Chapter 16 Calamity Lich, Ponchester(1/2)
Compared to the hustle and bustle in the outer city, the palace is quieter.
A twisted shadow liquid appeared on the ground. The shadow spread larger and larger, and a huge white bone claw stretched out from it.
Standing in the palm of the bone claw was a man wearing a black rag cloak.
The building standing in front of him was the treasure house of the Steel Principality.
"Who is it?" The sudden appearance of a suspicious figure immediately aroused the vigilance of the guards.
"Puff! Puff!" Before they could take the next step, a bone spear suddenly penetrated their chests.
I saw a huge bone knight appear behind them at some point, causing these two gold-level warriors to die violently.
The sudden change caught the other soldiers by surprise, but they soon took up their weapons and attacked the Bone Knight.
"Ah!" A soldier suddenly screamed. Under his feet, another shadow appeared, and a bone-white hand was grabbing his ankle.
I saw another huge bone knight crawling out from inside. He raised the machete in his hand and casually chopped the soldier he caught into two halves.
"puff!"
The blood splattered all over the ground.
"Cough cough cough!"
The Bone Knight raised his head happily and seemed to be laughing, but because there was no flesh and blood on his body, the sound when he laughed was very scary!
The bone knight holding a spear shook off the corpse on his weapon and charged into the crowd of soldiers.
The sword in the soldier's hand could not leave any mark on it, and it started slaughtering like a wolf entering a flock of sheep.
"Ah, cough, cough!" Another bone knight raised his sword and joined in the massacre.
Soon the dozen soldiers guarding the gate were killed by two bone knights, leaving bloody scenes everywhere on the ground.
And the man in the black cloak never made any move from the beginning.
He walked to the door, which was no longer guarded by guards.
This door is made of special metal, very hard, and has unique patterns engraved on it. It cannot be opened without a key.
But this man didn't seem worried at all. He raised a hand from under his cloak and put it on the door. That hand was the same as the Bone Knight, without any flesh and blood covering it!
The dark magic was released from his palm, slowly advancing along the pattern on the door, and would soon cover the entire door.
"Click!" The door opened.
The man walked into it and saw a dazzling array of treasures on the shelves in the treasure house, but the man remained unmoved.
He entered here as if he was only looking for one thing.
The man closed his eyes and quietly felt the breath of that thing.
But as his mental power covered him, he found that he couldn't find that thing, only some aura that was about to dissipate.
"Huh? No more!"
Following the remaining breath, he found the stand that originally held the item.
"Number 36!"
He took out the record of the retrieval, which was found at the entrance of the treasure house.
He followed the records and found the person who took item No. 36, and it turned out to be those days.
"Second Prince, Charlie!" He saw the name.
"There are assassins!" Someone finally discovered the bodies of the killed soldiers outside.
Now that he knows where the things are going, the man doesn't plan to stay long.
I saw the shadow on the soles of his feet expanding little by little, and soon he blended in and disappeared into the treasure house.
…
His Royal Highness the Second Prince stole the show today. In order to match his performance, Allen had to show a particularly excited look, frightening a crowd of civilians.
"This kid is really a scheming boy. I wonder what his poor brother is thinking at this time?" Allen felt deeply silent for the eldest prince.
After walking around the square, Allen felt that it was almost done. If he didn't leave, the horses suppressed by his dragon power would foam at the mouth.
A door of shadow opened in the sky, and the man in black robe walked out.
"Today is your important day, so I'll give you a little gift!"
He just snapped his fingers, and then huge summoning arrays appeared one after another in the square on the ground.
Skeleton soldiers climbed out one after another, and there were thousands of them!
The sudden change immediately caused panic among ordinary civilians.
The skeleton soldiers rushed into the crowd as soon as they appeared, and emotions of fear and fright broke out in the crowd.
People rushed to escape out of the square, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"What's going on?" The Iron Duke in the stands frowned, because this was different from Charlie's behavior before. Someone was really making trouble now.
Everyone present was a strong person, so they quickly discovered the source in the sky.
"Catch him!" the Iron Duke pointed at the man in black robes in the sky and shouted.
Soon, a powerful knight who had mastered the wind fighting spirit flew into the sky.
However, the man in black robe had no intention of fighting with them. He disappeared as soon as the shadow door flashed.
His appearance seems to be just to make the Steel Principality look embarrassed.
"Can anyone tell me who the black man is?" Iron Duke roared.
Because he suspected that this matter was related to the envoys present, and it might be that one of them had colluded with the man in black robe in order to ruin this celebration.
"That's the Calamity Lich, Pontchester!" Andre, the legion commander of the Wells Empire, said with a serious face.
"He once sneaked into the empire's treasure house and stole a very important treasure. To this day, he is still on the empire's wanted list."
Not only did he sneak into the palace, but he was also able to successfully escape under the encirclement and suppression of a group of powerful men. This shows that Pontchester has many methods and is very powerful!
At this moment, an officer ran to the Iron Duke in a panic and whispered in his ear.
After hearing this, the Iron Duke looked shocked, then furious, and then left his seat in a panic.
The envoys from various countries next door didn't know what was going on.
As for the skeleton soldiers in the audience, they were quickly suppressed due to the presence of the army.
However, the skeleton soldiers rushed into the crowd as soon as they appeared, causing a large number of civilian casualties.
But all this has nothing to do with Allen. He is now a dragon and does not have much empathy with humans.
Because the first objects of protection of the human army are the princes and grand dukes, Allen does not even need to take action.
"Black Dragon, let's go back!" His Royal Highness the Second Prince just saw the Iron Duke leaving the seat in a panic, so the next summons should not happen.
Allen also felt that it was a pity. He was still thinking, if the transaction partner was changed to Iron Duke, would he accept his conditions?
Since the Iron Duke was no longer here, the ceremony ended hastily.
The eldest prince Pedro didn't want to stay here any longer, so he turned around and left.
"Your Highness Pedro, I think we can have a good chat next!" Andre suddenly called him from behind.
But Pedro doesn't want to pay attention to anyone now. He just wants to speed up and leave this place.
"I plan to support His Highness in succeeding to the throne. Are you really not going to give it a second thought?"
Pedro stopped in shock...
On the way back, Charlie kept staring at the place where Allen's neck connected to his body. There were two natural grooves there, as if they were specially prepared for dragon knights.
After returning to the manor, Charlie stepped off Alan's back.
"I hope you can fulfill your previous agreement!" Allen said, referring to the 30 magic crystals.
"Compared to this, Black Dragon, I have a bigger deal, you can consider it." After returning to the manor, Charlie seemed to have torn off his natural disguise and no longer had to work hard to confuse others.
"Oh? Tell me!" Allen wanted to see what other tricks he had up his sleeve.
"In the future, I will provide you with 100 magic crystals every month. Every time you fall into the deep sleep that the dragon clan must go through, I can also send troops to protect your safety. I would like to sign a 100-year master-servant contract with you on this condition.
.”
"You will be able to regain your freedom in 100 years. What do you think of this condition?"
There are so many magic crystals and troops that Charlie cannot mobilize, but if the contract can really be signed, he believes that his father, the Iron Lord, will fully support him.
"Haha, this is not a small matter! I have to think about it carefully." Allen chuckled.
Allen will definitely not sign the master-servant contract. No matter how short the time is, the dragons yearn for an unrestrained life and do not like to be bound by a contract.
What's more, after signing a master-servant contract, no matter what orders the master of the contract gives, the other party must execute them.
This poses a great threat to Allen's life safety!
But Allen did not refuse clearly. He needed to leave Charlie a thought so that he could continue to invest more in himself.
To be continued...
