Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1169: Night Visitor

Returning to the suite Ante had arranged for him, the hall was brightly lit, and Lucy placed the golden rose on the table with rows of bullets by her side. She was using a silver knife to carve some fine patterns on the bullet. It was a rose pattern that could cause fragments to explode when the bullet hit its target, increasing its destructive power. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lucy raised her head and saw that it was Alan who smiled and stopped the work in her hands. She loosened her knife, and the silver blade fell, but when it was about to land on the table, it shrank into a ball, and then stretched out its slender limbs, and finally transformed into a silver spider.

It was the Silver Winged Runner, and while they were heading north, Lucy kept it and prepared enough Thames silver to make up for it. The current Little Seven didn't look much different from before, but when it transformed into the form of a silver spider, the details on the silver spider were much more than before. With the addition of Times Silver, Number Seven's body had improved a lot. When necessary, it could already be formed into a puppy-sized alien beast, capable of even more outstanding combat work.

The Silver Spider was still in its current form because it was the most familiar and energy-saving form.

"Where's Bai?" Alan put the Red King down, reached out to touch the ends of Lucy's hair, and asked softly.

Lucy held his hand back and put it against her cheek. "He's asleep and said he's going to help you by keeping up his spirits."

"The Black Twilight King Snake is truly a miraculous creature. I never thought that White would actually evolve into a human form."

"The universe is so big, it's so strange. You sigh at the wonders of Bai just because you haven't seen any more interesting life forms." Lucy smiled and said, "I saw it in the Royal Library. It's a planet called Zhenxing, and there's some wonderful life on it." They can replicate the DNA of other life forms and form themselves into any life form they come into contact with. They are true masters of disguise, and even with their genetic analysis techniques, they cannot be distinguished from their master. "

Alan turned to her, sat down on the table, and gently bounced the silver spider away. The silver spider rolled twice, jumped up, and waved its slender forelimbs, as if expressing its dissatisfaction. Lucy raised her hand and jumped onto the girl's palm. Then, she transformed into a silver bracelet and put it on her wrist. Alan looked at her and said, "The universe is amazing. Our Highness Lucy should have had plenty of opportunities to explore the mysteries of the universe, instead of staying with me on a war-torn planet."

Lucy narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, do you think it would be better to leave Planet Heaven on the Dawn now?" Allen smiled bitterly. "The situation in the empire has gone out of control. I didn't expect the situation to develop to this point." Tangerio was the pillar of the empire. Now that the pillar had collapsed, the empire was torn apart. I stayed because I still have my inheritance here, so I can't let go of anything easily. But how can I put you in such danger? I promised Great Emperor that I would protect you. "

"So your protection is to keep me away from all of this?" Lucy held his hand and said, "No, Ellen. You can't be so selfish. It's just what you think you're protecting. If you want to send me away, you can, but you have to come with me. Otherwise, let me stay. When I left Adahua Planet, I told myself that I won't let anything apart from death!"

Facing such an affectionate confession, all words were lacking and powerless. Alan could only hold Lucy's little face and kiss her gently on the forehead. There was a knock on the door, and Alan raised his head in confusion. Lucy, however, stood up with a smile as if she had expected the visitor to be. She opened the door for the visitor. Under the light, Laura walked in from outside the door. The tall woman took off her armor and put on her narrow clothes and wide trousers, giving her a different flavor. Lucy pulled her in and took Ellen's arm and said, "Come on, it's bedtime."

Alan stroked his forehead. "There's still a war to be fought tomorrow. Will you let me go?"

Laura was nothing. She was a heroic woman, and she was already Alan's woman. But Lucy blushed and scolded, "What are you thinking? We're just sleeping and chatting tonight. We're not doing anything else."

"Oh, that's a bit of a pity." Ellen said deliberately.

Lucy rolled her eyes. "Otherwise, you'd better go somewhere else to sleep."

"Am I wrong?" Alan said with a bitter face.

The two women laughed out loud when they saw his appearance.

The night gradually darkened, and the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, causing the earth to darken. Only the campfires on both sides flashed in the dense night. Due to the war, the residents of Trisen Town, which was the closest to Unicorn Fort, had already been evacuated to another place. Only three or two elderly people who did not want to leave remained in Ruokong Town to guard the town.

Old John was one of them. They had arranged to take turns at the clock tower at the entrance of the town. It was Old John's turn tonight. The old man had lived in the town for most of his life, and he was very familiar with the grass and trees in the town. He had seen many babies who were born on the ground, and he had seen familiar people sleep with their eyes closed. For old John, town is his home. He couldn't get him to leave home, so he stayed.

On this hot night Old John laid a bench in front of the clock tower gate, and he lay on it with a long, thin cigarette holder in his mouth. The town was quiet, except for the clattering of old john's cigarettes. While he was drowsy, he heard the sound of horse hooves and the muffled sound of wheels rolling to the ground. Old John sat up doubtfully and saw the light of a lantern approaching from afar in the vast night outside the town.

It was indeed a carriage. The horse pulling the carriage was black and tall. Its nose emitted a white aura. Its eyes were as red as gemstones. Under the dark night, it was like two balls of red flames. After they passed by, they unexpectedly dragged out a few light red rays of light in the air. As for the carriage, it was pitch black, without any signs. From afar, it looked more like a black coffin. Old John stood up nervously, grabbed his son's hunting rifle with his already inflexible hand, and pointed towards the direction outside the town and shouted, "Stop, who are you?"

The guard in the carriage skillfully pulled on the reins, stopping the horse in its tracks and stopping at an open space less than ten meters away from Old John. The guardian was covered in a thick, dark cloak. Under the cloak was a set of silver-gray armor. Even under the brim of his hat, what he saw was not a face, but an iron mask. Apart from his slightly thinner body, this mysterious guardian made Old John's hair stand on end. josei

Facing the old man's questioning, the imperial guard remained silent. If he hadn't heard the sound of breathing coming from under the iron mask and the regular undulation of his opponent's chest, Old John would have thought that beneath the cloak and armor was actually an invisible ghost.

The imperial guard was speechless, and the atmosphere seemed solemn. At this time, the carriage opened and someone walked out. Under the light of the horse lamp hanging in front of the throne, Old John saw that it was a man. He was handsome and tall, with long black hair that was rarely seen, and his eyes shone with starlight. He was a man with extraordinary temperament. He stood there, tall as a mountain, suppress old John to that point where he could hardly breathe.

Only when he spoke did the terrifying pressure disappear.

"We are passers-by. We want to find a place to rest in town." The man said.

Old John shook his head and said, "There's going to be a war here. If I were you, I'd turn around and leave now. Besides, the town has long since run out. There are hotels, but no one will serve you."

"I know there's going to be a war here. In fact, that's why we're here. If there's a chance, we're willing to do something for this war." The man raised his hand, and something flew out of his palm. It rolled in the air, and the lights reflected dots of fluorescence on its body. It landed on Old John.

The old man subconsciously reached out to catch it. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a gold coin.

The man continued, "Take us to the hotel. It's an emergency. We don't have much to ask for, as long as we have a place to rest."

Old John licked his lips and put the gold away happily, "Come with me, stranger, I hope you're used to it."

As the old man had said, the only hotel in town was now dark, and no one could be seen. The carriage stopped in front of the hotel gate and the man got off. Only then did Old John notice that there was a cloaked monster in the carriage besides the imperial guard. These strange fellows, the old man thought, but he did not intend to dig deeper. He opened the door and said to the man, "Anyway, no one is staying now. You can choose all the rooms here. Remember to close the door again when you leave tomorrow."

The man nodded and tossed him another gold coin. "I think you'll be happy to prepare breakfast for everyone. You don't need to be very generous. You just need to fill your stomach."

Old John put away the second gold coin and said, "Breakfast is not difficult. Don't expect it to be delicious."

The old man carried the musket and left, while the man and the other two casually chose a room. One of them lit the oil lamp in the room, then took off his cloak and took off his mask, revealing a seductive female face. When the two cloaked eccentrics took off their masks, they were actually twin sisters. They took off their robes for the man and said, "Lord Stark, you are not afraid that the little king will be angry with us for traveling so secretly."

If Alan was here, he would definitely be shocked. Because the man who secretly came to Trichen was the culprit for the sneak attack on Tangerio, the current Prime Minister of the Empire, Stark. Those two women were naturally Stark's two sword slaves. Stark's handsome face was expressionless as he said indifferently, "What does it have to do with me if he's angry? I gave him this king."

Another sword slave said, "My lord, why are we here in the South? This place is full of enemies."

Stark smiled. "Of course it's for my brother."
