louis a boy-girl look, and most importantly, he has long hair.

It's quite different from someone with a tender face like him.

Louis had seen similar students when he was in college in his previous life.

When the student walked on the street, many people would subconsciously turn their heads to look at him.

The feeling is hard to describe.

From his frame to his walking posture, he is very manly, and his voice is quite rough.

But that face doesn't match his body.

So when he walks on the street, there will always be people who subconsciously look at him.

Sometimes, if you watch too much, it will make people angry.

The boys in this bath are similar.

Louis quickly shifted his focus.

After leaving the bath, he returned to his room and began to organize his current career system.

Now Louis is already a LV8 professional.

The current distribution of occupational levels is:

LV3 Warrior + LV3 Military Sword + LV2 Eternal Blade.

After the Eternal Blade is upgraded, a special ability [Guided Strike] is unlocked.

Mentor Merlin basically did not participate in the actual battle from the beginning.

But after reaching Eternal Blade LV2, he can directly participate in the battle command when Louis enters the battle.

The ability [Guided Strike] is essentially a way to assess your opponent and counterattack through Blade Mentor.

In battle, the Blade Mentor has rich experience and can find the opponent's weaknesses from the enemy's armor and scales and tell you how to attack.

This method of communication is not oral.

Instead, it injects the opponent's weaknesses into your mind with almost zero delay.

Since almost every Blade Instructor has experienced long battles, they have unique insights into how to penetrate the enemy.

This allows every Eternal Blade to still have a chance to weaken their foe even when facing the most frustrating opponents.

Not to mention Mentor Merlin.

Merlin himself is a wise mentor, and he is almost always teaching Louis relevant fighting methods.

Don’t say anything else.

Just the blood-letting killing moves of [Greedy Grasp] + [Matter Manipulation] that were created when clearing monsters in the past few days have been used to great effect in the hands of Mentor Merlin.

For example, Merlin suggested that Louis refine his attack methods.

For example, directly extracting the opponent's blood can be used on strong people.

After all, if the attack speed is fast enough and the strong player fails to react in time, the opponent may be turned into a weak shrimp lacking blood.

But when facing the weak, the efficiency is too slow.

Mentor Merlin suggested to Louis that at the moment of controlling the weapon to injure the opponent, he should directly inject the stance of Greedy Grasp combined with the ability to manipulate matter into the opponent's body.

You don't need to spend much effort, just let the blood in your body stop for a dozen seconds, and you can defeat most opponents.

If you want your opponent to die suddenly, you can just let the blood flow backwards, causing your opponent to die suddenly and silently. It only takes a moment of thought.

And the energy consumed will be very little.

Dealing with strong opponents is another matter.

For example, it can be used in conjunction with the Psion's ability [Hand in the Air] to create a death blow.

【Hand in the Air】: Can move small objects a short distance.

This small object can generally only be used on some small items.

But blood under [Matter Control] is also an item for the psychic.

You don't have to do anything extra, just get the blood attacking the heart or brain.

Even a weak impact can cause huge damage to the enemy.

A light tap will make you fall to the ground on the spot, a heavy tap will make you ascend to heaven on the spot.

of course……

This premise is based on Louis penetrating the opponent's energy defense.

In terms of physical strength alone, the professionals in the Star Continent have not reached the level where their muscles are harder than a neutron star.

But before the extraordinary energy of each profession dissipated, the strength of the professionals was truly outrageous.

A LV20 warrior can bathe in lava without getting hurt.

LV20 magician can use Earth-shattering Star.

Level 20 Ranger... um, well, Rangers are an exception. The overall quality of Rangers has always been a mystery.

"Then my focus will be on improving my warrior level."

Generally speaking, the three basic professions of Sword of Heaven's Punishment/Sword of the Sage/Sword of the Military Way need to be upgraded to a certain level before one can learn a large number of basic martial arts.

However, as long as they can unlock advanced professions, few people will further upgrade the professional level of basic professions.

As the martial artist's level increases, the bonuses for basic and advanced professions are the same.

Beside Louis, Mentor Merlin floated in the air, slowly telling Louis the difference after his advancement.

"For Nine Swords professionals, the Martial Artist level =
Occupational Basic Level+
1/2 other martial artist professional level +
1/2 other non-martial arts occupation level +
All martial artists' advanced professional levels."

"Your current professions are Warrior, Sword of the Military Way, and Eternal Blade."

"Among them, the Sword of Military Path is a basic profession, and the Eternal Blade is an advanced profession. Both enjoy a 3% bonus, LV2/LV5 respectively, and the total is levels."

"As a non-martial arts profession, the warrior only enjoys a 50% bonus, a total of 1.5 levels."

"Next, you have two options for advancement."

"The first one is to continue to upgrade the Eternal Blade."

"At LV3 Eternal Blade, you can unlock a new professional skill [Armored Strange Evasion] and increase the number of times you can learn the original [Eternal Training]."

Louis nodded.

The effect of this option is obvious.

The effect of [Armored Strange Dodge] is simple and straightforward:
Starting at the third level, you gain the benefit of uncanny dodge as long as you can connect with your mentor.

This uncanny dodge is equivalent to the rogue class's uncanny dodge and reflex dodge, allowing you to reduce the damage you take when attacked.

If you already have the ability of uncanny dodge, with the help of Blade Mentor, you will automatically gain the advanced uncanny dodge ability.

But if you lose contact with your Blade Mentor, you lose this ability until your Blade Mentor returns to you.

Unlike a rogue's dodge ability, a rogue can usually only wear light armor if they want to dodge.

But the Eternal Blade's armor is strangely evasive, and it can wear medium or even heavy armor.

Tanky and fast, that's the Eternal Blade.

The effect of Eternal Training LV2 is also very obvious.

The Eternal Blade could only be used once a day, but now it can be used twice a day.

To put it simply, you can first start the [Eternal Training] against trolls, and then start the [Eternal Training] against elves.

In this way, when you see elves and trolls at the same time the next day, the remaining training instinct will allow you to cause great damage to the two different enemies.

"So you're going to choose this?"

Mentor Merlin asked curiously.

Louis shook his head: "Promote to a warrior first."

"For a Level 3 fighter, only 50% of the bonus is calculated. The martial arts I can learn only go up to Level 6. It's such a waste."

"Of course, there is one more important thing. That is, compared to the accumulation of experience, what I need now is purer strength."

Mentor Merlin laughed out loud:

"If it were someone else, I would advise them to choose the Eternal Blade first, but if it were you, there's really no need because you have me."

Louis laughed too.

It’s no wonder that Teacher Merlin is proud.

Most of the Blade Mentors are more like AI robots engraved with "combat formulas" than souls.

The extra training effect of eternal training every day is very valuable for ordinary professionals.

Because they need to go through a long period of training to truly master those combat skills.

But Louis doesn't need to.

The accelerated learning effect of his greedy desire for knowledge made the effects of Mr. Merlin's training permanently engraved in Louis.

For Louis, the increase in training effect is also valuable, but it is basically enough.

What can really improve him quickly is his ability to dodge with amazing ease while wearing armor.

But Louis himself also has the blood of a succubus.

In recent years, Baita has been promoting the project of digitizing extraordinary powers.

It is said that mage associations across the country are promoting this work to varying degrees.

Occupational levels are divided into 20 levels, which actually correspond to 20 levels of basic attributes.

Generally speaking, before being promoted to Legend, the attribute cap of professionals of most races is 20.

Especially humans.

The human race has always been known for having average attributes, and rarely have attribute values ​​that break the limit.

Warrior LV1, gains the abilities [Battle Style] and [Recovery].

Louis's [Fighting Style] was undoubtedly archery.

This was his way of making up for his lack of mid-range combat capabilities.

However, his "archery skills" became particularly outrageous because they were enhanced by the succubus panel.

Ordinary warriors use [Battle Style] to establish their extraordinary combat skills, which are only based on their strong archery skills.

But the "archery" blessed by the succubus panel should be called "precision".

Any long-range weapon could hit the opponent with extreme accuracy, and when using archery, the accuracy was far beyond that of ordinary people.

[Rebound] This ability can consume a small amount of energy reserves to protect yourself from harm.

Usually after using [Rebound], professionals need to take at least a short rest before they can use this ability again.

But...who said Louis is a succubus?
His [Rebound] recovery speed is so high that it is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Warrior LV2, unlock the skill [Action Like Tide].

The effect is that Louis can deliver an efficient second strike when attacking his opponent.

This is equivalent to doubling the number of attacks in a short period of time.

Louis described this skill as "purely powerful".

Warrior LV3, unlock the skill [Martial Arts Paradigm].

Louis can additionally choose corresponding extraordinary powers from Warrior/Battle Master/Arcane Knight.

Louis chose the warrior because the warrior's extraordinary power corresponding to the warrior LV3 is called "Mastery of Heavy Attack".

The effect is that Louis can more easily deliver heavy blows when attacking with a weapon.

This is Louis's choice of thinking.

Among the three levels of warriors, Louis' development direction is the simplest and crudest "pure power".

Enhanced long-range attack + powerful close-range combat capability.

This gave him a lot of advantages in the early stages.

If it is an ordinary warrior, he may lack agility due to over-emphasis on strength.

But again...

Having succubus bloodline is really amazing.

After absorbing the power of the succubus bloodline, Louis himself enjoys the racial power bonus of the succubus.

Using the White Tower's digital panel, the Succubus panel is usually -

Str 13, Agility 13, Constitution 13, Intelligence 16, Wis 14, Charisma 26.

In other words, in addition to the charm exceeding the normal limit, the bonuses to other values ​​are also not low.

At least higher than the human panel.

It can be said that the Succubus's panel in the early stage, relying on pure attribute suppression, allowed Louis to get off to a smooth start.

In other words, the numerical bonus obtained by Louis's occupation level increase is further improved based on the basic panel of Succubus.

Invisibly, I don’t know how much trouble this saved Louis.

The growth of regular professionals requires spending a lot of resources to learn different specialties, thereby improving their basic attributes.

Moreover, for many specialties, the attributes improved cannot exceed the upper limit of 20 points.

Then the problem is coming.

It’s not like Louis only has this extra panel as a succubus.

The Sin Dragon Armor is also equivalent to an additional panel, but this panel exists in the form of symbiosis with Louis rather than in the form of blood.

The attribute bonus provided by the Sin Dragon Armor in the young dragon stage is
Str 21, Agility 10, Constitution 17, Intelligence 16, Wis 17, Charisma 16.

With the support of multiple panels, Louis's values ​​will only be taken according to the highest value.

So Louis' basic panel when he is at full power (excluding the additional value increased by the professional level) is as follows:

Str 21, Agility 13, Constitution 17, Intelligence 16, Wis 17, Charisma 26.

It can be said that this basic panel, judging from the data alone, is a model-level panel.

I'm not referring to the kind of parallel imported model products.

They are role models who have spent a lot of resources to learn relevant expertise and improve their abilities in different fields.

Yes.

This alone almost eliminated the model-level adventurers from most adventurer guilds.

This kind of standard model level can usually only be cultivated by major forces such as countries or academic institutions.

Moreover, all attributes, except for agility, are too evenly distributed.

If Malone is a hexagonal warrior, then Louis is at least a typical pentagonal warrior.

If you take into account the value brought by the increase in professional level.

Except for agility which is 18 points, Louis' other attributes all reach 20 points, and his strength and charm even exceed 20 points.

Mentor Merlin floated around Louis and said meaningfully:

"Mixed-bloods, in most cases, will inherit both advantages and disadvantages."

"There are even quite a few unlucky people who inherit nothing but disadvantages."

"It's really rare to find someone like you who can inherit all the advantages."

Louis smiled and said, "That's why I said that I chose to be promoted to a warrior first."

There is only one kind of power that a warrior at level 4 can obtain, and that is the improvement of attribute values.

This is different from the effect of specialties which can only cultivate attributes in a specific direction.

The attribute value of a LV4 warrior, calculated using the digital panel promoted by the conversion algorithms, is approximately equal to an increase of 2 points.

In other words, the next time Louis advances to the White Tower and tests his panel attributes, it will be -

Str 21, Agility 20, Constitution 20, Intelligence 20, Wis 20, Charisma 26.

Powerful without any shortcomings.

Do you think Louis is a numerical freak?
No, he's still a weird mechanic.

Don't forget the full-blown blast ability that Greedy Mask grants him.

So Louis in his heyday was actually——

Greedy Mask + Succubus Panel + Sin Dragon Armament + Attribute Panel that is not inferior to the regular model level.

It can be said that if Louis was not restricted by level suppression, he would definitely be a top professional at LV20.

"Pure power?"

Louis sighed.

A combination of numerical monster and mechanism monster.

A combination of strength and appearance.

"Soon. Once I break through to the Exemplar level... I'll be able to face off against the LV20 masters."

Louis raised his head and looked at the starry sky outside the window.

"In the Roxy Empire, are there any more titled adventurers, Chunshu?"

“I don’t know what the scenery is like over there.”

……

【Location: Spring hunting area】

The on-site investigation team has been thrown into unprecedented excitement.

Now gathered here are professional investigators from four countries.

Among them, there are quite a number of people who are a type of professional group that is extremely rare in the outside world:
Mythologist.

This is a group of scholars who specialize in unravelling the legendary deeds buried in past history.

At this time, this group of scholars looked at the towering ruins with shock on their faces.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"There has never been any trace of Mad King activity in this surrounding area!"

"It's hard to say. The Mad King was active for only a few years. I heard that the method the Mad King used to create the living dead was related to the Shadow Plane."

"It is indeed related to the Shadow Plane, but no one knows how he mobilizes the power of the Shadow Plane."

"It's hard to say. Maybe the shadow plane is just a transit channel, and the source of the resurrection method lies in another world."

"But this... this is too outrageous!"

"Yes, according to the records on the murals, the Mad King will be the successor of this place's power? But why have we never heard of his active activities in the Enther Empire before?"

A group of scholars looked at the images on the mural with shock on their faces.

Because they noticed that the shadow plane was approaching the Star Continent, the four countries sent them here for a joint investigation.

In particular, the ancient ruins and temples of unknown gods discovered in this area are things that all countries must investigate thoroughly.

In fact, countries are acting much faster than outsiders imagine.

After the first and second investigation teams lost contact, they organized a third investigation team and joined forces with various major wizard towers to set up a large-scale impact magic array here.

Relying on the continuous output of the magic circle, the outermost defense system of the temple was successfully destroyed.

After they entered the outer circle ruins, they saw something that they could not understand.

This place is called the "Temple of Dark Night".

It is the remains of a large temple dedicated to the legendary dark goddess Shar.

However, mythologists can be sure that the goddess Shar’s divinity has been shattered for many years.

The deity enshrined in this large relic has long disappeared in the long river of history.

But what is strange is that although the godhead has been broken, no god has been found on the Star Continent to occupy the position of the Dark Goddess.

Some people suspect that although the Dark Goddess has fallen, a new god may have been born before her fall.

Although this unknown god is not as powerful as the Dark Goddess and is only slightly weaker than the Supreme God in power, he has perfectly inherited the legacy of the Dark Goddess.

But for some reason, He has never been active on the mainland.

Of course, this was just speculation before.

But now, mythologists believe that this speculation is highly likely.

"It has been confirmed that there is still dark power remaining in the temple?"

General Locke from the Lockheed Empire said with a frown.

Lucy, the president of the Rockhe Empire Standard Mage Association, nodded:
"Yes, it is certain that this temple showed signs of revival halfway through."

General Locke showed a little sadness:
"Why did it have to be the Dark Goddess? This matter can't be kept secret any longer. Several other countries have already determined that our Roxy is the breakthrough point?"

"Is there any way to conceal it? It's been so many years, and it can still be linked to us."

President Lucy was silent.

Silence is also an answer.

General Locke shook his head.

He had actually guessed the answer a long time ago, but people always hold on to a sense of luck.

As for why he had such a headache, it was related to this large relic that appeared along with the shadow plane.

After they broke the outer circle's barrier and entered, they discovered a group of murals in the surrounding ruins.

The murals on the ruins show that this was once a temple of the goddess of darkness.

This temple has a very special history. It is a special temple that was built after the Goddess of Darkness had disappeared on the continent.

Generally speaking, when believers are unable to contact the gods, many of them will take the initiative to leave the belief system and go to a similar belief system of gods.

In this way, although the priest's level will drop to a certain extent, he will not lose most of his combat means.

After all, not many professionals can endure the pain of losing their power.

But there are still some people who choose to stay and continue to believe in the Goddess of Darkness.

The current Church of the Setting Sun is different from the former Church of the Fiery Sun.

The Fiery Sun Church was one of the most reputable churches among the orthodox churches in the past.

Therefore, after the fall of the Eternal Sun, there are still a large number of believers who yearn for the Eternal Sun and continue to maintain the collapsed Sun Church system.

Although as time goes by, such people are becoming increasingly rare.

But there are still many pastors who cherish the old feelings and still firmly believe that -

As long as they continue to give back their faith to the gods, they can reawaken the Eternal Sun from the long river of time.

We believe that for a deity of such great power, death is nothing more than a long sleep.

Even though the Fiery Sun Church has declined to the extreme today, it still has a good foundation compared to those lower-class churches.

But the Dark Night Goddess is different.

Shar is undoubtedly a beautiful lady.

But in stark contrast to her beauty are her cold and cruel methods.

She has always wanted to pull the world back into chaos, and can be said to be the enemy of most of the righteous gods on the continent.

Of course, Shar also has his own allies.

In the era when Shar was still active, the Alliance of Darkness, to which Shar belonged, could be said to be a very powerful group of gods.

It was precisely because Shar was too powerful back then that many orthodox churches on the mainland were unable to stop Shar from expanding the faith on the mainland.

After all, Shar has not fallen into the abyss, so she is not an evil god.

Even in the views of some gods, Shar and them merely have different ideas, not a life-and-death relationship.

But believers don’t think so.

The Dark Night Goddess's methods are no less intimidating to her believers than those of the evil god.

According to the records on the murals, this huge temple ruins was a special area built by the surviving believers not long after the death of Goddess Shar.

The operation is similar to Eternal Sun. Continue to provide devout faith to Shar.

But it’s not about “longing for the goddess Shar”, but the fear that if the goddess of darkness really revives from the long river of time one day, they can be a little more tolerant because the top leaders have arranged people to believe in her.

After all, Goddess Shar doesn't have the energy to kill every believer, but it is easy to kill the top leaders and their descendants.

In order to avoid being targeted by the enemy, they specifically kept Shar's former loyal followers here and built an ecological park for them.

then……

This bunch of damn high-ranking officials simply sealed everyone in this large ruins and banished the entire area to the shadow plane.

They were afraid that these former "fanatics" would later change their minds and no longer believe in the Goddess of Darkness.

In this way, they won't even have the chance to find the goddess to beg for forgiveness and will be killed directly.

Later, this area was called the Land of Shadows.

Of course, as to why the top leaders of the Dark Night Church did not choose to join the Kingdom of Shadows themselves...

Isn't this a matter of course?

Having tasted the sweet fruits of power, expecting these people to give up the fruits in their hands is no different from killing them.

However, the residents of the Shadow Kingdom have been sealed for many years and have never been able to leave this area smoothly.

Later, in order to continue the bloodline of civilization in a vast world with limited resources, the residents of the Shadow Kingdom did something extremely crazy.

The owner of the Shadow Temple, who calls himself the Lord of Darkness.

She replaced the statue of the Dark Night Goddess with her own image and began to steal the Dark Night Goddess's faith.

At the same time, as the strongest person in the Shadow Kingdom, she began to cleanse the memory within.

Through day after day of memory cleansing, she successfully distorted most people into a different appearance.

Every once in a while, the Shadow Kingdom needs to conduct targeted elimination of its excess adult population.

They need to take lethal poison and die in public.

This is called "Holy Judgment" by the Shadow Kingdom.

It is a reward that the people of Shadow Country should be happy about, and it is a reward that allows them to return to the embrace of the goddess.

These people of Shadow Country, whose memories have been erased since childhood, firmly believe this.

No one knew how long it had been, but the emperor never left the temple again.

If relevant orders had not been conveyed from the temple every day, many people in the Shadow Country would have thought that the emperor was dead.

During this period, of course, there were also some Shadow Country people who realized that something was wrong, broke free from the brainwashing, and began to rebel against the emperor.

But under the absolute force wielded by the emperor, all of them vanished.

Until one day, outside the Land of Shadows, an outsider accidentally stepped into this twisted country.

That man's name is Rudelson.

That’s right, it was the Mad King from that year.

The Mad King felt deeply that the Shadow Kingdom was distorted and decided to help the rebels in the Shadow Kingdom overthrow the emperor.

However, the emperor's guards were too powerful.

Rudelson was no match at the time.

After discovering Rudelson's intelligence and amazing learning ability, the reformers who had hidden themselves decisively passed on the various secrets of the Shadow Kingdom to Rudelson.

It even includes many secret methods that were considered heretical in the Church of the Goddess of Darkness back then.

Later, Rudson grew up rapidly in the process of madly absorbing knowledge and overthrew the emperor at that time.

What was disappointing was that when they led their troops into the emperor's bedroom, they discovered a shocking scene.

The emperor sitting on the throne had died many years ago.

What remained on the throne was a skeleton and a mechanical mind cube that constantly executed the skeleton's orders during his lifetime.

When they rushed in, the emperor's last words came from the Rubik's Cube.

She hoped that after overthrowing her rule, the successor would continue to sit on the throne and become the evil dragon after her, waiting for the brave man in the next millennium to overthrow her.

The emperor stated his thoughts truthfully.

The Shadow Kingdom, which no longer has the ability to expand outward, has limited resources.

If the population is allowed to continue to grow, the entire Shadow Kingdom will soon fall into a tragic scene of resource shortages and cannibalism.

The emperor didn't want this to happen, so he chose to take up the butcher knife himself.

In this way, those who come later have a lord to whom they swear allegiance, and also an object of hatred.

In this world exiled to the shadow plane, isolated from the outside world, the Shadow Kingdom will continue the lives of future generations as much as possible before the seal is lifted.

——Until the day they successfully stepped into the Kingdom of Shadows.

Rudelson was extremely shocked by this.

The rebels were also extremely silent.

Eventually, the most trustworthy of the rebels sat on the throne and continued the endless torture.

But this time, they had new ideas.

This group of people began to develop the basis for resurrection after death based on the physique of the Shadow Country people.

Rudelson was unable to leave the country for the time being, so he simply joined in the research.

Later, the research made a breakthrough.

An undead curse based on the Shadow Country people was developed.

However, this is based on a group of Shadow People who have lived in the Shadow Plane for a long time.

Although they have no way to get out, generation after generation have been baptized by the power of shadow for a long time, and their physiques have long been different from those of humans.

The Curse of Undeath allows the people of Shadow Country to continue to survive as living people.

After confirming this, the second emperor chose to make the first emperor's affairs public.

They chose to carve the story of the Shadow Kingdom into murals and pass them on to future generations.

The upper limit of the number of people in the Shadow Kingdom has been locked from now on.

Humans are no longer allowed to reproduce with each other.

Those who reproduce should be prepared for the possibility that their offspring may be "judged by the Holy Spirit".

of course.

If both husband and wife are prepared to leave the future to their children, then the curse of immortality can be lifted and they can enjoy the last moments with their children.

later.

In front of the statue of the Goddess of Darkness, there is indeed a group of people who believe in the Goddess.

Of course, the statue has turned into the face of an emperor.

For the people of Shadow Kingdom, the Shadow Queen, who maintained the initial stability of Shadow Kingdom, is the well-deserved Goddess of Dark Night.

Another 50 years passed after that.

The residents of Shadow Kingdom discovered that the seal was loose.

Some people want to test whether the sealed boundary has the ability to escape.

And Rudelson volunteered to be a member of the first exploration team.

Unfortunately, the entire exploration team never returned.

Everyone could only come to one conclusion, that is, it was not yet time for the Kingdom of Shadows to be born.

Another 10 years passed like this.

Suddenly one day, people discovered that there were new people in the Shadow Kingdom.

Everyone gathered around, and soon someone discovered that Rudelson, who had disappeared for a long time, was among the group.

They laughed and rushed to hug him.

However, what greeted them was an inhumane massacre.

Rudelson, who for some reason had become extremely powerful, along with the others who had entered the Shadow Kingdom, defeated the entire resistance force of the Shadow Kingdom.

They carried out one inhumane magical experiment after another here.

Later, when there were almost no living people left in the Shadow Kingdom, he left quietly again.

There are only a dozen or so people left from the Shadow Country.

They angrily carved the last scene on the wallpaper, and then died a few years later for various reasons.

At the end of the mural, someone carved a mural of Rudelson’s hideous face and a group of attackers.

On the mural, the attackers were wearing the standard wizard robes of the Lockheed Empire Wizard Academy.

This made everyone's scalp tingle.

This is why General Locke wanted to keep this news secret.

No one wants to have anything to do with the Mad King now.

Why did the Emperor have to kill Rudelson back then?
This is largely because Rudelson is from the Unther Empire.

But if we tell the outside world now that we had connections with some people in the Rockhi Empire...

Firstly, it damages the continental image of the Rocky Empire.

Secondly, they might even have to shoulder the blame for this for the Enser Empire.

General Locke really didn't want to see such a scene.

　My cold has gotten worse again. Oh, let me write 9000 words to express my feelings.
　　
　
(End of this chapter)
