Devil’s Son-in-Law

Chapter 908: Ghost City Ruins

Turin Kingdom, Cloud City.

The evening glow in the sky is soft and beautiful, like the edge of a sunset skirt, showing the world what it looks like today.

A man and a woman are walking hand in hand on Cloud City Avenue, which is very common for both men and women, making them look blind in the crowd. No one could have imagined that the man who did not look amazing was now known as Arthur, the three princes of the dragon empire of all nations.

Chen Rui's masquerading technique can become anyone's appearance. Even the pseudo-gods can't see Tian Ni. Laura's deformation technique is equally brilliant. Even if an assassin walks face to face at this time, he won't know that the two are the targets of the assassination.

Pagliu and the "Welcome Team", which had been abandoned in Gaton City, had already travelled to Ming Mirror City in the Kingdom of Loya. The team would reach the Kingdom of Starlight through the portal of Ming Mirror City, and then the Kingdom of Starlight would lead directly to the Empire of Blue Yaw, which was the fastest route.

Chen Rui left the team with Miss Fairy Dragon. His first destination was not the Blue Yaw Empire, but the Emerald Forest Sea. So this is the fastest route to the Emerald Forest Sea, from the Evening Studios of the Yang Dynasty to the Kingdom of Turin, the White Ride Kingdom, etc., and then by waterway to the Emerald Forest Sea.

After handling the Dwarf and Pokémon affairs, Chen Rui will enter the Blue Yaw Empire through the Emerald Forest Sea. Anyway, after Pagliu and others arrive in the Blue Yaw Empire, he will slow down and wait for the real protagonist "Arthur” to come and join us for the wedding.

Chen Rui and Laura crossed the border of Evening Studios. When they arrived in Cloud City in the Kingdom of Turin in two days, it was not too early. At this time, they were still a long way from Silver Thor City on the border of the White Ride Kingdom, so they decided to stay in Cloud City for a temporary night.

The Kingdom of Turin is a small country, the name of Yuncheng is beautiful, but it is situated on the edge, far less prosperous than those cities of the Yangtze Kingdom, much less a barren small town compared to the Dragon Empire, the only commendable handicrafts here are quite beautiful.

“Laura, do you like these earrings? ”

“Mmm.”

“This necklace is perfect for you. ”

“Mmm.”

“This dress...”

“Mmm.”

“Laura? ”

“Hmm?”

“What's the matter? ”

“I like it all.” (I really like it) Although the answer is very simple, Miss Fairy Dragon's heart is as sweet as drinking honey. As long as Chen Rui chooses, it has been confirmed without exception.

Chen Rui looked at Laura's eyebrows and smiled. She liked not only these gifts, but also this life and this feeling.

He likes it too.

Love cannot be a thrill, a thrill of death, a warmth that is more plain as water and wet as foam.

He lived and died a few years ago, was exhausted, ended the wars of the magic world, and published a magic game against the abyss in both worlds, not for any great ambition, just to protect his cherished people and cherished happiness.

To that end, he will continue to move forward in the face of the dangers of the unknown ahead.

“Boss,” Laura glanced, picking up something, "I'll take this. ”

“Wrap it together.” Chen Rui said.

Laura shook her head: "I paid for this, I bought it for Dodo. ”

Chen Rui looked at the delicate little toy and thought of the lovely little phoenix daughter who would leave a saliva mark on his face every day. Her heart was warm and she couldn't help but hold Laura's hand tightly.

“You miss Dodo?” Laura's understanding with Chen Rui is getting deeper and deeper: “And Asina and them? ”

Chen Rui nodded and Laura leaned gently over his shoulder: "Next time bring Asina and them out together. ”

“Mm-hmm." Chen Rui knew that it was really difficult, and that Shea, Catherine and Asina were all very important and it was almost impossible to leave their posts for long periods of time, especially the two queens, and perhaps one day they could completely remove the burden from their shoulders in order to really relax.

“Gentlemen, this is the product you have chosen.” The owner of the boutique is a smiling old man, smiling at the couple's men and women, "Your Excellency is four black coins and twelve white coins. The little toy the lady bought was three purple coins and seven white coins, which were removed at the end of the day, totalling four black coins and three purple coins, thank you. ”

Chen Rui and Laura paid for it, and the boss kindly added: “You two must have come from outside. It's getting dark now. Find a hotel to stay in. Be sure not to go out at night. I have to close the door immediately. ”

Chen Rui stood still and asked: "Curfew at night? Even if it's a curfew, it's too early. ”

“It's not a curfew… this time of year, even the guards dare not come out easily at night. ”

Laura carefully discovered the abnormality of the streets outside. She appeared to be quite lively when she had previously entered Cloud City. She only walked through several shops. The pedestrians had become scarce. Most of them appeared to be in a hurry. She seemed to want to hurry back, and two thirds of the shops closed their doors.

Chen Rui asked curiously: "What is going on here? ”

“Since you've come to Cloud City, you haven't even heard of this? This is the famous ghost town!” The boss looked around and said carefully: "Every evening, the area of Cloud City is surrounded by a mysterious power that is horrible and absorbs the soul and vitality of mankind, and even when walking outside, the power of the body is devoured. Legend has it that some kind of horrible grievance spirit is acting weird, and people who go out are sucked out of their flesh and soul. There are also legends that it is a curse, a curse on the darkness behind the light... this situation has existed for many years, I don't know the exact time. A number of daring adventurers deliberately went out at night to find out, and the next day, when they were discovered, they had turned into a dead bone. After such events, no one dared to try again. Even the church people advised us not to go out at night, and the shining knights of the Metropolitan Hall of Light had visited us several times for nothing. It's not the right time for you to come this week, it's the best time of the year. Find a hotel to stay in, or it'll be dangerous if you're late. ”

“The curse that has plagued the city for years? Grievance Ling?” After leaving the store, Miss Fairy Dragon's eyes seemed a little flashing. Chen Rui could see that the owner's kind reminder did not alert Laura, but generated interest.

For the scientist Lady Fairy Dragon, grievance spirit is just a more spiritual dead creature, curse is just another form of magic and elemental attack, rarely encounter this research object, how can I miss it?

As for the grievance or curse or something, Chen Rui did not care, he had super systems and many abilities, and Laura had a six-element country, and the apparent strength of the two had reached the peak of the country, and even if there was a grievance or curse, it was not enough to fear.

“Let's find a place to rest, have a drink," Chen Rui told Laura to stay, then the guy kissed her on the back of the hand: "Then, when it's dark, we'll meet the so-called grudges, Lord Valley? ”

The last name reminded Laura of Chen Ruichiu's past as an “assistant” in Rainbow Valley. Her eyes flowed gently, “Oh," and she leaned closer to him.

Late at night.

If you can't see a pedestrian in Yuncheng, even the guards guarding the gates of the city are hidden in the fortress of the city, in fact, once in the night, the whole "ghost city” doesn't dare to go in or out or mess around in the city... apart from the two new “tourists” in the city.

“It is indeed a strong grudge, some of which resemble the spirit of the dead, no wonder it is considered a grudge.” Laura feels the intense dark power of the city carefully, "but feels less like pure death. ”

Chen Rui added: “This aura has a certain erosion effect on the soul and is prone to some hallucinations, but does not cause much substantial harm, which should be considered the reason for the 'curse’. ”

Laura nodded, closing her eyes, and opened her senses with all her might: "It's a rich strange force, and it also interferes greatly with perception, but the brilliance of the dark elements tells me that this source should be outside the city. ”

“Then solve the mystery. ”

Neither one of them had to move, just to maintain a certain speed and fly together, with Laura's sensation, one step closer to the source of the opposite force, a rubble of rubble all over the forest.

This rubble is clearly located on the outskirts of Cloud City, quite a long way from home, yet the alien forces emitted encapsulate the entire city.

Chen Rui frowned: “This rubble is large, looks like some kind of rubble. It's quite old, and it's very dead. I can't feel any living creatures at all, etc. There is a special kind of power in it, it seems to be...”

“It's an ancient phrase! The breath is quite secret... I think I found a hub.” Laura picked up a sentence, her hands slipped away, a huge faulty column buried in the rock slowly stood up, Laura was careful. Under the moonlight, Chen Rui saw a special circular symbol hidden on the faulty column.

After the broken column stood up, Chen Rui's mental power clearly felt the change around him, as if he had turned on a switch. Of course, not everyone had the same sensibility as Laura and him, especially the understanding of the ancient phrase, and it was even more unlikely to find this hub at the first moment in the broken stone hedge.

“This is a regular sort of game.” Despite the change in appearance, the light in Miss Fairy Dragon's purple eyes made Chen Rui very familiar, as if the child had found something interesting to play with. “I see, it's like the last time you played the Nine Palaces game, to calculate the right number, turn it on one by one, let me see...”

This solving thought is a pleasure for Laura. Chen Rui did not disturb her, but measured the surrounding situation. The forest is large, but it is not yet fully covered by the ruins. Chen Rui has visited the ruins of Choi Fante in the Fallen Angel Empire, which are far from commensurate with the size of this ruin.

“Thirty-five meters west, this... and then twelve meters north..." Laura here has quickly calculated the order and position of a hub, swinging between her hands, and an object has been erected.

These “hubs” have strict sequential requirements and appear complicated, but Chen Rui and Laura are both proficient in ancient phrases, and the level of the Magic Array is at the master level, which is a difficult level for two people.

Chen Rui noticed that all these hubs were surrounded by moving marks. Looks like Laura wasn't the first to open the hub, and you can see that circular symbol in several places in the ruins, like a cloud... Cloud City?

The sound of “Boom Lung" sounded, interrupting Chen Rui's thoughts. Turns out Laura has successfully started all the hubs, and the erected objects start to glow, connecting to each other, interweaving into a strange graphic, the light passes slightly, and the underlying landscape begins to change rapidly.

A strong spiritual power bursts out, filled with resentment that erodes the soul, and is immense, as if Chen Rui had met the resentment at the bottom of the sea of death in the demonic realm.

The view below gradually became clearer, formerly a shielding force of space, which has now been lifted by Laura, and a avenue can be seen that leads to a similar square in front, with a hidden light.

“Heh! Heh!"... ”countless cold lights whistle towards Laura in the air, extremely fast, and the shadow flashes below - someone!
