For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King

   Chapter 276 Silence

   The construction of three star lighthouses was the only condition that the Empire proposed to Ravenwood after the conquest of Terra that year, and it was the only condition without any room for negotiation.

   "Of course, you can also refuse, but then we will build a lighthouse on the embers of your corpses. So please don't take our reminder as a threat... This is never a threat, but a declaration."

   The speaker of the first generation of the Star Council, the great sage Ye Zhi, declared this to the ruler of the forest elves back then.

Chopping down trees, setting up barriers to shield strong vitality, using traditional wooden materials to build skeletons, and burning forest enclosures... When building these three star lighthouses, the empire trampled almost every sacred tradition of the forest elves, and even built it at that time. The laborers of the lighthouse are all prisoners of war from the forest elves.

   Therefore, for many years thereafter, the forest elves used the three star beacons as symbols of shame for being conquered by the Empire. Even now, more than 800 years later, even if the magic initiation ceremony of the star lighthouse is also open to the forest elves, few forest elves will choose to become magic singers.

   "However, in the world on my side, you are such an outlier. Even though you are the lucky one who can communicate with the power of the World Tree, you still choose to study the universal magic of humans."

   After jumping off the Horror Bird, Ebony said to Flaro, who was beside him.

   The Flaro Kane on this side is also such a person, which really makes people want to feel something.

   However, Flaro did not reply. She raised her head and looked at the huge lighthouse at the top that was completely dark.

  The Healer Star Lighthouse is shaped like a winged scepter coiled around a snake, slender and elegant in shape.

   On weekdays, its top will glow green and silver. For the magic casters, this beacon allows them to sense such a node that communicates with the constellation of astral healers through the etheric domain from a very distant location.

   People whose numerology constellation is the Healer can communicate and resonate with the astral world, and continuously guide the creation from the astral world to the present world.

   However, at this moment, whether it was from the top of the lighthouse, or from the induction of his own etheric domain, Flaro could not observe the slightest light.

   "There is a serious problem there."

   After several unsuccessful attempts at induction, Flaro made a preliminary judgment.

   "But it has nothing to do with us?"

   The ebony voice behind her made Flaro turn her head. Her calm eyes made the other party's expression panic, and the tall beast spirit hunter immediately continued:

   "Even if something goes wrong with the lighthouse, we can just go east along the Green Gold Avenue, which is only a few kilometers away from the Cuiyu Province boundary marker. Like you said before... the end of the world."

   Flallo sighed slightly, then shook his head and said:

   "Although you're right...but don't you think this is a bit of a coincidence?"

   She continued to look at the lighthouse.

  In the hundreds of years since the establishment of the law of the stars, it can be said that the lighthouse suddenly goes out. Except for those who were actively extinguished by the Star Council because of the local rebellion, in order to cut off the magic enlightenment and promotion of the local regime. Generally, only the kind of large-scale disasters that are rare in a hundred years will occasionally cause similar things to happen.

   And right now, they were just heading to the border of Ravenwood along the Green Gold Avenue, intending to investigate there, and the star lighthouse on the last node went out without warning. Moreover, at the moment near the Healer Star Lighthouse, everything is silent, and it doesn't look like a tragic disaster will happen at all.

  Wait...all silence?

  Thinking of this, Flaro turned his head sharply to look at Ebony, who was looking at him with the same expression at the moment.

   "It's too quiet around here."

  Ebony arched his back slightly as he spoke, the beast tattoos on his body swam, and a translucent long-horned beast head appeared on his head, looking like a deer or a lion. The beast's ears trembled slightly, as if it wanted to absorb all the sounds around it into the eardrum.

   "There is no sound at all, insects chirping, birds chirping, the sound of beasts stomping on branches... In the direction of the lighthouse, there is really no sound at all. It's dead silence, no, it's quieter than dead silence."

  Ebony said in a low voice.

"I remember that the tower guard in the Healer's Seat is about to be promoted to a legend, and he has an elite response force that is not weak. No matter what happens, it is impossible that no sound can be heard. "

   Flaro heard the words and said in a low voice.

   Not only is there no sound from living beings, but there is not even the rustling of leaves shaking in the wind.

   "Then what do you do next? You're not going to investigate that lighthouse, are you?"

  Ebony asked worriedly.

   Judging from his experience as a hunter, it really doesn’t seem like a wise move to step into the star lighthouse with such a strange atmosphere to investigate.

   As for Ebony's question, Flaro's face showed a larger expression for the first time - if you want to describe it, it is similar to "Are you crazy" astonishment.

   "Why do you have this idea? An unknown existence that can silently extinguish the star lighthouse and silence the elite mage troops who stay at the star lighthouse... You should go around anyway, right?"

Ebony, who was inexplicably regarded by the other party as a reckless man, froze in place for a few seconds, and then opened his mouth, intending to ask in return, who just suddenly said, "Look at what happened near that lighthouse, I still A little worried." This sentence?

   However, as his lips closed, his vocal cords vibrated, but he couldn't make a single sound.

   Not only did he fail to make a sound when he spoke, but almost instantly, his breathing, heartbeat, even his footsteps while walking, the friction of his clothes, all lost all sound.

   He felt that the surroundings were completely silent, and even the slightest sound disappeared without a trace.

   That is a quieter silence than silence.

  Dead silence…

  Ebony remembers that when he was playing hide-and-seek with his playmates as a child, he would close his eyes and cover his ears and wait for the playmates to hide. But even if the ear is completely blocked, it is still possible to hear a humming-like tinnitus.

   But at this moment, even the tinnitus due to auditory hallucinations disappeared.

  “”

  Ebony's mouth kept closing, desperately trying to say something to Flaro, who was walking in front of him, but after a long time of futile efforts, only a dead silence came out in the end.

   He couldn't make a sound at all.

   The staggered footsteps are like stepping in the void, without the slightest sound. Ebony rushed forward a few steps in a very awkward manner and patted Flaro on the shoulder.

   Immediately, he looked at the hand he patted on the other's shoulder and felt a strange touch.

   In fact, the touch is not weird, just because he couldn't hear any sound, so he subconsciously felt that when he patted the other person's shoulder, it should be on a thin and soft mass. It shouldn't be a mummy-like, dry and hard touch right now.

   But even if she patted the other person's shoulder, Flaro still didn't look back. She raised her neck and looked at the lights-out star beacon without even looking away - which made Ebony look at it in the same way.

   Then, in the eyes of the two of them, the magnificent and elegant lighthouse collapsed in the next instant, as if the building block tower with its key foundation was taken out.

   Against the background of the morbid bright moon like a stillbirth, a woman wrapped in a black veil made of thick smoke was floating alone in the air, staring at them silently at this moment.

   will die...

The beast spirits    engraved on their bodies immediately came to this simple conclusion when they sensed that unknown existence.

  The woman had no mouth on her face, but the moment she saw her, Ebony felt that her soul wanted to let out a terrifying scream.
