Chapter 704: So Desperate
After listening to what Dainsleib said, Kong suddenly had an idea in his mind and immediately realized why so many Hilichurls gathered in this place, and why they all came in but not left.
He touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "In other words, the reason why the hillbillies came here is because the curse can be weakened here?" Kong's mind worked quickly and he connected everything together.
After listening to Kong's words, Dainsleb nodded, then looked at him again with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, as if he was expecting Kong to have more in-depth thoughts.
"Well, let me ask you another question. Do you know why the Hillichuls wear masks?" Upon hearing this question, Kong shook his head honestly, "I'm not sure. I've never understood it before."
He really didn't pay attention to these things on a daily basis, and there was no need to pay special attention to such things. After all, it would not help him at all.
After hearing Sora's answer, Deinsleb took a deep breath, as if gathering up his courage, and then slowly looked towards the inverted ruins. The ruins were not so clear in the dim light, giving people a hazy feeling.
"Because they are avoiding their current appearance and are afraid of their reflections in the water. After all, compared with their memories, they are too ugly and too desperate."
After hearing what Kong said, he understood immediately, "So the Hillock people are also Kanreya people?"
There was a hint of realization in his eyes, mixed with a hint of emotion. It was true that when the nest is overturned, no one is left unscathed. Even the most ordinary people had suffered such a horrible curse.
Dainsleib did not answer Sora's question, because the question was too heavy, and it was difficult for both the former "Knight of the Last Light" and the current him to speak out.
That period of history was filled with pain and despair, and every mention of it was like uncovering a scar that had yet to heal. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "The Undead Curse is actually... not truly permanent "immortality." "
When Paimon heard this, she was immediately confused, and her eyes flashed with hope, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Is there still a chance of reversal?" If the curse can be reversed, then it should not be called despair, at least there is still a glimmer of hope.
When Dainsleb heard what Paimon said, he immediately shook his head and denied her idea. His eyes were full of helplessness and sadness, and he said slowly: "No. But under the effect of "wear and tear", the soul and body will still be worn out, even if it is not in the form of "death". When those hillbillies realize that the end of themselves is approaching, they seem to instinctively look for a quiet and dark corner to bid farewell to hundreds of years of pain. And this place that can weaken the effect of the curse must be the best coffin for them. "His tone was full of helplessness and sadness, sadness for the people of Kanreya, and helplessness about his own future ending.
If the curse could really be reversed, then the survivors of Kanreya would not have done such extreme things. It was precisely because the law of nature made things too desperate that they would jump into the abyss without hesitation and merge with it.
After hearing what Dainsleib said, Paimon's originally happy expression was instantly replaced by despair, "It turned out... to be like this..."
She murmured to herself, her voice full of loss and helplessness. I thought it could be reversed, but I didn't expect it to end like this, and I didn't expect it to be so cruel.
"No one can stop or eliminate the curse issued by Heavenly Law, not to mention that the curse she imposed on Kanriya was at the cause and effect level."
Lin Feng sighed helplessly and said, "Cause and effect is a supreme and irresistible force, and everything that Kan Ruiya has suffered is undoubtedly a horrible manifestation of this force. Everything related to Kan Ruiya will be included in the curse."
Listening to Lin Feng's words, Dainsleb did not refute this time, because what Lin Feng said was the truth. How desperate it was to have a curse that could not be reversed or eliminated. Under such a curse, even death was a luxury.
Thinking of this, Dainsreb suddenly looked around with a sharp gaze, his sharp eyes piercing through the mist in the air with a vigilant look.
"Enough chatting, be alert!" His voice was serious and urgent, like a heavy hammer, breaking the originally dull atmosphere.
The sound echoed in the silent space, carrying an unquestionable sense of urgency, instantly tense everyone's nerves.
Paimon was also startled when she heard Dainsleib's sudden serious tone. "What, what's wrong!" Her voice trembled slightly due to nervousness, and she really sounded scared.
Hearing Paimon's question, Dainsleb did not answer her, but directly drew out his long sword. The sword flashed with a cold light, reflecting a strange light in the dim light, as if telling of the impending danger. He said in a cold tone, "Enemy attack." These two short words were like the cold wind in winter, making people shudder.
The next moment, five or six pure black humanoid creatures similar to knights suddenly appeared around the few people like ghosts and surrounded them.
These knights exuded a gloomy aura, as if they were evil spirits emerging from the abyss of hell.
Their bodies were covered in a suit of armor, but the armor seemed to be integrated with their bodies. One could only vaguely see their human figures, but could not see their faces clearly.
The darkness seemed to be constantly devouring the surrounding light, causing the surrounding temperature to drop a few degrees, making people shudder.
Seeing this, Lin Feng's eyes flashed with determination. Not wanting to waste a single minute, he launched an attack instantly.
Accompanied by a low roar, terrifying thunder instantly poured out from his hands.
The thunder was like giant silver dragons, rushing towards the knights with the momentum to destroy the world.
There was a crackling sound of electricity in the air, as if Thor was roaring.
All that was heard was a roar, the sound was so deafening that it seemed to tear the entire space apart. The knights were struck by the thunder and fell to the ground one after another.
They roared in pain and struggled under the ravages of thunder, and the abyss erosion in their bodies was constantly dispelled.
Seeing this, Lin Feng did not hesitate at all. A stream of water shot out, piercing through their bodies in an instant and harvesting them. After the roar stopped, the surroundings returned to silence.
As for what kind of power this city exudes, Lin Feng also has some guesses. It is very likely that the first or second generation Dragon King placed a trace of power nurtured by his authority there.
