Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 342 The Regent!
Viscount Weiss's territory.

Viscount's Mansion.

In a remote weapons depot.

A door appeared silently in the wall.

The door suddenly appeared and immediately began to adjust itself, quickly becoming exactly the same as the warehouse door.

This gives the illusion that there is an extra room in the warehouse.

The door opens.

Shen Ye jumped out.

As soon as he came in, he saw the golden spear.

The spears were quietly placed on the weapon rack, which had been wiped clean and decorated with some gorgeous ribbons embroidered with noble emblems.

It looks like this weapon rack will come in handy soon.

"Shen Ye, you still have this thing."

The big skeleton gave a reminder.

Shen Ye looked into the Dharma image and saw a small metal emblem on the ground.

A faint glow emanated from the emblem, condensing into the following words:

"The emblem of Viscount Weiss's personal guard."

"Identification item."

"Description: With this badge, you can enter and exit the Viscount's Mansion at will."

"——Recently, Viscount Weiss has brought in many strangers, and they have obtained various official positions personally conferred by His Excellency the Viscount."

Shen Ye looked at the emblem and suddenly came to his senses.

Joseph died, died in his own image, his death was as light as a feather.

But he has the mark of the real person "Wei" on him!
When you die, your equipment will be dropped!
This badge is what he left behind.

Come to think of it, his companion was killed by Yudriya and exploded in the air, so he should have dropped something.

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to pick it up at that time.

Forget it.

Shen Ye took out the badge and pinned it on his chest, then he grabbed a leather military cap from the warehouse and put it on his head to cover his face.

He walked forward and gently stroked the golden spear.

The spear is a purple-level weapon, very good, but unfortunately I don’t have any skills with long-handled weapons.

Shen Ye's hand trembled and he pulled out another golden spear.

What is very interesting is that -

Even after returning to this moment in the past, the golden spear he had seized did not disappear.

——So now there are two spears.

One is the golden spear that is currently being given to Joseph at the weapons-giving ceremony.

The other is a golden spear that was stolen by the "Good Brothers" doll at that moment in the future.

Do you want……

Merge them?
Shen Ye's hands felt a little itchy, but he quickly stopped the thought.

I will fuse this spear to make it stronger, and then let Joseph take it and hunt me down in the future.

Isn't this a brain bubble?
Forget it.

He took back the spear of the future, put the spear of the present away, then tiptoed to the door of the warehouse and looked out through the window.

Several soldiers holding weapons trotted past the warehouse.

——These are the patrols.

Across the lawn.

A melodious music sounded from the castle not far away.

Carriages stopped in front of the castle.

A little while longer.

Those people should come to the armory to move weapons.

Go now while there is no one around.

Shen Ye pushed the door open and went out, walking quickly along the road. At a corner, he suddenly met several patrolling soldiers.

"Password!"

Several soldiers shouted.

Shen Ye saw the opportunity very quickly, pointed at the emblem on his chest, and said viciously:
"You ask me? I'm asking you!"

When the soldiers saw his emblem, they backed away for a moment.

The leading soldier said with a stiff upper lip:
"No, sir, everyone must say the password, please don't make it difficult for us."

"Eat grapes without spitting out the skins." Shen Ye said.

Several soldiers were stunned.

"Isn't it this? Or has the password been changed?" Shen Ye asked.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, he smiled, took the badge off his chest, threw it to the other party, and said:
"After I came down from the battlefield, I had sequelae in my brain and tended to forget things. My comrades around me all knew about it."

The soldiers took the badge, examined it carefully, and nodded.

The emblem is real.

The leading soldier handed the badge back, quietly placed his hand on the knife at his waist, and said with a smile:
"Sir, your identity is beyond doubt, but according to the rules, if the password does not match, we must call the senior guards to come."

"Of course! Just call someone, I'll wait here." Shen Ye said leisurely.

He looked very natural and didn't look like he was going to run away at all.

This attitude makes people feel more at ease.

The leading soldier pointed out a man and ordered him to report the situation immediately, while he stayed to talk to Shen Ye.

"Sir, if you can tell us the names and occupations of one or two of your comrades, we can basically lift our alert." The soldier tried again.

Shen Ye leaned against the wall and said in a lazy tone:

"Joseph is my brother. He is a warrior of the Angry Sand. He is tall and big. He talks a lot when fighting. He likes to use spears. Every time he throws a spear, he can kill the enemy general."

"Yes! That's right!"

The leading soldier breathed a sigh of relief and removed his hand from the hilt.

Shen Ye suddenly asked: "What are we doing here?"

The soldier leader was stunned.

"I'm obviously going to the banquet, why am I talking to you here?" Shen Ye scratched his head in confusion.

"Sir, have you forgotten? You need the password to pass." The soldier leader couldn't help but say.

"The password is to eat grapes without spitting out the skins." Shen Ye said firmly.

At this time, a group of people came from a distance.

——The soldier who was sent came here with the entire escort team.

The soldiers surrounding Shen Ye immediately felt relieved.

Looking at Shen Ye again, he still looked confused.

"Is the password wrong?"

Shen Ye asked.

One soldier couldn't help but said, "Sir, the password is 'The moonlight is so beautiful tonight', please remember it."

The leader of the soldiers turned around and glared at the soldier, but didn't say much.

After all, the guards are here.

Besides, this gentleman looked so relaxed, his expression didn't seem fake, and he was wearing a genuine high-end military cap in the territory's standard.

And he can tell so many details about Joseph.

He should be Joseph's comrade-in-arms.

——These people are extremely powerful professionals with mysterious origins.

Among them there are quite a few guys with strange tempers and personalities.

Can't offend at all.

And the emblem is real too.

So his subordinates said these things to ease the atmosphere and please this lord, so as to prevent him from taking his anger out on these soldiers.

According to the rules, this practice is wrong.

But in reality, as a low-level soldier, this is a necessary way of survival when facing a strong opponent.

The soldier leader glanced at the road not far away.

The guards have arrived and are surrounding the place.

No matter what the situation is -

In short.

This matter has nothing to do with us.

"That boy, put down your weapon immediately. I need to confirm your identity now."

A senior professional said in a cold voice.

Shen Ye was leaning against the wall, originally grinning foolishly, but upon hearing these words, he immediately sank into the wall.

A door!

A door appeared in the wall!
Amidst a burst of noisy scolding, he passed through the dimensional gate and disappeared from this moment!
Viscount Weiss's territory.

Viscount's Mansion.

In a remote weapons depot.

The door appeared silently in the wall.

This door is exactly the same as the warehouse's main door, giving people the illusion that there is an extra room in the warehouse.

The door opens.

Shen Ye jumped out.

——He has returned to this moment!
"Really? The password is 'The moonlight is so beautiful tonight'?"

Shen Ye muttered to himself and glanced at the golden spear.

The spear still lay quietly on the weapon rack.

outside the window.

A patrol was crossing the lawn and turning towards the road.

Shen Ye adjusted the military cap on his head and pinned the badge on the most conspicuous place on his chest.

Again!
He pushed the door open and strode out.

After walking only a few hundred meters, they ran into the team of soldiers.

"Password!"

The leading soldier shouted.

"The moonlight tonight is so--ugly." Shen Ye said as he burst into laughter.

The soldier was about to scold him when he saw the badge on his chest.

"Sir, please be serious. This is our duty."

The leader of the squad of soldiers said.

Shen Ye's smile faded, a murderous look appeared on his face, and he shouted:
"Why should I cooperate with you?"

"Sir!" The soldiers in the squad turned pale and retreated.

——The other party has that kind of emblem, and it is obvious that he is the top powerhouse in the Viscount’s Mansion.

And based on the password he said, it can be inferred that he knows the correct password!
But he was unwilling to cooperate!

"Huh? Why should I cooperate with you?" Shen Ye asked again.

"Sir, there are envoys from various tribes present today, and Lord Joseph will also complete the ceremony in public. Please cooperate with us to avoid ruining tonight's event."

The soldier said tremblingly.

Shen Ye listened carefully, and suddenly smiled:
"The moonlight is beautiful tonight."

"Thank you, sir!" The soldier felt relieved.

He and his men passed by Shen Ye and left as if escaping.

What happened here was naturally seen by several other patrol teams.

but.

The moment Shen Ye gave the command, the rest of the patrol team immediately dispersed.

——Surrounding a tough and powerful person, do you think you don’t have enough troubles?

Shen Ye walked towards the castle with a swagger.

along the way.

The other patrols carefully avoided him.

This gave Shen Ye more time to observe the carriages parked in front of the castle.

His eyes suddenly flashed, and he lowered his voice and said:

"Big Skeleton, come and take a look, is that the carriage of the Undead?"

A moment.

The voice of the big skeleton sounded: "Although I have tried various ways to cover it up, the fluctuation of the soul fire is unmistakable. It seems that I must take action."

"You?" Shen Ye asked in surprise.

"Yes, my mother should still be ruling the entire Undead Empire. Then, as the prince who inherited the Book of the Dead, I can naturally command all the undead!" said the big skeleton proudly.

"...What are you going to do?" Shen Ye asked.

"You walk to the carriage of the dead, and then I will come out from the Dharma image and identify myself to the people on the carriage. Then you can accept their kneeling worship with me." said the big skeleton.

bow down?

Was Fei Lun so noble in the past?
Ok……

Shen Ye walked to the front of the carriage, stood still, and released the big skeleton.

A voice suddenly sounded in the carriage:
"It's you?"

The voice was both surprising and joyful, like meeting an old friend whom one had not seen for a long time.

The big skeleton straightened his chest, raised his chin, and said in a deep voice:
"Yes, it's me."

The words have not yet fallen.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing the passengers inside.

Ms. Daisy!

It turned out to be Ms. Daisy!
She didn't even look at the big skeleton, but waved at Shen Ye and whispered:
"Come up quickly."

Shen Ye was startled.

The big skeleton was also stunned. "Do you know me?" Shen Ye couldn't help asking.

——I am in human form now.

Daisy smiled at him and looked at the skeleton beside him:
"Of course, there is also this——"

"Yes, it's me." The big skeleton said in a deep voice.

"You must be his guard," Ms. Daisy nodded to it. "Please stay outside and pay attention to your surroundings. I want to talk to him."

The carriage door opens.

Ms. Daisy reached out and pulled Shen Ye up, then closed the car door tightly.

Only the big skeleton was left standing in front of the carriage.

A gust of wind blew.

The big skeleton stood in the wind, silent, and even looked a little desolate.

In the carriage.

Shen Ye sat opposite Ms. Daisy, ready to unfold his Dharma image at any time.

"Ma'am, how do you know me?"

he asks.

"Baxter, I knew it was you at first glance!" Daisy replied with a smile.

"...Why?" Shen Ye asked.

I am a human now, how does Daisy know that I am a vampire Baxter?

"You are going to the human world to collect folk songs and find suitable song inspiration. Before you left, you showed us your human appearance, didn't you?"

Daisy said matter-of-factly.

Suddenly, a new memory appeared in Shen Ye's mind.

It was the exact scene when he said goodbye to Daisy and the others.

Small words appeared in the dim light:

“A history of change, just to preserve Baxter’s footprints and identity in the world of the dead—from Chatelet.”

It's Chatelet.

Having won the battle of character, she will not make the same mistakes again.

So, she should not be imprisoned.

The prison world of "five desires" could not trap her.

The "five desires" will not invade the nightmare world.

She calmly changed the past of the nightmare world, but did not want "Baxter" to disappear from this history.

Now, in everyone’s memory—

Baxter is a diva, a warrior, and a powerful professional.

He once assisted the underworld lord Miktetika Shiva in creating many great undertakings, and later retired after achieving success to concentrate on his own artistic creation.

This is the story Chatelet arranged.

Baxter went to the human territory to find new song inspiration!
"Baxter, why are you here? Did Viscount Weiss invite you to sing in his mansion?"

Daisy asked.

"No - actually I sneaked in. I don't have an invitation, I just wanted to feel the atmosphere of a human banquet." Shen Ye said.

"Do you know what's happened recently?" Daisy asked.

"I know nothing." Shen Ye said.

"Oh my God, what a sincere child, entering the human territory for art, but completely unaware of what is happening in the world!" Daisy sighed softly.

"What happened?" Shen Ye asked.

"The war is coming - now to ensure your safety, you stay with me, but you have to return to your vampire form." Daisy said.

"...My companion can also listen to these things. He is quite powerful and has a noble status." Shen Ye said.

"Okay, let it in," said Daisy.

Shen Ye opened the carriage door, jumped down, closed the door, and after a while, he opened the door again and got on the carriage.

At this time, he turned back into the appearance of the vampire Baxter, and the big skeleton was also brought into the carriage by him.

"Ma'am, why are you here?"

Shen Ye asked.

"Viscount Weiss has decided to unite us undead and orcs to rebel against the human royal family. I have come here with the undead delegation to bear witness and congratulate him, and I will sing a song later." Ms. Daisy said.

"Is the Lord of the Underworld really going to start a war against humanity?" asked the Big Skeleton.

"No... the Lord of the Underworld is missing, and along with him, the gods of several other tribes are also missing," said Ms. Daisy.

Shen Ye was slightly startled.

The big skeleton asked anxiously, "Did the Lord of the Underworld leave any words?"

"He did say something about the succession to the imperial throne," said Ms. Daisy.

"We actually know this." said the big skeleton.

"But I see Baxter knows nothing about it, so I'll tell you about it," said Ms. Daisy.

"Please." The big skeleton crossed his arms, looking a little reserved.

Ms. Daisy straightened her back, looked solemn, and spoke slowly:

"A month ago, the Lord of the Underworld, Mictetikashiva, sent down an oracle, asking us to do our best to find that man, bring him back to the Undead Empire, and make him the new regent."

"Baxter."

"This is you."

The big skeleton jumped up from his seat and hit his head against the roof of the car with a loud bang.

Shen Ye frowned.

"he!"

"I?"

they both asked in unison.

"Yes, His Majesty Mictetikashiva said that if there is one person who can lead the Undead Empire to move forward, it must be you, Baxter." Daisy said.

——It seems that the memory of the underworld lord Mictetika Shiva may not have been modified?
Did Chatelet reserve this help specifically for himself?

"Did the Lord of the Underworld say who will be the next king of the empire?" asked the big skeleton.

"By Baxter," said Daisy.

The big skeleton was stunned.

It opened its mouth, as if it wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a long time, it couldn't say anything.

Shen Ye had calmed down and asked:

"Besides the oracle, did the Lord of the Underworld leave anything else behind?"

"There is nothing else but the oracle," said Ms. Daisy. "This is the oracle distributed to various institutions at the time. It contains the breath of the Lord of the Underworld to prove that the whole thing is true and correct."

She took out a pale bone fragment and showed it to Shen Ye.

There was indeed a hint of special scent on the bone fragments.

"Can you show it to me?"

Shen Ye asked.

"Of course!" Ms. Daisy handed over the bone fragment.

Shen Ye took the bone fragment, looked it over, and whispered:
"Ms. Daisy, please wait for me for a moment."

He just stretched out his hand and pressed it on the inner wall of the car.

"Door."

Following his low shout, a door suddenly appeared on the inner wall of the carriage.

Shen Ye patted the big skeleton, put it away, and walked into the door.

The door disappeared.

……

a month ago.

Dark Soul Empire.

Evernight City.

royal palace.

Countless pieces of bone floated in the air, each of which was engraved with dense undead characters.

The Lord of the Underworld, Mictetika Shiva, sat high on the throne and waved his hand casually, injecting his breath into the bone fragments.

suddenly.

A door appeared on the side wall of the hall.

The shape of this door is exactly the same as the main entrance of the hall, and it looks like a replica of the main entrance.

The door opened with a bang.

Shen Ye walked out.

"Your Majesty, why do you entrust the Undead Empire to me?"

he asked directly.

The big skeleton also appeared directly from the void, strode forward, knelt under the throne, and said in a trembling voice:
"Mother! It has been too long since I last served you, and it has also been too long since I last listened to your teachings!"

Even though the Lord of the Underworld, Mictetikashiva, had seen countless storms, he was still stunned for a while at this moment.

"How did you guys get here?"

she asked.

"I can open doors in time and space, and as soon as I found out about this, I came directly here."

Shen Ye threw the bone fragment over.

Mictetikashiva took the bone fragment, looked at it carefully, and said thoughtfully:
"Baxter, I've thought about it and decided that at this critical moment, I can only entrust the empire to you."

"What exactly happened?" Shen Ye asked.

"A horrible parasitic monster has descended upon the City of Eternal Night, and I find myself no match for it." said the Lord of the Underworld, Mictetika Shiva.

As she spoke, she waved her hand.

The bone fragments floating in the air suddenly flew out of the hall and flew towards all directions of Eternal Night City.

"It wants to deal with you?" Shen Ye asked.

"Yes, I estimate that it will be here soon. I will fight to the death and at least make it seriously injured to buy time for you." said Mictetika Shiva, the Lord of the Underworld.

Shen Ye walked forward and stretched out his hand towards the big skeleton.

"what?"

the big skeleton asked.

"Give me one of your finger bones." Shen Ye said.

"?" The big skeleton didn't understand what he meant.

"Hurry, I feel an evil aura approaching, show me the bones immediately!" Shen Ye said quickly.

"Give!"

The big skeleton endured the pain and tore off a piece of his finger bone and handed it to Shen Ye.

"Ma'am, let's back off so that that monster doesn't hurt you."

Shen Ye said.

"What will happen to the Empire if I leave?"

"The empire exists only when you are here. Now we have to preserve our manpower."

"It seems you already have a plan, okay then!"

Mictetikashiva, Lord of the Underworld, nodded in agreement.

Shen Ye immediately opened a door and quickly said to the big skeleton:
"Take your mother in and take shelter first."

The big skeleton also knew that the situation had become very dangerous, so he jumped up immediately, pushed the door open, and turned around and said:

"Mother, please!"

"Let's go." Mictetikashiva, Lord of the Underworld, said briefly.

The two entered the door.

Shen Ye stayed where he was.

Two lines of small, dim words appeared before his eyes:

"You will use the 'Finger Bones' to activate the dimensional gate, pointing to the following time and space:"

"Location: Evening Star, Time: When this satellite reaches the sky above the Abyss Zone of the End Star."

That's right.

The Big Skeleton had arrived at that moment before!

It was also at that moment that he threw the cocoon of flesh and blood in the Dharma image into the abyss.

Rumble.

The door slowly opened.

Moment.

Another person appeared in the hall.

"Hehehe, little brat, have you seen your Hades?"

The man asked with a nonchalant smile.

Shen Ye didn't answer, but just pushed the door open.

The moment he entered the door, he opened another dimensional door in it.

Double doors.

At this moment, he arrived at Viscount Weiss's armory and reunited with the Underworld Lord Mictetika Shiva and the Big Skeleton who had just arrived.

Almost as soon as he came in, he closed the door.

Thus, there was only one open door left in the palace of Eternal Night City.

——The path to the Evening Star.

The man laughed and shook his head, "Run? It's no use."

He just flashed and flew into the door.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Suddenly, an angry roar came from the door, mixed with a hint of panic.

The door disappeared immediately.
