Romance of Gods

Chapter 132 The Night of Thorns
The thick fog shrouding London cleared, roses filled every chimney, and the Kingdom of Thorns descended in the early morning.

Plump salmon jumped out of the rose-red Thames River one after another, holding roses in their mouths, and their tail fins drew crystal arcs.

London residents and pedestrians on the street all became sculptures, and the unfinished revolution in the dynasty continued to unfold.

"Kill! Take back the Crown of Thorns from the corrupt nobles!"

St. James's Palace in central London was surrounded by countless civilian rebels armed with farm tools.

They were murderous and their eyes were fiery.

Now, the palace is home to the current supreme ruler of the Thorns Dynasty, the Vicious Queen.

As long as she is killed, the Kingdom of Thorns will change hands and a new era will begin.

The queen, with red lips like fire and black dress like a dream, stood in front of the bell tower of the palace, looking through the window at the battle below.

God, the sickles in the hands of these farmers are so sharp!

The pampered dynasty soldiers were no match for them, and they fell into the thick rose bushes one after another.

The queen was frightened. She looked at the guards behind her in shock and asked, "Where is Max? Where is my prime minister?"

"Queen Qi, Prime Minister Max led his troops to hunt down Princess Alice, and she hasn't come back yet."

"asshole……"

"Queen, you'd better run away quickly, it's very dangerous here!"

"No! I will fight side by side with my people until the last moment!"

"But protecting you is the reason why we fight."

"Okay, then I'll leave it all to you!"

"..."

The queen lifted up her skirt, ran down the steps, and fled quickly. Everyone looked at each other in shock.

In addition to this place, other landmark buildings in London, such as Tower Bridge, St. Paul's Cathedral... Westminster Abbey and other places, have all turned into boiling battlefields.

And as black light pillars lit up all over the city, cracking sounds were heard, and the peeling rocks continued to smash the petals.

The actors are awake.

In a long and narrow dark alley, two figures stood with their backs facing each other, standing at the end of the alley.

The man dressed as a groom smiled and said, "After drinking potato soup for a few days, I can finally stretch my muscles."

"Same." The figure on the other end took off the huge crow mask, put it on the bridge of his nose with a pair of gold eye sockets, and pushed it up, "How about it? Since we met by chance, let's practice?"

"Right on my mind!"

The two bodies turned at the same time, and a majestic momentum was released. Two opposing strong winds swept wildly, and scattered rose petals were floating in the alley.

[Please find your employer immediately. Once the employer dies, this story will end immediately]

At this moment, the same prompt lit up in front of all the awakened performers.

Of course, the two of them are no exception.

Hearing the loud shouts of death outside the alley, the two looked at each other and smiled.

If their employer dies in the war, the loss outweighs the gain.

"It seems there are more important things to do now."

"Indeed, there will be many opportunities for us to fight against each other in the future."

After saying that, the two took out the copper card, and blue and red arrows appeared on the card.

Following the arrow prompts, they quickly ran out of the alley.

The sudden resurrection of the statue also caused an uproar in the Kingdom of Thorns.

After all, these stones have been sleeping for tens of thousands of years in their history.

These resurrected weirdos, riding various weird vehicles, ran wildly through the streets of the city, attracting everyone's attention.

After a brief panic, the people of the Thorn Dynasty all remembered an ancient prophecy - the day the stone statue was resurrected and the new king ascended the throne!

In an apartment, a prostitute was leaning on the bed on the second floor, eating cookies and overlooking the chaos on the street.

Seeing two red-haired women grabbing each other's hair and slapping each other, she laughed so hard.

Suddenly, two hands grabbed the edge of the bed, and a sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked face suddenly rose up to look at it.

"Damn!"

boom! boom! boom!
In shock, she picked up the biscuit box and hit the jujube-shaped head in front of her several times.

The man was unmoved and kept smiling.

She clutched her chest, backed away, and cursed fiercely: "I hope you are not just tough-headed!"

The man smiled and said: "Girl, I don't mean any harm. Come with me, I will take you to conquer the world. Do you want to become the new queen of the Thorns Dynasty?"

"you are?"

"The actor."

"Plopped out of a statue?"

"That's right, let's go, baby!"

After saying that, the prostitute's eyes darkened and her body began to fall.

When she opened her eyes again, she was held by a man and fell on the street.

"Put me down! I'm not interested in being a queen!"

"It's not up to you!"

The streets are chaotic. In addition to the thorn people who are fighting, other performers who have found their employers have begun to encounter and fight.

The man thought to himself: "I took the ordinary card, so I'd better find a place to hide together and let them kill each other first..."

Thinking about it, he quickly escaped with the woman in his arms and ran towards a remote area.

Not long after, the two came to an abandoned warehouse.

As soon as he put the prostitute on the ground, hoarse singing suddenly sounded in the empty warehouse, and the sharp echo kept hitting the iron plate of the ceiling.

【...Flowers will bloom, spring will come, what are you looking forward to?

Have I let go of what should be let go? Do I need any more reasons?

Say it softly, say it quietly, as softly as the breeze...]

The frightened prostitute pointed forward and shouted: "Who is that!"

The man looked towards the source of the singing and saw a short-haired woman with a high nose walking towards him from the other side of the barn door.

Calf boots and tight black jeans hugged her slender legs, and there was an old-fashioned Walkman in the pocket of the dark red short jacket.

The visitor is not good.

"Damn it... we still have to fight..." The man cursed in a low voice, and then said to the prostitute, "You keep an eye on her, otherwise we will both die."

The prostitute is in a state of agitation, but she is perfectly comfortable at home. What is this?

But facing the threat from the man, she had no other choice but to look at the woman in the jacket.

At the same time, the jacket woman's footsteps stopped without warning, and she glanced at the floor.

Then he chuckled and said: "Interesting, you are the one who got the prostitute card. If I remember correctly, you said before that the prostitute card will charm yourself. But I didn't expect that this skill can also be used on enemies."

The man sneered, his body was like lightning, he stepped on thorns, and ran forward quickly, the light of the knife in his hand reflected the illusion of roses, "This is called a trick to suspect the enemy, how could I be stupid enough to tell my trump card in public!"

"You have a good mind, but it's a pity that you are too slow...Tiger!"

The woman in the jacket sounded sympathetic, her soft voice suddenly deepening.

As soon as the word fell, strands of air wrapped around her legs and quickly enveloped her whole body.

"what!"

The man suddenly stopped, his eyes rounded, and he slowly backed away.

The prostitute sat down on the ground, and the shocking scene made her tremble.

In an instant, a huge tiger made entirely of flower petals appeared out of thin air.

The beautiful beast squatted in front of the man, looking down at him coldly, and the song echoed in the belly of the tiger.

"Grass!"

He cursed loudly, turned around and ran away. The red tiger jumped at the same time, without giving him any chance. He caught him in his mouth and raised his head high.

Then all the rose petals exploded together, spinning at high speed under the influence of the air current, and rolled into a beautiful whirlwind, passing through his body.

The dripping dripping, the blood raining down, the man's body like a sieve was held up in the air by the excited upward petals, and did not fall down for a long time.

The actors competed on the same stage, and the information unfolded... The woman in the jacket looked at him calmly: "Before you die, remember - my name."

A capital "Cao" was printed in the man's blood-stained eyes, and he murmured: "Of course I know, this is Wu Bai..."

……

[The first kill has been completed, the new ranking has been born, you can check the details carefully]

Ranking first: Cao Chunhua (3 points)
Rank [-]: None
Rank [-]: None
……

Sixty miles north of London, in the town of Cambridge, the world is quiet under the night.

Only the Cam River on the side kept flowing, making a soothing sound.

"So fast..." Chen Yan held the card in his hand and quickly moved forward according to the prompts, "Cao Chunhua."

With this name in his mouth, he turned around and looked into the distance. London in the south was now like a huge rose.

Three points, it seems that Cao Chunhua also got the royal card.

Chen Yan didn't stop and urged his horse to gallop forward again. He was already too far behind.He didn't expect that as soon as he opened his eyes not long ago, he would arrive at this remote town far away from the city of London from Lesk Manor.

Along the way, I didn't see even a single soul.

This place is far away from the main stadium of the competition. It will take at least two hours for him to find an employer and then turn back.

The Kingdom of Thorns only existed for seven hours a day, and one-third of it was wasted in one go.

Then another reminder appeared, adding a lot of urgency to him.

[You have left the Kingdom of Thorns, please return within an hour, otherwise it will be deemed as an abstention]

[Since you are on the first night of battle, this time is extended to 3.5 hours]

Immediately, the points rankings changed one after another.

First: Cao Chunhua (9 points)
Second: Xin Bai (2 points)
Third: Wu Ming (1 point)
……

When Chen Yan arrived at the Cambridge University Library, the top ten positions were already occupied, and Cao Chunhua still firmly held the No. 1 position.

He subconsciously felt a bit threatened. This man named Cao was too strong.

Although I didn't see her take action with my own eyes, based on her frequency of killings and the speed of her score increase, she should have killed the enemy with one hit.

This is a competition between actors, and according to Fei Xiong, the strength of the members participating in this drama will not be too different.

To be able to do this, I don’t know what’s so special about her.

In the previous novels, he had not encountered many god actors, and most of them were not qualified opponents. This time, he really experienced what it means to be outsiders.

Although he was wary, he was more excited and his hands were itchy. Chen Yan was already looking forward to fighting this Huaer sister or brother.

In addition, apart from these people who are in the limelight, I don’t know how many masters are hiding in the dark.

Thinking about it, he glanced at the card in his hand. The arrow had disappeared. The Princess of Thorns is right here.

Looking at the magnificent "convex" shaped building in front of him, he opened the door and walked in.

The long corridor inside the library runs from north to south and is endless as far as the eye can see.

There are forests of wooden bookshelves on both sides, standing on the floor in black and white, like a chess board, is a giant full of knowledge.

The Cambridge Library District occupies a vast area. Although it is only the 17th century, in this world, there are nearly [-] million books in it. It is no exaggeration to say that it is vast.

Chen Yan stood at the door and heard the sound of kicking footsteps deep in the corridor. He held the green gun, hid at the edge of the bookshelf, and walked forward slowly.

[Qi Poison Body has been switched. The power of all your out-of-body magical spells will be increased by an additional 30%. When you are harmed, the enemy will be poisoned once and have a twelve-hour cooldown]

……

"You...well, you can really run. Hey...are you going to vault or move the pawn next? Sorry, I forgot, there is no princess in chess."

Between the two rows of bookshelves, the fat boy Max was leaning on his knees and his face was blue. Beside him, several soldiers in armor had collapsed from exhaustion.

Alice's white skirt had been caught in strands by thorns, and her two white calves were shaking uncontrollably.

She listened to the taunts behind her without saying a word, but still moved forward stubbornly.

The road ahead of her was opened for her by her friends who spent their lives, and she had no reason not to finish it.

"That's enough Alice! We've been chasing for long enough! Are you still expecting someone to save you! Stop...I beg you to stop! I promise I won't kill you, I really can't run Already..."

Max first threatened and then begged, but seeing that Alice still turned a deaf ear, he became furious, picked up the spear on the ground, and stabbed Alice in the back regardless.

Alice could feel that the cold spear tip was about to pierce her back, tearing the skin and breaking her heart.

"No...just take two more steps...to the end..."

She pursed her dry lips and just struggled to lift her legs. Suddenly, warm flames embraced her body, paving the way for her.

There was a dull thud, and the European-style spear was knocked to pieces like a clay toy and smashed to the floor.

"You! Who are you!"

Max fell to the ground, looking at the tall man in pirate uniform who suddenly appeared in front of him, and asked in a trembling voice.

Chen Yan shook his spear and ignored it.

Alice turned back and looked at him in surprise and surprise, "Hello...are you my hero?"

Chen Yan was startled for a moment, then nodded, "Your Highness, you can understand this."

Alice was overjoyed and hugged his arm, "Then what should I call you?"

Before Chen Yan could answer, Alice noticed the spear in his hand.

The blood-red fire clusters on the green gunfire cheered for joy, like a large rose, rushing to say: "You are the Rose Knight!"

Alice's wavy golden hair looked softer under the firelight.

She raised her head and stared at Chen Yan with her blue eyes, expecting the other person's response to the title.

The Rose Knight and the Princess of Thorns are quite symmetrical.

Chen Yan didn't like this name, so he nodded and said, "Okay, princess, you can call me whatever you want."

Alice clapped, "Great!"

Seeing the sudden appearance of reinforcements, Max swallowed his saliva and yelled tremblingly: "Hey! She's teasing you! Rose Knight... is the name of her stinky bear! Mr. Pirate, you can choose to help me, I am the prime minister of the Thorn Dynasty, and I can give you endless wealth and glory...ah!"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yan shook the big gun in his hand and pierced his face. He yelled and quickly held his head.

"do not want!"

Alice's smile froze when she saw this, and she was about to reach out to stop him. Suddenly, Chen Yan raised his arm.

The tip of the gun moved away from Max's face, tilted it quickly, and jumped wildly on the gun body. Poof, the firelight illuminated a humanoid monster that was pierced by the big gun.

Alice covered her mouth and looked intently.

The monster is all paper yellow and looks like an Eastern soldier, but it is covered with dark English letters.

Although it was pierced by a spear, she still kept swinging her fists in the air at her knight.

[Shu Pu·Informed by the "Boxing Manual", he is proficient in boxing skills]

Chen Yan opened his eyes, and the monster information came into his eyes, and he became convinced.

The monster turned into a book must be afraid of fire.

He flicked his wrist and screamed, biting the servant instantly.

call!The fireball burned instantly, the surrounding area was bright, and the paulownia wood bookshelf oozed grease under the heat.

The book servant was quickly burned and turned into several burning embers falling to the ground.

At this time, two balls of rainwater sprayed from the bookshelf next to him, extinguishing the ashes.

Two servants in overalls stood facing each other on a high place, each holding a large watering can.

The two said in unison: "Sir, open flames are prohibited in the library."

[Shu Pu·Transformed from "Common Sense of Garden Cultivation", he has a slight grasp of the two elements of water and soil]

Chen Yan nodded when he saw this, which was a bit interesting.

"It turns out you were prepared. If the gun just continued to stab downwards, I would have succeeded in this sneak attack."

A voice sounded from high up, and a middle-aged man in a scholar's robe slowly descended, flanked by eight winged servants guarding him.

He stopped in mid-air, his monocle reflecting the dim light.

"I'm not interested in kids who wet their pants."

The actors compete on the same stage, and the information unfolds!

Chen Yan looked at him, his personal information invisible under the gaze of his punishing eyes.

"First-level God Actor!"

After reading Chen Yan's message, Lu Mengran couldn't help but let out a sigh. He was the person Fei Xiong was talking about before.

It's not easy to deal with... Chen Yan thought about it, he had met the Archmage.

And matching the secrets it possesses, this library is his home court.

Hundreds of thousands of monsters are rushing towards him at the same time, which is a bit difficult to deal with.

But...it's just a little bit.

[Manjianghong has been activated, and the Thirty-Zhang Killing Formation area has been covered, greatly increasing the suppression of all evil spirits and alien races]

"It's a pity that these monsters have no blood..."

Chen Yan put away the green gun, and the slender Mo Dao blade passed in front of his eyes, and the fire spread out.

Lu Mengran sighed: "It's a pity these books..."

Suddenly, their eyes darkened, and they shouted at the same time: "Kill!"
