Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1334: VIP Castle

On the mask of the liquid helmet, Zhi Nao projected a map of the human body. The chart shows that the life expectancy of the men on the ground is pitifully low, and many vital organs in their bodies are seriously injured. If it was an ordinary person, they would have already died several times. He was still alive. Apart from his will, he was relying on the remaining Origin Energy in his body to barely maintain the operation of some seriously injured organs. However, as long as the Origin Energy disappeared and the organs stopped functioning, this person's life would end.

"Amazing vitality." After reading the mask, the captain of the search squad couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder this young race has a place in high-level warfare. It's truly terrifying that anyone's vitality is so strong."

At this time, he received a report from the other team members. There was no other thing worth recycling in this castle. Even the human on the ground was seriously injured to death, so there was no need to recycle it. They were destined to make a trip in vain, which made the captain of the Nelm somewhat angry. He glanced at the human on the ground and said on the communication channel, "You guys go first. I'll catch up with this human when I'm done with him."

His so-called treatment naturally did not contain any good intentions. The captain lowered his helmet, revealing a face that was smiling sinisterly. He squatted down and pressed the armored Particle Cannon against the human's chest, "You humans, just die obediently." Do you know how many generals we lost on this island that night? There are a total of thirteen of them. Although you left fifteen corpses behind, it's not enough! How can the lives of you lowly races be equal to the lives of our noble generals! "

"Now you should thank me, anyway, you are about to die, it is better for me to end your life. In this way, your lowly life can finally add a little bit of chips to the scale of war. You don't have to worry too much. Soon, a mountain of corpses will definitely be piled up on your side of the scales, and you're just one of them. It's pleasant to think about it. "

The particle cannon began to charge, and the face of the person under the muzzle was gradually illuminated by the light. Seemingly stimulated by the light, he opened his eyes slightly, but his vision was blurry. However, there was one thing that he could see clearly. It was a ray of light.

Golden light.

It was like summer sunshine passing through a gap in a tree, just like the scene he had seen when he was lying under a tree in his youth. He wanted to reach out and touch the light, but this normally simple action was very difficult to do now. Before he could lift the expert, the golden light flashed and disappeared.

The light from the muzzle was disappearing.

One of the heads rolled to the side of the man on the ground. On the face of this head, the morbid excitement of the Nelm captain hadn't faded away when his head was cut off.

Then, he kicked the head away with one foot, and then he held the man's palm with the other hand. Horn squatted down beside the headless corpse and sighed deeply as he looked at Hyderick, whose life would not last long.

Hyderick, who had already reached the dying stage, could no longer see clearly, but it was as if he knew who was beside him. He smiled and said softly, "It's all mine."

There was no breath left.

Horn closed his eyes and opened them for a long time. He put Hyderick's hand on his chest and closed his eyes for him. "Yes, it's all yours. This castle will always be yours. I wish you were the same boy who ran all over the mountains in spring and was tired of catching cicadas in summer. Unfortunately, there are some things that will never come back."

The old man stood up and walked over to the corpse of the Nelm man. "But there are some things that it's not too late to do now," he murmured.

A moment later, the castle exploded. Within the flames, a figure walked out. Horn, who was wearing tactical armor, raised his liquid helmet, and hid Qiu Yan in his armor, sneaked into the search team. After leaving the island's wreckage, he boarded an airship to escort a batch of research specimens to the Nelm Star Destroyer.

Agares.

Ellen, who didn't know that war was raging on Earth, rested in Bai Xicheng for a day. The next day, they left with Laura, Hubble, Trisley, and Baili, while Belmord stayed behind to guard Hillon with the Monarchs of Mitinas and Bai Xicheng. Alan didn't bring a single soldier with him, so he rode along with Blue Devil into the depths of the Realm of the Forgotten. Along the way, he met up with Spider Empress Yami. However, even with the two of them leading the way, when Alan saw the nameless castle in the valley, half of which was embedded in the mountain, it would still be a dozen days later.

At this moment, in the square in front of the castle, a dozen figures could be seen standing on either side. Among them, there were two figures whose auras couldn't be ignored even by Alan. They were a person covered in heavy armor, and the other was an iceberg that constantly emitted a cold aura. Alan knew that these were Alice's generals, and these two must be the best among them.

Judging from their auras alone, they were no weaker than Blue Devil and Yami. Especially the general who was hiding under the heavy armor, his aura was as deep as the Abyss Sea, completely different from the Blue Devil Race.

As Blue Devil led them forward, the cold general suddenly stood in the middle of the road and blocked their path.

Blue Devil frowned, "Xue Feng, what are you doing?"

Xue Feng glanced at Blue Devil and said, "Get lost. This has nothing to do with you."

Blue Devil's eyes glowed with blue light. Suddenly, another figure appeared in front of him. It turned out to be the general called Tong Wu. He faced Xue Feng silently with his back facing the Blue Devil. Xue Feng looked at the bronze man's mask, but he couldn't see anything under it. Until Tong Wu's hoarse and mechanical voice rang out under his mask, "They are guests invited by His Excellency."

"So what?"

"In other words, no matter who dares to stop me, I will make a move. Even you don't have any face to speak of."

'"You" Xue Feng pointed at Alan and said, "Don't you think there's something fishy about this? Why did His Excellency invite a mere human? Also, don't forget, this human once confronted His Excellency in the Spirit Kingdom. Heavens knows if he did anything to His Excellency at that time. In short, we can't let a human in easily!"

"Enough!" Copper Martial stretched out his hand to support the Iceman's chest, and the general named Xue Feng immediately flew backwards. Seeing this, Blue Devil and Yami looked at each other. As both generals, there was actually such a big gap between Xue Feng and Tong Wu. In front of this bronze man, he couldn't even stand firm!

"You are questioning the strength of your lord. Don't cause any complications, Xue Feng. If you continue to act recklessly, don't blame me for being impolite."

Xue Feng pushed away the two generals who were supporting him and snorted. His heart was filled with unwillingness, but there was no next step. At this moment, the entrance to the castle opened. Someone walked out of the castle, dressed as a housekeeper. Grace, an expert from the wasteland of the past, walked over with his hands behind his back.

Bronze Tortoise turned to show his respect for the butler of the castle. Although his eyes were blind, Grace could sense any aura in his surroundings as if he was aware of the changes in his surroundings. He nodded and smiled in the direction of Tong Wu, and then said to Allen, "Come with me, guests from afar. Lord Alice will be waiting for you in the Time Hall."

Hearing the few people in the hall of time, Blue Devil and the other generals revealed unnatural expressions. Only Tong Wu didn't know how he felt because he couldn't see his face clearly. The reason why Blue Devil and the other generals were unnatural was because the Time Hall belonged to one of the several forbidden areas in the castle. Apart from Alice and housekeeper Grace, no one else could step on it. Even for generals like them, Alice's place of reception would not be the Hall of Time.

Now that she was meeting this outsider Alan in the Time Hall, other than Tong Wu, the other generals were probably unhappy.

Grace added, "Your Excellency only receives Mr. Allen. Your servants can only wait for you somewhere else for the time being."

Alan smiled and corrected, "They are my followers, not servants."

"I was wrong. I'm very sorry." Grace turned to face Laura and the others and generously admitted his mistake.

When she saw the old butler's appearance, Trisley whispered, "You are you are Lord Grace? That's right, although you look much older, your general appearance is very similar to Lord Grace's portrait!"

Alan looked at Trisley doubtfully.

The latter said excitedly, "Lord Grace is a contemporary of Roddo. He and Roddo are considered the most outstanding figures of their time by the people of the Great Wasteland." The difference was that Roddy had received much attention because he had brought back the information of the Forgotten Realm. But before that, Lord Grace was already a legend. "It can be said that only the Black Death God is a great figure in the Great Wasteland. If he hadn't gone to the Forgotten Realm, then the first co-owner would have appeared in the Great Wasteland!"

Only then did Alan realize that this blind old man in front of him had such a glorious past. However, the question arose again. What was the reason why the overlord of the great wasteland was willing to be an unknown butler in this secluded ancient castle?

Perhaps only Grace knew about this secret.

Grace smiled and said, "It's been so many years. I didn't expect to recognize him. You're right, and you're wrong. I'm indeed Grace, but I'm not a Black God of Death. The Black God of Death died long ago when I entered the Realm of the Forgotten."

Then he said to Allen, "Please follow me. We have already delayed too much. Don't let the lord wait too long."

Alan followed Grace into the castle. The moment he stepped into the castle, his entire body tensed up. The feeling of the castle was very strange. It was clearly a dead thing, but it made him feel as if he had entered the body of an ancient beast. "Please relax, honorable guest," laughed the old butler. "I can feel the extraordinary nature of this castle. It seems that you are indeed qualified to be received by your Excellency. You should know that the generals under your command have entered the castle more often than you, but no one has noticed anything special about this castle."

"Yes, I'm guessing that Tong Wu will notice. However, that big iron man is stuffy in his heart. I'm not sure."
