The Tower of Eradication, the House of Legacy, the Truth Library.
This was a huge warehouse. The red light of sunset penetrated through the original Crystal Drop glass roof and shone on the rows of giant bookshelves. The books and records made of all kinds of materials were illuminated, making them look dazzling.
"Can you be more serious?"
A thin, handsome, middle-aged man with short gray hair was holding an Everlasting Lamp. He stood behind a row of huge bookshelves and looked at the other side of the bookshelves with dissatisfaction.
There was a sickly blond young man leaning against a bookshelf.
Eternal Star City's Level Two Police Officer, Kohen Karabeyan raised his head with a tired expression and looked at his teacher — Zedi Taffner.
The police officer raised his hand with his last breath.
"Hey! I asked someone to apply for a month's leave, and it took me seven days to rush to the Tower of Eradication! "
"I didn't even catch up on my sleep before you dragged me here!"
"I only ate two pieces of bread in between!"
Cohen slapped his stomach and protested weakly, "What's wrong with you?
"Can't you at least show some concern for the students?"
His teacher, the middle-aged man, Zedi Taffner snorted. He put down the Everlasting Lamp and picked up another book without a care. "You were the one who suggested to look at the inheritor's ancient book … You knew Shao would not agree to it, you stubborn Far Easterner. I can only hurry up and come with you while he's not here. "
Thinking about Master Shao, who was one of the inheritors, and his temper, Cohen leaned against the bookshelf behind him, feeling that he really could not bring himself to look for books.
He said helplessly, "Shao … didn't he give up the right to inherit the Far East's Number One Sword Sect to come to the Tower of Eradication? I thought he wouldn't be so conservative after doing such a thing … "
"How would I know? Shao's inheritance has all sorts of strange rules. In any case, I still haven't figured out the operating rules of those 'sects'. If we're from the Far East Sword Sect, then as a student, you should kowtow to me respectfully the moment you enter."
"If you disrespect me … like now …"
Zedi stared at Cohen fiercely, "I can cripple your swordsmanship!"
Cohen rolled his eyes.
"Did you find any connection between the Disaster Swords and Blood Bottle Gang?" the police officer asked listlessly.
"No, it's still the things that you and I both know." Zedi unhappily stuffed the ancient sheepskin book back into his hands. "Because my efficiency is very low! There's another student who refuses to get up to help! "
Cohen pretended that he did not hear the last sentence. He said in a low voice, "Hmm, then why don't you tell me about the current attitude of the tower towards the 'Disaster Swords'? How much do you know? Maybe I can combine it with the information I saw at the police station? "
Jedi stopped what he was doing and looked at his own student. He was silent for a while.
In the end, he sighed and said, "Alright, but if you want to know, you have to join our secret team."
"Secret team?" Cohen turned around curiously.
"Simply put, it's a small group of people in the Tower of Eradication who have been given a special mission. Their goal is to fight against the legacy of the Sword of Eradication outside the Tower, which is also known as the 'Disaster Sword'.
"I'm in!" Cohen's eyes lit up!
He had to join.
He had to understand more about the Disaster Swords and the violent Power of Eradication.
Even if … for Raphael and Miranda.
He secretly clenched his fists.
"So straightforward?" Jedi said in surprise. Then, he smiled happily. "Alright, this team has Chartier and me. Now, there's one more."
Cohen opened his mouth wide.
"You guys … There are only three of us?"
"A team of three …"
"To fight against the Disaster Swords?"
Cohen looked as if he had been tricked. He looked at his teacher in disbelief. "You must be joking, right?"
"What's wrong with three people! After all, we are a secret team. We have an official name! "Jedi slapped his thigh and said with an unfathomable look.
"Shao calls us the 'Purgers'."
Cohen's expression froze.
'Purgers?
Purging traitors?
Then Raphael … '
"But Chartier thinks that based on the blood debt that Crassus committed, it's better to use the name 'Avengers' …"
Jedi leaned forward with a serious expression. "And I think that based on the importance of our mission, we should be called …"
Cohen subconsciously wanted to cover his ears, but Jedi had already spat out the words.
"Kill Crassus, rebuild the Tower of Eradication, revive the Extraordinary Swords, and save Errol's Jedi Team!"
Cohen looked at his teacher with disdain.
"Haha, I'm joking! The atmosphere is too serious! "
Looking at Cohen's expression as if he had eaten sh * t, Jedi laughed and patted his shoulder. But then, he sighed.
"But unfortunately, until now, our knowledge of that violent Power of Eradication is limited," Jedi said disappointedly. "After all, what we felt when we fought against them was not the full picture of their Power of Eradication."
Cohen also became solemn. "Is there no result at all?"
Jedi looked at his student. After a few seconds, he pursed his lips and said seriously, "No, there are still results. At least we know that the violent and crazy Power of Eradication that originated from the 'Disaster Swords' Crassus …
"Actually, it's to imitate a mysterious and terrifying power from ancient times."
—
"Look, Serena, why don't we sit down and have a good talk?" Thales smiled as he looked at the despairing Katerina and the smug Serena. He said, "There's no need to be so violent."
"Oh …"
Serena raised her eyebrows and threw Katerina away.
* Bang! *
The latter crashed into a nearby tree and struggled to raise her head.
Serena gracefully walked towards Thales.
"Let it out?" Serena looked at the black coffin and flashed a seductive smile. "How? Kick it with your legs? "
Thales' heart started beating uncontrollably.
'Calm down.
'At least she let go of Katerina.
'This is my only chance.
'I must seize it.'
"The Dark Night Black Coffin can only be opened with the key that the king carries with him and the blood of a direct member of the Corleone family." Serena giggled. "In other words, my blood and Katerina's blood."
In the distance, Katerina raised her head strenuously and looked in his direction indignantly.
Her limbs were healing, but it was extremely slow.
Not to mention being reborn.
'This battle between sisters …' She thought in despair, 'There's no hope of turning the tables.
'Is that so?'
Thales took a deep breath. "Rolana and the others must have told you how Ralf and I escaped from the dungeon in Vine Manor, right?"
Serena narrowed her eyes.
"I have a special psionic ability." Thales trembled as he tried his best to weave his own story to make it seem more believable. "It can break all shackles … Why don't I try it on this coffin?"
Thales touched the sharp wooden shard in his hand behind his back, feeling anxious.
He did not manage to cut the rope, but …
It should not be a problem for him to cut himself.
Although the side effects of that power … might be a little big.
However, without the assistance of his hands, would his' losing control 'still work?
Thales laughed bitterly in his heart. 'I can only try to' kill you with my gaze '.'
Serena's steps got closer and closer. "So it's your psionic ability.
"But why do you think I tied your hands?" Serena lowered her head and laughed coldly. "I asked Rolana everything. Your psionic ability can only be activated when you cut yourself with fresh blood!
"This is a condom for you, Your Highness," she said softly.
Thales' heart trembled.
'Did she … notice this a long time ago?'
Serena continued to walk closer.
"That's far enough!" Thales shouted. "Don't come any closer!"
He had calculated that even if Serena flashed over from this distance, she would need at least a second or more.
It was enough time for him to … use that on the coffin.
"I have a wooden shard in my hand." Thales turned his body sideways and revealed a wooden shard. Then, he carefully and quickly turned back. Panting slightly, he said, "It's enough for me to cut my own hand!
"Do you really want to meet that Mystic?" He kicked the black coffin behind him. "Do you want me to knock on the door for you first?"
Serena's eyes were cold.
'This brat.
'Is she betting on whether I dare to take the risk?'
"My dear Thales!"
In Thales' vision, Serena stood still on the spot. She suddenly smiled brightly and spread her hands. "You must have misunderstood!
"I don't plan to hurt you at all.
"To me, a living heir of Constellation is more useful than a dead heir of Constellation, isn't it?
"We have an agreement. With each other's help, you will one day be crowned king, and I will be restored to the throne.
"Have you forgotten? I am still engaged."
Thales frowned.
'This old witch.
'The ugly-faced witch.
"Let's work together! The navy of Eastern Sea Hill and South Coast Hill, together with our natural geographical advantage at Sea-Viewing Cliff, can turn the southern Sea of Eradication, which is rich in Eternal Oil, into Starry Night Alliance's inland sea. "Serena extended her right hand and slowly clenched it into a fist.
"Constellation and Night Alliance, sharing benefits, helping each other, and deterring opponents on their respective continents. Your Eckstedt and Camus Union, our Mane of Night and Hanbol." Serena looked straight at Thales. "This was my initial idea.
"Don't believe her!" In the distance, Katerina spat out a mouthful of blood and said hatefully, "Only the craziest demon would dare to form an alliance with this bitch whose heart is as vicious as a snake and scorpion!"
* Thud! *
Serena smiled coldly. She casually threw a snowball at an extremely fast speed, knocking Katerina out.
Thales took a deep breath.
Serena continued expressionlessly, "I know that you are not an ordinary seven-year-old child. You have maturity and wisdom beyond your age. You know that my idea is feasible."
She extended her hand towards Thales. "We are allies."
Thales lowered his head.
'Allies.
'Haih.'
"You wanted to kill me before," Thales said with a frown.
"It was to divert my younger sister's attention and defeat her in the end." Serena smiled. "It was a pleasure working with you."
But Thales raised his head slightly and shook his head slightly.
"Serena, this is the last time I call you that."
Serena's expression changed.
"Let's end the deception here." Thales sighed and said, "You have never treated me as an ally at all … ugly-faced woman."
Serena's gaze turned cold.
"When we first met, your words were filled with lies. You said that you are the true heir of the Corleone Family, the legitimate and legitimate ruler of the Hill of Pain.
"Regarding this, I did not lie." Serena blinked her large, bewitching eyes. But Thales, who had a deep impression of her 'other side', was not swayed in the slightest.
"I am indeed the Night Wing King, King Laurie Corleone's first heir." Serena grinned and extended her index finger to wipe away a trace of blood on her cheek. She then stuck it into her mouth and sucked.
This action made her even more alluring and enchanting.
However, Thales was secretly anxious. 'How long can I stall for?
What about Aida and the others?
With Serena's speed, I only have one chance to use 'lose control', and the effect is uncertain.
I must not use this trump card until the very last moment. '
"But you did not mention the fact that you killed the previous king." Thales shook his head. "In other words, you are not someone who covets the throne but killed the king's father. Your crime is unpardonable, and everyone has the right to punish you."
Serena's bewitching smile began to freeze.
"Even if you become powerful, I am afraid that no one in the Night Kingdom will support your coronation."
Thales raised his head to look at Serena and enunciated each word clearly.
"It is impossible for you to return to the throne."
The sun was about to set.
There was silence on the snow-covered ground.
Serena stared at him and did not shift her gaze for a long, long time.
"I have had enough of you." Serena's smile disappeared. Her voice was extremely cold. "Self-righteous mortal.
"You are right.
"Even if I kill Katerina here.
"The Sacred Blood Army that is loyal to her, as well as the clans behind the warriors, such as Castigan, Sullivan, Loriloa, and those who covet the Blood Ocean Throne, will not allow me to be crowned.
"So, your real enemies are the opposers who are practically everywhere in the entire Night Kingdom." Thales shut his eyes tightly and exhaled.
"So, you need the power of a country to destroy those opponents that you cannot defeat.
"Originally, I only wanted to borrow your power to intercept Katerina, but the assassination of the Eckstedt Diplomat Group gave me a great revelation." Serena nodded with a frosty expression. "The death of the heir triggered a war between countries.
"After all, the King of Constellation made a sacred oath in front of everyone. If you die, then the person who will avenge you … will be the next king."
Thales sighed.
"The next heir of Constellation died due to the Night Queen's shameless interception, and the latter disappeared without a trace." Serena shook her head and sighed. "How many ambitious people do you think will attack the Night Kingdom at all costs, or at least make a related oath just for the throne of Constellation?
"After all, it will only take a week to cross the Sea of Eradication from Constellation's South Coast Hill to the Night Kingdom.
"War will cleanse the opposers of the Sacred Blood Army and give me a more obedient Night Kingdom." Serena took a step forward fervently. "And the true heir of Corleone will turn the tide at the last moment.
"So, this is the purpose of the alliance. To use Constellation to cleanse your opposers." Thales looked at Serena's expression and said quietly, "The Starry Night Alliance is a complete scam.
"You don't understand, childish brat." Serena sneered. "The alliance is to fight against the enemy."
Thales glanced at the unconscious Katerina.
"No," Serena said coldly, "I mean, to ally with your enemy and betray him at a critical moment.
"Betrayal is the true meaning of an alliance."
Thales furrowed his brows deeply.
'So that's how it is. This is her logic of survival.'
The Starry Night Alliance. Thales' first diplomatic attempt in his life had completely failed.
In the days to come, Thales could not help but think of this scene when he sat at the negotiation table countless times. At the same time, he vigilantly thought of the 'true meaning of an alliance'.
Many historians were surprised at how the Starry Night Alliance could be so stable between two incompatible races during that era. However, only a few people knew that the first Starry Night Alliance only lasted for slightly more than a month before it ended in failure.
"As expected, a cute, capable, yet arrogant and childish loli vampire who had lived for hundreds of years suddenly appeared. She had red eyes and silver hair, called me brother in a coquettish voice, and even fought to marry me." Thales sighed.
"This kind of trick … I was thinking too much!"
