Book of Gods and Demons

As Joe ran on the wall of his bedroom, Hyderabad, Imperial Capital of the Durham Empire.

The Lanyin River originated from the northern ridges of the Lanyin Corridor. At first it was less than half a mile wide, and after absorbing dozens of tributaries all the way, it has become a huge river of several dozen li wide in the heart of the empire.

In the Empire Central Region, on the vast plains, there was a sudden depression.

The vast Lanyin River plunged into this area with a dozen province-sized depressions, forming the largest swamp area at the core of the Durham Empire.

Hyderabad, just west of the Everglades, on the north bank of the Lanin River.

This is a large plain with abundant soil and water. After the meticulous construction of generations of Emperor Derren, the buildings are arranged in an orderly manner on the large plain, set off by the mist floating in the swamp. The weather in Hyderabad is quite majestic.

With the earliest built Hyderabad Castle, also known as the Hyderabad Palace complex as its core, to the west of Hyderabad, surrounded by rivers and surrounded by greenery, is the Imperial Capital University City of the Durham Empire area.

Outside the back door of Imperial Capital First University of the Durham Empire, the famous food street is bustling and lively. It is the most leisure time of the day. Because of the high subsidies of the empire, college students who are not short of money in their pockets are squandering their energy on the food street.

In the middle section of Chishi Street, the best part of the whole Chishi Street, in the old grandmothers tavern, which covers an area of half an acre, a traditional drama is being staged.

In a brightly lit pub, a group of students from the physics department of Imperial Capital First University are fighting with a group of students from the music department of Imperial Capital Fourth University next door.

“You shameful group of pretty boys!” The physics student yelled like this.

“You bunch of useless nerds!” The students of the music department were so retorted.

Wine glasses are flying in the air, drinks are sprayed overhead, countless people in the tavern are cheering and roaring, a group of students from the Second University Gold Element, and a group of students from the third universitys epidemic prevention department stand on the wine table , Applauded and stomped frantically, cheering for the bunch of guys.

At the entrance of the pub, there are already two patrolmen in black uniforms standing.

They stood at the door and moved towards the inside of the door, stick one’s head around to look for, and snickered’he he he’.

The Empire treats this group of talents with high IQ very preferentially. These guys are drinking, fighting, and making trouble. But as long as it doesn’t cause trouble, as long as it doesn’t kill people, it’s up to them!

Young people, should be so passionate!

A hair grey-white, kind-hearted old lady wearing a coarse cloth dress, holding a ledger in her left hand, and a fountain pen in her right hand, standing behind the carnival students, whispering Recorded.

“One tinplate wine glass…two…three…”

“One table leg…two…three…”

“Oh, one dinner plate…two…three…”

“Damn…you be careful…” The old lady suddenly yelled, “Look at what you do!”

A seat flew out of the crowd and smashed on a barrel of wine against the wall of the pub. A wooden barrel full of fresh beer was smashed, and a large amount of dark brown beer was mixed. The white foam sprayed out and spread all over the room.

The old lady shook her head and raised high hands: “Well, Little Brat, you have to forget this account!”

The one standing in front of the old lady The famous and lively student turned his head and moved towards the old lady and squeezed her eyes: “Don’t worry, grandmother, they have enough money to compensate for the subsidy just issued yesterday!”

The old lady rolled the eyes,’hoho ‘smiled a few times: “Okay, then, go ahead…”

An unremarkable black uniform, a black small round hat on his head, looks good An ordinary middle-aged man emerged from the crowd and murmured a few words in the ear of the old lady.

The old lady’s smile froze, and fiercely rolled the eyes again.

Soon, the old lady stuffed the account book and pen in her hand to a tavern waitress behind her, she passed through the chaotic crowd, walked into the tavern counter, and entered behind the counter. Kitchen.

A four-wheeled carriage with an ordinary appearance quickly drove out of the food street.

Four wheels of carriage through the campus of Imperial Capital First University, through the luxurious residential area on the east side of the campus specially built for the professors of the first university, through a small piece of wood, and through two stone bridges After that, he drove directly into Hydra Palace.

Passing through the heavily guarded palace gates of the 3rd-layer, around a dozen tall and magnificent palaces, the four-wheeled carriage finally stopped at a building all around planted with gray thorns, the whole body made of granite. In front of the unremarkable simple palace.

hair grey-white, the old lady wearing a coarse sarong walked down from the carriage with her face drooping, and the air all around suddenly became messy, one after another invisible wind dancing wildly in the sky , The large tracts of gray thorns in full bloom shook with the wind suddenly, setting off waves like waves.

The old lady’s hair changed rapidly from flowery white to a dark iron-like gray. The originally light green eyes also turned into a deep iron-grey in an instant.

She heard a crisp sound of’ka ka’ within the body. The old lady who was about five feet ten inches high and had a rickety waist suddenly became one with a straight waist and a height of nearly six feet six inches. Tall woman.

Her wrinkled face has also become tender and plump, completely turning into a beautiful woman 30 years old.

It’s just different from the beautiful and alluring flowers of the Duke of Rose. The beautiful face of this’old lady’ has sharp lines, and even carries a heart-palpitating fierce and hideous atmosphere.

I impatiently patted a large length of the coarse cloth skirt short by hand, the’old lady’ walked into the palace in front of her with her head high and her chest high.

In the palace, in the spacious and long corridor, a. The palace Knight dressed in traditional Knight costume saw the’old lady’, one-knee kneels, bowed his head deeply, and clenched his right hand forcefully. , Put it on my heart.

The’old lady’ held her head up and walked quickly with a gust of wind.

Where she passed, the bright gas lights in the corridor suddenly dimmed, and one after another twisted black shadow appeared on the wall inexplicably. There was a strange sound of’si si’ in the air, and the court Knights who were kneeling and saluting along the way were trembling all over by the invisible pressure of in the sky, with cold sweat constantly oozing out on their foreheads.

The’old lady’ walked to the end of the corridor, and the two court Knights standing in front of the door, wearing full armor on them, turned around, pushed the door behind them hard, and shouted in unison at the same time: ” The Queen Your Majesty is here!”

‘Old lady’, the current queen of the Durham Empire, Margaret III, waved her hand impatiently, and stood at the door shouting: “Your Honorable Princes, Your Excellency , As well as capable and shrewd ministers, brave and combative generals, is there anything that you cant solve, but you have to trouble this old woman?”

“Aha, is it possible? Didnt I make it clear? Unless Lucias gray herds invade again, or the empire loses more than five provinces at once, dont bother me! Dont bother me!”

Mag Lite III sullied her face and squinted. Behind her, there was a large area of darkness tumbling like a tide, and the powerful pressure swept in waves like a tsunami.

Behind the gate, the air in the huge hall was surging crazily, the gust of wind blew the curtains and the curtains on the walls, the tables and chairs’ka ka ka’ were shaking, the legs of the table and the legs of the chair Hit the ground with a dull sound.

A dozen men standing in the hall bowed to Marguerite.

An old man who is thin, tall and tall like a bean sprouts, took a step forward with difficulty: “Your Majesty, maybe things are more serious than the five provinces we lost. Much more.”

With a scream, the black fog behind Margaret III disappeared, and all the natural phenomenon in the hall disappeared.

She patted her hands, expressionlessly, passing in front of a group of empire officials in the hall, and went straight to a lounge behind the curtain.

In just a few minutes, Marguerite III, who put on a blood-colored dress and a long sword on her waist, walked out again. She put her hands on her chest and squinted. Staring at the dozen confidantes in front of him.

“What happened?” Margaret III’s voice was abnormally cold and severe: “War? Plague? Or other natural disasters?”

“Is it really The gray animals of Lucia have forgotten the lessons of ten years ago. Do they want to go to war with us again?”

“Or, the seals of Saint Xia suddenly became bolder, and they did not The port of Tulum has landed, do you want to fight us to the death on land?”

The skinny old man gave a dry cough: “No, Your Majesty, maybe its more troublesome. Here, there is a picture about it. Please review the investigation report of the Lungang Zhongqiu murder and some subsequent analysis of the situation.”

A court clerk came to Margaret III stiffly carrying a briefcase. By his side, cautiously took out several documents and handed them to Margaret III.

“Zhongqiu murder?” Margaret III raised his eyebrows: “The Zhongqiu murder in Tulum Harbor? Ah, my dear, do you have a letter from my little Rose?”

< p>Margaret turned around and greeted the large curtain behind her.

A tall man with a tall body, nearly seven feet tall and a 40-year-old appearance, wearing a set of generals’ uniform, with a straight waist and an unusually powerful man strode out from behind the curtain.

“The Duke of Ross sent you a secret letter, and I used your name to reply to her.” tall and sturdy man, the royal husband of Margaret III, owned by the Prince of the Empire Mata XIII walked to Margaret III, with his hands behind his back, and slowly said: “When I replied, the murder of Zhong Qiu was still under control.”

Shaking his head, Mata XIII moved towards the dozen or so empire’s top great characters in the hall, took a look, coldly said: “But then things became completely out of control…Some people are too courageous!”

Only then did Margaret III accept the file in the hands of the clerk.

She gently patted the document in her hand, coldly said: “Then, let me see what happened.”
