Monarch of Evernight
Chapter 43: The Dark Way
The sheriff is in charge of one end alone, and Thousand Nights and One-Eyed is in charge of the other. Three people exhaled and pressed together, lifting the gate weighing up to a ton and pushing it toward the city building.
Though the One-Eyed Man has not activated the Force Node, he has also been practicing, not far from activating the first Force Node. And his gift is strength. Thousands of nights are a steady demonstration of the strength of a first-degree soldier, not less than a few.
Seventeen-year-old 1st Class soldiers are enviable at best, but 17-year-old 2nd Class soldiers are different. How can a man who is qualified to join an Imperial Special Legion run to this barren place and open a small bar?
At 8: 00 a.m., all three were exhausted. But the city gate is only halfway through the restoration. To assemble the power boiler with the half rack, you have to order parts from the big city.
It will take up to a week for new parts to arrive. The bald sheriff, in spite of his worries, can only have another week of daunting days.
By this time, the upper continent will be dawn. But in the dark season of the Everlasting Continent, the trajectories of several upper continents meet over the Everlasting Continent, blocking the sun.
During the day, only 10: 00 am to 3: 00 pm will be bright on the Continent, and the rest will be dark.
In the night sky, the round moon is still hanging there. According to the legend of the Continent of Everlasting Night, as long as the gloomy moon appears, disaster will occur. When the blood moon is empty, the power of the Dark Race will increase, and wild native beasts will become more violent and violent.
Seeing the blood moon in the sky, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, all of a thousand times, He can smell almost everyone in town. That burning smell of blood almost drove him crazy!
The sheriff quickly returned to the bar, shut the door tightly, and fell to the ground like a beast.
The thirst for blood is almost unbearable, and this feeling of pain and emptiness is stronger than the onset of drug addiction by 'Extraordinary'. Had it not been for Thousand Nights in the practice of troop hunting, the will of the Red Scorpion King would have been conquered by bloodthirst and turned into a true blood slave.
He lay on the cold floor at night, biting a towel in his mouth and not letting himself scream. He grabbed the steel bars welded into the wall with one hand and hit the floor with one hand!
Tong, tong! Tong!
A dull noise came out of the bar, and the whole of Manche Chava was trembling slightly with the sound. There are no guests in the bar at this time, and the noise travels through the empty lobby.
A few desert pickers just passed by the bar, and they heard this strange, dull noise, a big change of face, a change of course, away from Mansh Savannah, just like a demon in this bar.
An hour later, the night struggled to climb. He walked to the closet, took a blood packet out of it, carefully squeezed a few drops of blood into his mouth, and immediately sealed it, putting it back where it belonged with great will.
With a few drops of blood in the entrance, a thousand nights immediately came out sweating like nothing, breathing down against the wall.
Now he has to drink a few drops of blood in order to calm down his bloodthirsty instincts. In the beginning, however, a thousand nights can carry a bloodthirst without anything. But three months ago, he needed to lick a drop of blood in order to quench his thirst. By now, a thousand nights requires nearly a spoonful of blood to be able to deceive the body and quench its thirst.
Animal blood has gradually become ineffective, and the temptation of human blood has multiplied. Following this trend, the millennium is estimated to last up to another year. Though his days of intransigence have been miraculous, the way forward remains dark without a glimmer of light.
The gaze of the thousand nights fell in the cupboard again, this time not the blood packet, but the military knife pressed under the blood packet. It's a Red Scorpion multipurpose knife with a silver-plated layer that's damaged. Put it here for a thousand nights so that one day when you can't hold back your bloodthirsty instincts, you can end your life with it.
The black silk bag was also placed next to the blood packet.
Thousands of nights laughed ridiculously, and now he has at least one more suicide option. Demonic silver bullets have a must-kill effect on titled vampires, not to mention his half blood slave. If you swallow a broken silver bullet a thousand nights later, all the organs inside your body will be burned into coke. And you can't see any scars on the outside.
At least die prettier, think at night.
This is another change that happened to him after he was contaminated with the blood of darkness, beginning to instinctively like beautiful things.
But as if he had not committed suicide immediately, he would never give up until the last moment.
He walked to the powerhouse behind the bar, adding a few more shovels of black stone to the big metal guy, half the size of the bar. This will allow the steam furnace to burn all day, not only providing the necessary power for the bar, but also keeping the kiln warm. Thousands of nights produce wines that are fermented at room temperature of 60 degrees for 10 days before they have the best taste.
There are public blackstone steam towers in small towns, but this luxury is not supported, and Manchester Savannah and a limited number of families in the town have their own independent power units.
At 10 a.m., just before dawn, the bar door was pushed open and a big man with a tattoo came in.
When he saw the thousand nights, he walked up and patted him on the shoulder of the thousand nights enthusiastically and said, "Brother, there's another game! Prince Zhao asked me to come to you. This time it's a little far away. We have to leave early. The old rules, I'll keep an eye on the store, you go ahead! ”
Nodded a thousand nights, took a bottle of spirits from the liquor cabinet, stuffed it in the arms of the strong man and said, "Old rules, this is yours. ”
The big man grinned and punched him in the chest at night.
A moment later, a thousand nights later, they arrived at a tall industrial factory in the northeast corner of the town. In the aftermath of the Dawn War, it was once a mechanical parts manufacturing plant of considerable size and was said to produce military goods as well. But the factory was abandoned as the top citizens of the Empire moved to the middle and upper continents, where they lived in a better environment.
Now, the factory has become a place for Prince Zhao and his men.
Prince Zhao is young and under thirty years old. He was born very handsome and has the cleanliness and elegance that wilderness Aboriginal people do not have. He is said to be the illegitimate son of an extended family of the Empire, who for some reason strayed to the Continent of Everlasting Night. The townspeople called him Prince Zhao, but no one knew his real name.
In the Empire, Zhao is a special surname. The Zhao family is a millennial Wang clan. The ancestors of the Zhao family participated in the Dawn War and were one of the seven founding marshals of the Empire when it was founded. By today, Zhao's power has not diminished, and Zhang, Bai, Song and Li Empire's four main valves are ranked only below Zhang.
So rumors are untrustworthy. The Prince Zhao, even if slightly tied to the branch of the Zhao family branch, will not fall to the point of collecting protection fees in a broken town on the Yongnight mainland.
Prince Zhao did have some strength. As a first-degree soldier, it was more than enough to suppress the dozen gangsters under his command. However, his ambitions appear to be beyond the confines of Beacon Town, and he has recently frequently interacted with forces in surrounding towns.
Disputes arise from dealings, which are popular and more moderate among forces in the form of gambling. After all, once the two forces have officially begun the war, it is inevitable that they will be badly damaged. Needless to say, the losing party will naturally be doomed, but if the winning party pays too much, it will sooner or later be swallowed up by other forces.
Seeing the arrival of the thousand nights, Prince Zhao immediately overflowed with a smile, hugging the shoulders of the thousand nights, and said affectionately: “Finally, I'm waiting for you! Dude, we're gonna bet big this time. You can't lose! If you win, I'll pay for Minnie to stay with you for three nights. If you think she's not enough, then the woman around me, besides Yun, you can choose whatever you want! ”
“Or a virtual fight?” Thousand Nights Ask.
“Of course! You are the king of the ring! ”
“Okay, woman, I don't want it. For this reward, I still want those pills. ”
“No problem! But the next merchant team won't be in Black Stream in ten days. You'll probably need half a month to get those pills. If you win this time, I'll buy you a double! ”
“One bottle is enough. ”
Prince Zhao patted his shoulder for a thousand nights and smiled. "I will never change my mind about what Prince Zhao promised. That's a deal! This game is very important to me, you just have to win. ”
At this point, there was a heavy roar from the engine outside, and two loaded off-road trucks stopped outside the plant. Prince Zhao pulled Thousand Nights and two other murderous, fierce-faced guys into one car, while the other twenty batters squeezed into the other.
These are two steam-powered vintage trucks because they are sturdy and easy to repair, making them more popular on the ever-night continent than motorcycles with analog power. Its only disadvantage is that it is slow, and the noise and smell are simply not tolerated by the best.
Two trucks bumped for four hours at a 30-kilometre turtle speed, and it was a small miracle that there was no malfunction. At this point, the contours of a large city have emerged. This is not a small place for thousands of people like Lighthouse Town, but a black drifting city with more than 100,000 people.
From a distance, the walls of Blackcurrents, up to 10 metres high, are much more magnificent than the towns of Lighthouse, and the metal skeletons appear in bare blue stones. Every few hundred metres on the walls, there is a cannon and two bed crossbows.
These vintage bed crossbows are much more powerful than artillery when dealing with the Dark Race and some of the biggest beasts in shape, making them popular on the Continent of Everlasting Nights. Steam-driven, gear-stranded mechanical devices also make resetting the bed crossbow easier and much more practical.
There are several more giant cigarette canisters up to 100 metres in Black Stream City, spraying black smoke from the group, the city's core energy facility, the perpetual tower.
The most striking nature is the ever-flaming lighthouse. This is not a 20-metre little thing like Lighthouse Town, it's a huge 150-metre thing that, in addition to serving as the coordinates of a thousand miles around, prevents a floating boat to and from Black Stream from accidentally entering the energy zone and crashing into those cigarettes.
Compared to Lighthouse Town, Black Stream is a giant beast armed to the teeth.
Two trucks breathed heavily and drove into Black River City. Mr. Zhao does have a small reputation in the surrounding area, even the city fees can be paid without charge.
