Chapter 226 Valley of Bones
The cliffs in the valley are made entirely of jade-white material, full of undulations, glittering in the sunlight, and filled with a slightly strange and mysterious vitality.
Byrne Fischer, Viscount Bester, Emerald Elf March, Renzo Rhine, Zain Fussack, and Aldrich Romen.
After the six people left Maple Leaf Manor, they spent several days together and arrived at a strange valley made entirely of white jade.
When they first entered the valley, everyone present, except Viscount Best and Aldrich, widened their eyes. Even March showed a look of shock for the first time.
The red stream running through the valley is crystal clear and flows gently. The white jade benches on the shore are dotted with red water droplets, sparkling like pearls inlaid there.
Deep in the valley, various flowers are blooming. They seem to be carved from white jade, blooming with incomparable beauty and purity.
The entire valley is surrounded by white trees, which extend from the cliffs of the Baiyu Valley, as if guarding this magical place carved into a different landscape, forming an extremely beautiful static picture.
The extremely old Viscount Bester leaned on his cane and said calmly:
"This White Jade Valley is a strange place discovered by my ancestors. It is said that the caves here are connected to a strange world, and outsiders can only enter here through special methods, which are the places I just took you to..."
He paused, then continued, "If you don't know how to get in, you'll never be able to get in."
Although it took several days and he made countless detours, Byrne had memorized the entire process through "deep memory".
Next time, he could come to this valley himself.
Byrne could see that Viscount Best was willing to bring them here because he trusted them all, because even Renzo, who was also a member of the Lion Family, didn't know about this place.
Renzo stared blankly at his surroundings for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask, "I don't even know the existence of this valley? Could it be that only the head of the family knows about it?"
Viscount Bester did not deny it and continued, "Yes, your guess is absolutely correct. It was indeed like this before...but I am willing to tell you now because I hope you can stay here to protect me."
"And after I break through the monarch level, I hope to work with you to explore the secrets hidden in this valley for many years and find the entrance to the other world."
Aldrich Romen, the Dragon Tamer, gently stroked the ring on his finger and said calmly, "So, how did this place come into being?"
Viscount Best replied: "Well, it is said that this is a strange place created by a powerful person of Apocalypse."
Everyone couldn't help but stand in awe and became more cautious about their surroundings.
Apocalypse strong!
Almost every one of those beings called demigods will leave a significant mark in various histories, legends, and even myths!
Byrne had never seen a true Apocalypse expert, and he even vaguely felt that there might not be a single legendary person who had reached Apocalypse in the entire four eastern countries!
But on the continent of Oden, there are indeed powerful apocalypse masters.
For example, in the Seven Stars Empire, there is the Emperor who is hailed as the "God of War" and the "Strongest Knight", there is the Iron-Blooded Marshal known as the "Unforgiving" in the Loen Empire, there is the "Heavenly Saint" of the Southern Territory, and the Pope of the Church of Redemption and the Church of the Sun, they are all well-known powerful apocalypses!
In addition to the several famous legendary masters mentioned above, there must be other apocalypse masters in the continent of Oden, but Byrne is not aware of them.
"Apocalypse..."
Aldridge narrowed his eyes and said calmly:
"That is really a distant level. I wonder when the Siat people will be able to produce a legendary apocalypse. At that time, he may change the situation of the entire four eastern countries."
Renzo finally asked a question. He looked at Aldridge and asked respectfully:
"I've always wondered why the Loen Empire has powerful Apocalypse warriors and even hundreds of powerful monarchs, but it never takes action against small countries like us. Although it colonizes other continents and even develops strange technologies to invade other worlds, it just never takes action against small neighboring countries like us on the continent."
Before Aldridge could answer, Zain took a deep breath and said calmly:
"That is undoubtedly due to the checks and balances of the great gods. Your servants may occasionally kick your cat when no one is around, or even snatch a few pieces of cat food, but will they kill your pet without permission?"
So that's what it is, Renzo suddenly realized the next moment.
Byrne could understand this statement very well. If the continent of Oden was a country estate of the gods, then the legendary apocalypses might be equivalent to the servants of the gods, and ordinary extraordinary people were equivalent to various small animals.
As for the East Coast natives, in theory they are the mice hiding in the gods' houses and the spiders on the webs, and all need to be "cleaned and swept", so it doesn't matter how many of them die.
Renzo nodded, and Viscount Best said, "That's true, but if the owner of the house is away for a long time, things will be hard to say."
There was a certain hint in his words, and everyone present seemed to be thinking about it.
Viscount Best continued, "This valley is actually a maze. It's often foggy and we can easily get separated. So everyone should try not to separate. Remember this!"
"And if we get separated, we will be in danger, because this valley is not the White Jade Valley at all, but... the Valley of Bones!"
After these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Bones?
They began to re-examine the white jades in their field of vision and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Could it be that those beautiful white jades were actually the bones of the dead?
After a while, when Byrne and Best were alone together, they finally started talking about something.
"Viscount Best, I really want to tell you something."
His tone was very solemn, as if he was about to explain something very important.
Best was slightly startled, looked at Byrne, who was no longer young, and asked calmly:
"Well, what do you want to say?"
Byrne nodded slowly and continued, "That's right, I have found the backup plan left by the Eagle Family!"
"What?"
Viscount Best's eyes were slightly shaken. He had always been wary of that man. Although "Black Hawk" Xavier was not a ruthless person, this guy was indeed very smart.
Byrne continued calmly:
"I don't know how they managed to steal the barrier spell and have the ability to temporarily close the national barrier. Perhaps they want to wait until the critical moment to attract foreign forces to help them..."
He took a deep breath, the murderous intent in his eyes gradually rose, and his voice became colder.
"Chris found out all this. He found a diary belonging to Xavier in a secret safe house. It records a lot of things. Even the fact that the Meyer family crossed the barrier and invaded Nasir Town and killed my father was indirectly caused by them!"
"What did you say?" Best was stunned.
Byrne nodded and said with certainty: "Yes, the Eagle Family had a deal with the Meyer Family. In order to obtain a forbidden item, they agreed to let them in to plunder the East Coast!"
Best closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time, finally digesting all the news.
"It turned out to be like this. I really couldn't have imagined it... Sorry, Byrne, I didn't know anything about this at the time. The spell of the barrier might have been leaked from the Lion Family."
Viscount Best paused for a moment and continued:
"The spell of the Great Enchantment originally belonged to Count Hoven. We had a very good relationship at that time. Count Hoven was willing to give the spell to me for safekeeping. Unfortunately, time has passed and we ended up becoming enemies."
"Perhaps it was a spell that was leaked from Count Hoven earlier."
Byrne shook his head and said calmly:
"Well, that is very likely the case. However, it does not matter where the spell was leaked from. Since Black Hawk 'Xavier' himself is dead and the Eagle Family is under your control, this matter is over."
Best's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said very seriously: "Byrne, if you want, I can let you kill the rest of the Eagle Family!"
Byrne was silent for a while, then he shook his head calmly and said, "That's unnecessary. Since the main members of the Eagle Family are dead, I'm too lazy to kill all the remaining people."
Viscount Best nodded slightly and said, "Well, it fits your personality."
Byrne paused and continued, "However, I will never let the Meyer family, the direct murderer, go!"
Viscount Best couldn't help but sigh and said, "But the Meyer family is very powerful. Even the combined strength of our two families is no match for them. Moreover, if they win the war and become the new king of Rhea, even the Roman family will be unable to do anything to them."
Byrne seemed to agree with the old man's statement, but his eyes were always flickering with a changing light, and he clenched his fingers as if he was thinking about something special.
"Yes, we still need to become stronger. Maybe I won't be able to destroy the Meyer family in my generation, but there will be a generation that will be able to do it."
They continued to communicate a lot, and over the years, the relationship between the two people became deeper and deeper, almost indestructible.
Finally, Viscount Best began to prepare for a breakthrough in a cave in the Valley of Bones.
He stared out of the cave for a long time.
"Byrne, you'd better pray that I succeed, hehe..."
"If I fail, you can use the rest of your life to save me. That's what you should have done all along."
"If you don't want to do it..."
"Let's all die here!"
At this moment, the malice in Best's eyes was finally revealed, and many demon shadows were swaying around him. He had already become a real demon.
The old man seemed to have lost his perception of the outside world as if in hibernation, and he would waste his mental and life strength again and again, constantly trying to push open the door of the palace that was contained in his blood.
As long as one can successfully sit on the throne in the palace, the palace can be made to appear in the real world and become a symbol of the bloodline domain of the powerful monarch.
He fell into a special state of sleep in the cave, and this process would last for a period of time, but the specific time was completely uncertain, but the stronger the person, the faster he would push open the door.
It is said that there are even geniuses in history who succeeded in breaking through the door in just one day!
But there are more losers who try hard for a long time but fail to succeed and finally die, such as Count Hoven, who is such a tragic figure.
"here we go."
Aldridge spoke quietly. As the strongest and most senior of the five helpers, he naturally became the leader of the five.
"For the next period of time, the five of us will guard various places in the valley. We must greet each other every day. If we find any suspicious people or objects, we will notify others immediately!"
Byrne nodded slowly, staring at the place where Viscount Best was sleeping, with confusion, hesitation, and contradiction all surging in his eyes.
