"...How is the situation?"
"Report to Sister Xue, we have tried our best to hold back the surrounding reinforcements, but now the number of people has become more and more, so..."
"That's not what I'm asking! What I'm asking is - how's the negotiation going?"
"Negotiate, negotiate? Well, Sister Xue... do we really want to break in?"
The black sky began to become brighter as time went by, and at the same time the entire city of Zaraha was once again clearly presented on the continent of the free world, but compared with the ancient city in the past
, all the players who came from other places after hearing the news were able to see the huge shadow standing over the city. The growing curiosity also made the trend of people heading to the city become more turbulent, and at the same time
It also made the city of Zaraha, which was already overwhelmed by the war, become even more chaotic. This also made some unsustainable swing forces who had already thought they were sure of victory become even more worried: "The fight outside has been completed.
Like this, we still have to continue arguing with them..."
"They say they are our allies, but in fact they have been guarding us. Not only do they not allow us to participate in this plan, but they also always let us go out as cannon fodder..."
The voice that seemed to be talking to himself was wandering as coldly as the cold wind in winter. The figure belonging to Snow Spirit Huanbing stepped over the shoulder of the Wings of Freedom player, looked up at the sky, and then his eyes fell back to his own.
In front of them, on the surface of the huge black light pillar: "If they are still not willing to reveal even half of the information by this time..."
"The previous operation between you and that guy from Free Flight can almost be declared a complete failure."
Amidst the fireworks that filled the sky and the shouts of battle in the distance, she pushed away the last two guild members who did not dare to step forward to stop her, and then stepped on the two men dressed as rebels with her blood-stained high-heeled iron boots.
In front of them, their raised eyes met: "...Is it Miss Xue Ling Huan Bing? Master Ye Walker has already said that without his order, no one is allowed to approach without permission..."
"I have no intention of continuing to break in. After all, you have seen the current situation."
Pointing to the surrounding scene, Xueling Huanbing looked towards the shadow in the sky where they were: "I only have one question now... How long do you have to complete the mission?"
"... Regarding the completion time, your Excellency did not tell us clearly." After looking at each other, one of the rebels replied in a low voice: "But what we can be sure of is... it will be over soon."
"……very good."
Nodding slowly, Xue Ling Huan Bing's cold voice softened a bit: "In this case, I will no longer ask you to enter that high tower, but... if you really succeed, I will
I hope to be able to board that city as a member of my companions.”
"...We will pass your request to the adults." Another member of the resistance replied in a low voice: "As a reward for you and your team of adventurers who have helped us for so long."
"We have helped you for so long, and in the end we can only get a reward for delivering a message?" Xueling Huanbing took another step forward: "You...really want to be so harsh?"
"Don't be excited, Your Excellency Snow Spirit Huanbing of Wings of Freedom."
A low and old voice then appeared behind the two resistance guards who wanted to stop the woman from advancing. At the same time, she silently suppressed Xue Ling Huan Bing's attempt to draw her sword: "Zaraha City's
The current situation is no longer clear enough, and old friends from the Mage Council are coming soon. If you and your guild are really willing to help us... wouldn't it be better to vent your strength on them then?"
"Melius."
As if he had seen an enemy, Xue Ling Huan Bing's expression, covered by a silver mask, became gritted: "You actually..."
"Don't get excited, madam."
After letting out a few proud chuckles, Melius walked slowly in front of her on crutches: "After all, we are still allies now, aren't we?"
"I have never seen an ally who is unwilling to reveal all his plans to this point." Xue Ling Huanbing, who calmed down slightly, stared closely at the opponent's old face: "I have never seen him either.
Allies who are unwilling to reveal the truth about the past to their allies.”
"Believe me, entering the Tower of Tyran now will have no effect on you." Melius smiled and waved his hand: "You won't find anything you want to find there, and...
…Even if you find the so-called truth, it won’t do you any good.”
"This is my freedom." Xue Ling Huan Bing continued without giving in: "Don't I even have the right to choose?"
"Of course you do, dear lady." Melius replied with a slight smile: "But some choices will make people progress, and some... will only increase pain and helplessness."
"……I accept."
Reaching out and pressing the green gem with rolling black light embedded on his chest, Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes turned dark again: "No matter what, I will accept it all, and then... fight that guy with my own hands.
Make a break with the past."
"Very good, very good. I feel relieved now."
He praised loudly and clapped his hands, and Melius' back turned and left gradually disappeared into the black beam of light: "Then see you later."
"After the void connection is established, I will personally... take you in."
The huge black light beam that had spread to the size of several people hugging each other then engulfed the old man's body. At the same time, it also engulfed the sinister smile on the old man's face after some kind of trick was successful. Two mysterious men dressed as rebels.
The guard then returned to the front of Xue Ling Huan Bing, completely covering her lowered and silent expression. The noise from this city also began to become louder and louder as the war gradually approached.
The sight of countless players rushing towards this remaining pillar of light continues to spread along every block. The temptation from above and the growing thickness of the mysterious black pillar of light also make these players more excited to fight.
The figure became more and more fanatical: "Fight it! Fight it! That must be another entrance to the Sky City!"
"If gods stand in the way, they will kill the gods; if they stand in the way of the Buddha, they will kill the Buddha! Whoever comes will die!"
"Have you decided on the resurrection point? Once it's decided, bring it to me! Those big guilds will be going to play games soon, and they don't have time to continue with us!"
"I'll cut them all! Don't let any of the rebels or the Imperial Army go...ahhhhhhhh!"
"……a bunch of idiots."
Looking at the players who were still provoking people after falling into the melee, Nifeng leisurely let out a sigh, and then withdrew his eyes that were looking downward from the blood-soaked streets and placed them in front of him: "
How's the investigation going?"
"...The brothers who went underground haven't come back yet, Boss Feng." A member of Wizard who was following him heard the sound and hurriedly replied: "Maybe they haven't captured anything yet."
"It's also possible that they encountered obstacles and are now running away from the body."
Sighing slightly, Nifeng leisurely touched the small stone pillars standing on the roof in front of him with his hands: "It seems that our guess was half right. They really put it underground where the secrets are most likely to appear."
Heavy troops."
"Then, what should we do? Let's talk to Boss Ri?"
"Boss Ri...hahahaha, I like this title."
Turning back and giving a thumbs up to the subordinate who was scratching his head, Nifeng's leisurely voice then returned to calmness: "But... no need, we still have the other half that we haven't guessed correctly."
"...the other half?"
"Yes, there may be a secret other half."
Pointing to the stone pillar in front of him, Nifeng leisurely explained in a low voice: "These symbols... I have seen these symbols. They once appeared in the ruins near Falling Star Mountain. At that time, they also caused a stir around Eta County.
The trend..."
"Are these symbols useful?" The player asked strangely: "Why do they appear here?"
"The reason why they are here is unclear to me."
Touching the surface of those stone pillars with his fingertips, Nifeng slowly closed his eyes with a calm expression: "But..."
"I have an irresponsible answer to their role."
The dark vision was then replaced by the results from the magic induction. Various magic fluctuations from this chaotic city then appeared in Nifeng Leisurely's spiritual induction, and traces of imperceptible elemental traces later appeared.
After passing through the energy storm and void interference, the tip of the stone pillar appeared in front of him. The energy fluctuation that had begun to appear since the previous emerald green light pillar had never been sensed by his magic at this time.
Disappeared, and together with the energy emitted from the surface of the stone pillars in other parts of Zalaha City, they continued to circle up along their original trajectories. The signal-like fold lines gradually extended into the distant sky, connecting with the continent in the sky.
The thread is together.
"The City in the Sky does not appear here for no reason."
She stretched out her hand and used magic power to lift the frozen girl-shaped ice cube in front of her. At this time, Christine, who was above the Sky City, said the same conclusion in a low voice: "This follower of yours
The initiation of the ritual may be one of the reasons for summoning it to appear, but it is by no means all the conditions for it to appear here. The city of Zaraha and the energy filling the vicinity... should also be the reason for this city to appear here.
condition."
"……that's right."
Duan Qing nodded slowly, and then opened his adventurer map with a heavy face: "I still remember those stone pillars in the city... They should have a corresponding relationship with this city."
"This Miss Ayina probably mobilized the power of the entire city and completed the ritual of the emerald green light beam with one person." Christine said in a low voice: "If she still remains in the situation of interference,
If she can remain intact...then I, a great magician, will have to praise her a few times."
"It's useless to talk more." Duan Qing, who was not in the mood to joke, shook his head and replied: "I just want to know... where should we go to find a solution to her physical problem."
"Zaraha City and Metatron are both good choices. After all, these two cities are closely related to Miss Ayina." Christine began to move towards the front of the square with a huge ice cube.
: "But compared to the chaotic city below...the possibilities and safety here are much higher."
"Based on what she said before, we have probably only seen the tip of the iceberg of this city so far."
Looking at the words "Sky City, Outer City" displayed on the adventurer's map in his hand, Duan Qing let out a low sigh: "So... now I just hope that the things inside that gate can be found."
Well-preserved in high-altitude storms.”
"They will be preserved."
Her footsteps stopped in the middle of the square where rubble and gravel were strewn. Christine, with her hands raised in the air, looked at the surface of the moat where the steps and the city wall were connected in front of her: "Such a tight physical protection..."
"This is not the only protection here." Duan Qing, who then walked forward, turned around hurriedly: "It's coming."
Buzz——
A loud surge of energy, accompanied by the unique hum of the magic machine, then appeared in the center of the square, followed by the appearance of a giant magic machine figure that fell heavily to the ground, and the shadow of the giant machine that covered the sky and the sun followed.
It completely covered up the figures of Duan Qing and Christine, and at the same time emitted a unique electronic sound when the machine was running. It seemed that it had been tortured for thousands of years, and the sound it made at this time seemed to be the same as the sound it made.
The damage shown was no longer discernible, but the mechanical arm raised at that moment still instantly shattered the ice magic shield that the great magician had maintained before: "Warning...warning, warning——"
"shut up!"
Loud shouts then echoed around the entire square, accompanied by the dazzling blue light that suddenly lit up on the tip of the staff that Christine raised again, and a huge cone of ice followed the magic handle.
The front where the staff was pointed exploded, and the giant machine that was close at hand was enveloped in a wider range of wild torrents. The already very cold temperature once again dropped by more than ten degrees to the biting ice, and I had just made preparations for a counterattack.
Duan Qing straightened up helplessly, then looked at the huge magical ice cube that gradually appeared in front of him, and sighed slightly: "Although this is another victory in the confrontation between magic and machinery that I have seen,
But… isn’t this a bit too unrestrained?”
"...I am different from my dear sister. My magic has always been like this."
Withdrawing her staff, which was still smelling of frost, and holding up the frozen Ayina again, Kristine turned and walked towards the door directly in front: "Seize the time and move forward."
"I don't know how long I can seal it." (To be continued)
