In the Forgotten Realm, it had always been the polar night weather. There was not much difference between day and night. However, it was different outside the Forgotten Realm. Agares had not entered the polar day season, so the sun was shining brightly during the day, and the moon and stars were sparse at night.
It was a good night.
Even a race like the Barbarians, who were filled with aggression and belligerence, would enjoy the peace brought by the night at night. Especially in inland cities that were further away from the border, under the dazzling colorful lights, the long streets and alleys were filled with a rare peaceful atmosphere.
It was in this kind of night that no one dared to come near the city gate.
Two bright but cold beams of light immediately shot out from the city walls onto this person's body. This person wore only a single piece of clothing and was wrapped in a thick windproof cloak. Even his head was wrapped tightly, making it impossible to see his face clearly. The guards on the city wall wanted to take down this suspicious fellow without asking for the reason. Unexpectedly, he stretched out a hand from under his cloak and threw a heavy iron plate to the ground. When the light landed on the iron plate, there was a gasp on the city wall. Then, someone shouted, "Open the door." Then, amidst the noise of hydraulic machinery, the heavy armored gate retracted to both sides, completely revealing the city gate.
The man reached out and grabbed the iron plate. He wrapped the cloak tightly and strode into the city.
When he disappeared into the streets and alleys of the city, a guy who was obviously a recruit asked his colleague, "What kind of sign is that?"
"That's the Berserk Shadow Army's military token." His companion rolled his eyes and said, "You don't know?" Now, the Imperial Army no longer uses this kind of steel military token. They all use electronic seals. Right now, only the Berserk Shadow Army was still using copper military tokens. Those who could show the military token were at least a battalion commander in the Berserk Shadow Army. If a battalion commander of the Berserk Shadow Army were to be thrown into another legion, he would be a deputy regiment commander or even a regiment commander. Do you understand? "
"That's a big shot we can't afford to offend. Besides, the Berserk Shadow Army is full of lunatics. Even if he's just a Berserk Shadow Army warrior, we have to let him go so as not to get into trouble. "
The recruit was stunned. He rubbed his head and said, "The Berserk Shadow Army is so powerful. If I had known earlier, I would have signed up."
His companion glanced at him as if he was an idiot. "Do you think you can join the Berserk Shadow Legion just because you want to? Not to mention Origin Energy, you're not qualified for military merits alone. "
"So strict?"
"Nonsense, otherwise how could he be the trump card of our Demonic Shadow Empire?"
The recruit looked in the direction where the mysterious man disappeared, and his eyes were filled with envy. The mysterious man who was envied by the recruits passed through the streets and alleys after entering the city. Finally, he stopped in front of a bar that was still filled with music and human voices. Then he went into the bar and found a quiet corner to sit down.
An enchanting Barr woman walked over, blinked her eyes and said, "What would you like to drink? Or do you want to have some fun? "
The man silently slapped an emerald crystal on the table, and a deep voice came from the shadow of his hat. "Serve the best wine you have here, and I'll take the three tables around here."
The woman's eyes lit up.
A piece of green crystal, and a good quality green crystal, not to mention these three or four tables, even if it was the venue for tonight, it would be more than enough. She quickly picked up the green crystal, afraid that this person would go back on his word. She smiled and leaned over, "Don't you want anything else other than wine?"
Her provocation was evident in her words.
However, he spat out a word coldly from his hat, "Scram."
The woman wanted to flare up, but in the end, for the sake of the green crystal, she patted her butt and left. A moment later, he reluctantly brought over a bottle of wine and an empty glass.
After the woman left, he silently opened the bottle and drank alone. When a person drank alone, it was especially easy to recall the past. He didn't intend to come in to drink, but the song playing on the jukebox in the bar reminded him of his memories, and then fermented by alcohol. Some of the past that he thought he had forgotten was vivid in his mind, and he seemed to have returned to that distant era. When he was still a child, there was also such a yellow light, and a woman would gently hum this song beside him.
At that time, he was undoubtedly happy and happy. Even if he had too many things that he didn't dare to imagine in his childhood, he no longer had that kind of satisfaction and joy. His heart was like a huge black hole, no matter how much he filled it, he still couldn't be satisfied.
He took a sip of wine, and it tasted bitter, not like a good wine. But he didn't care, and continued to immerse himself in his memories. So in that corner of his mind, there was a faint sadness gradually spreading.
He didn't know whether it was the effect of the light or the alcohol, but his vision became blurred. In that hazy scene, he seemed to see that woman walking towards him, she opened her arms, as if to welcome his return. His heart trembled slightly, perhaps after so many years, what he wanted the most, was actually to return to that place.
But …
The wine glass suddenly broke in his hand, and his hand was actually trembling.
"I can't go back, everything …" His whisper came from the hat, "Nothing can go back."
At this time, a man roared in the bar, "There are obviously tables there, why don't you let us go there!"
The person who stopped the man was the woman who just served him wine, she said helplessly, "Those three tables have been booked. You guys go somewhere else. "
The man, who was obviously a bit drunk, pushed the woman away, walked over shakily, and slammed his palm on the table, "How much did he pay? (? Three times the price! "
The woman said expressionlessly, "He gave me a green crystal."
The drunk Baltic's expression changed, and he stammered, "A green crystal? Don't joke, this … "Suddenly, a green light flashed in the corner of his eyes, and a green crystal slid to the side of his palm. The mysterious man who was drinking said in a low voice," This is for you, go away. "
The Baltic's expression suddenly changed, and he slapped the green crystal away with one hand and shouted, "You think you're so great with money? Do you know who I am? You're such a mystifying fellow. " Then he reached out and pulled off the man's hat, and under the light, a head of silver-white hair flowed like moonlight. Under the silver hair was a young and handsome face, and eyes so red that it made people panic. More importantly, this person was clearly not a Baltic.
The bar suddenly became silent, only the music of the phonograph continued to play. The instigator was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Humans? Why are there humans here? We're here, these lowly slaves … "Before his voice trailed off, his body suddenly aged rapidly, and a moment later, he had become a dried corpse.
The man who was still sitting slowly pulled on his hat again, and said softly, "It's not a good thing to have too many people. There's not even a quiet place to drink now."
No one knew who was the first to notice that the dead man's body was quietly filled with black smoke. Like a shadow, it quickly spread out, and then climbed up the bodies of the people, and then desperately burrowed into their pores. Screams rang out in the bar, but the screams quickly disappeared. A moment later, the man pulled on his hat and walked out, disappearing into the side alley.
After a few more minutes, a group of soldiers arrived. They entered the bar, and other than the dried corpses on the floor, they also saw the neatly stacked green crystals on the table. The soldiers looked at each other, not understanding what this meant. It wasn't until their commanding officer said something in a deep voice that the soldiers came to a sudden realization.
"That's money to buy your life."
It was also night.
The castle in the Forgotten Realm was much quieter. Allen was sitting in the bathtub, his eyes closed, feeling the moving feeling of warm water flowing past him. He knew very well that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. The information that Alice had revealed to him was too shocking. The creator, artificial life, the origin of the Barbarians, and Spenak. He needed time to digest this information. Just now in the restaurant, after briefly mentioning Spenak, Alice ended the dinner on the grounds that she was tired.
In fact, how could a person like her be tired? Allen knew that she was just sad. It seemed that Alice also needed time to sort out her emotions before she could tell him everything. He wasn't in a hurry. Besides, it was useless even if he was anxious.
He heard the soft sound of entering the water. He opened his eyes and saw Lola crawling in and snuggling up to his side.
Lola pillowed on his chest and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"A lot of things?"
"Let me guess, it's about Alice?"
Allen laughed and said, "Can this be called a guess? As long as you're not stupid, you'd think about it. "
Lola pretended to be angry and said, "You're actually thinking about a woman!"
He reached out and patted Lola's buttocks, "Don't mess around, I'm thinking about serious things. You'll be scared to death if you say it. Alice is actually Spenak's mother. "
"Who?" Lola suddenly stood up, exposing her graceful curves to the air. "That Demon King? The Sovereign of the Demonic Shadow Empire? "
"Sit down." Allen waved his hand.
Lola snorted and said, "Don't I look good?" Even though he said that, he still sat down. However, he sat on Allen's legs and twisted his body with ill intentions. Allen snorted, "I told you to sit down, but not on my lap."
"Don't you want to?"
"Bullshit!" Allen laughed, "Which man would say that he doesn't want to? That must be a physiological abnormality."
"As for me, I'm quite normal."
As a result, the temperature in the bathroom quickly rose. First, Lola's laughter could be heard, gradually turning into moans. Finally, Lola was so tired that she lay on the edge of the bathtub that she announced the end of the battle. When Allen carried her to the bed, she had already fallen asleep. After covering her with the blanket, Allen's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he walked to the window. Looking out of the window, this angle allowed him to see Alice sitting on the ground on the tallest steeple of the castle.
