"..."
Slow footsteps echoed around the empty hall as Duan Qing gradually walked down the high platform. At the same time, there was the scene of him holding the ice sculpture and carefully walking through the gap in the steps. It began to collapse due to disrepair.
The stone stairs also showed signs of crumbling as the weight of the two people passed by. Working hard to maintain a fragile balance, Duan Qing finally walked safely to the ground of the gymnasium hall, and then bypassed one of the stairs.
After the huge pillar, they came to the stone table closest to them: "So many dead people..."
"It seems like it wasn't formed by accident."
He put down the ice cube that wrapped Aina, quietly approached the skeleton, and then after a period of inspection, he raised his head and looked in a certain direction ahead - the person who had been dead for a long time
The skeleton had lost its arms at this time, leaving only a human skull and torso placed on the stone platform behind the table. It tilted its head, and its dark eye holes and its widened jaw were also facing towards
Duan Qing looked in the direction he noticed: "You are..."
"What are you looking at?"
He turned around and looked at another withered skeleton not far away from him. The skeleton half lying on his seat was also looking in the same direction not far away with its open mouth, as if
Before he died, he saw something extremely horrifying. Like the table and chairs in front of Duan Qing, the stone table in front of the skeleton also looked empty and empty. After constantly inspecting these two skeletons, he then
He also set his sights farther away, and saw the clean tables and chairs and the skeletons lying or falling in front of him: "Strange..."
"Even if you are not from here, there should be something here."
He raised his hand and looked at the emerald green stone in his hand. The shining green light was constantly appearing in front of him like shining fireflies, just like the energy stones and record stones before.
Flashing continuously. He turned his gaze with some confusion. Duan Qing's eyes once again passed around the empty hall, and then within the reach of the green flashlight in his hand, he once again looked at the tables and chairs.
The result of the fruitless interaction with the corpse was confirmed: "There is no equipment, no remaining clothing or signs... not even an energy stone? You are doing this..."
"How can I find out what happened here back then?"
Putting down his raised fist, he began to move forward with some annoyance. Then, with the faint echo of footsteps coming back from the surroundings, he slowly entered the center of the hall. Still checking carefully for a long time,
His eyes immediately retracted from the other row of tables and chairs that had no traps or traps. He wanted to check the bones, but he stopped in front of one of the stone tables near the center of the hall.
on top of smooth round stones.
Different from the stones he had encountered before, the stone that appeared in front of Duan Qing's eyes was emitting a soft and strange milky white fluorescence.
"What's this?"
Looking at the green cube in his hand, he scratched his head. After a while, he carefully extended his fingers and landed on the surface of the oval stone. The imaginary trap or mechanism did not react in this paragraph.
Duan Qing immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed the stone with all his strength.
Stopped: "...Huh?"
He tried to pick up the boulder, but what he got was that the stone seemed to be inlaid in place and motionless. After exhausting all the strength of the game character, he exhaled heavily, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
:"Could it be that……"
"Is this the right way to use it?"
Buzz——
A loud buzzing sound then appeared in every corner of the entire hall, and as Duan Qing input his only earth magic energy into it, it amplified in his ears, and pieces of crystals appeared out of thin air like magic.
The bright screens were then like fireworks scattered over the stadium, blooming one after another in the air around Duan Qing. Electronic sounds composed of unknown languages continuously sounded in front of each magic screen.
In the sound, the entire hall that seemed to come alive gradually lit up with magic light that could illuminate all corners. The three-dimensional image synthesized by the intertwined light was then combined into a huge screen in front of Duan Qing.
White words flashed in front of his eyes: "▲□●◇——"
"Holy crap, can you use something I can understand...forget it."
Staring at the ghostly symbols that he couldn't understand at all, Duan Qing couldn't help but express his uncontrollable feelings. However, as if in response to his complaints, all the screens and virtual images shining in the entire hall suddenly appeared like a flash in the pan.
Disappeared again. After opening his mouth, Duan Qing finally gave up the urge to destroy something, and then after taking a few deliberate deep breaths, he returned his gaze to the surface of the milky white pebble in front of him.
: "It's so bad...it can't even be used as a battery for five seconds, right?"
"you win."
Gritting his teeth and staring for a long time, he waved his hand, and then splashed the green fluorescence that was still filling his left hand around the milky white fluorite. Magic lines composed of countless unknown symbols belonging to this area
Then they also appeared in Duan Qing's field of vision as he lowered his head, and together they formed the prototype of a huge magic array. Duan Qing, who briefly observed the magic array, then withdrew his gaze and stepped forward with him.
The passing figures moved forward together: "It seems to be used in the same way as the central hall underground... Well, considering the connection between this city and Zaraha City, what do they have in common?
indefinite……"
"Leave the rest of the issues to the Council of Mages to study."
He carried the ice sculpture on his back and continued walking towards the other side of the hall: "I just want to solve my problem now... Huh?"
"Is this... a recording crystal?"
After turning around the corner of the hall composed of rows of stone tables and chairs, Duan Qing walked to the other side of the front section between the several stone pillars supporting the hall. Several dull energy gems of various colors were just like
The ones Duan Qing had seen before were scattered on a stone platform inlaid in the middle of the stone pillars. Along with it was a small stone pillar with a strange shape. After frowning and observing the stone pillar for a long time, Duan Qing finally found it.
I found a memory similar to this small stone pillar in my memories of Falling Star Mountain, and then as if I had some enlightenment, I picked up one of the gems scattered on the ground: "It looks like..."
"It seems like there is a missing energy source."
A slight buzz of magic gradually rose in front of him as Duan Qing placed it. It was the sound made when the energy gem Duan Qing placed on the tip of the stone pillar was activated by the magic array attached to the stone pillar.
, the scholars wearing magic robes passed one by one through the three-dimensional images generated in front of Duan Qing, and slowly walked to the center of the gymnasium-style hall that was very familiar to him. A faint magical radiance then followed those few people.
The spellcasting movements of the magicians gathered together gradually rose up, lighting up the stone tables and chairs surrounding the magic circle one after another, just like the roar of a whole machine when it was started.
Occupying Duan Qing's hearing, what appeared at the same time was the large magic virtual image rising in the picture in front of him and the cheers of the crowd around him: "So it is like this, it is still a record stone recording the construction process...
…“
"Since earthy yellow represents life, then the one that represents death...should be fiery red."
He shook his head, placed another dim fiery red stone scattered on the ground on the top of the stone pillar, and then included the rising sound of energy generated when the magic circle started to work again, including the sky-wide firelight.
His eyes were blinded. Amidst the shouts of killing that were rising all around, the giant magic machines flying in the air gradually blocked the firelight that was enough to illuminate the entire sky, and the huge and thick magic beams followed.
Like rainbows scattered in the sky, it shot down the magician formation flying in the sky: "...As expected."
"Without such expansion, I can't imagine how this city could have turned into an empty city."
Looking at the aerial city that stood in the center of the picture and was burning in the flames of war, Duan Qing lowered his head deeply, and then sighed while the fire recording stone on the stone pillar was broken.
A water record stone that rolled down to the foot of the stone table was put up again. The virtual image belonging to the hall in front of him then appeared in front of Duan Qing, but this time it was the people sitting staring at the magic screens who appeared.
There was a horrified scene in front of each stone platform. The various magical radiances that were constantly flashing due to the instability of the energy shook violently, revealing a female figure covered in blood.
"...Frey."
The sudden exclamation was accompanied by a bloody sword light that exploded around the hall, and soon completely swallowed up the attired back with gorgeous armor and all the surrounding scenes, as if it could not withstand the image.
The aqua blue gem containing power then broke into pieces in front of Duan Qing, scattered around the stone pillar where the magic light gradually dimmed. Ignoring the result of the scattered pieces, he bit out the woman's name.
Duan Qing turned his gaze to the center of the hall that he had walked through before, and then frowned deeply as he kept looking at the skeletons around him: "Teleport...a large area of demon-breaking
Strength, and...such a uniform death pattern, ha."
"What a tragic story."
He shook his head and looked back at the surface of the stone pillar that looked like a playback machine. The hand that wanted to pick up the next stone stopped in mid-air, on the ancient pattern that was reflected in a green glow.
The emerald green square stone that he had been holding firmly in his hand was then slowly raised in front of him by Duan Qing. It seemed to be conveying something to him in a flickering way, staring at the surface of the square.
He just remained silent, until the sound of breathing that kept reaching his ears began to become clearer, and then he stretched out his hand: "...what?"
"Do you also... have something to say?"
The bright light then occupied his field of vision with his placing movements, completely illuminating the interior of the entire square hall. The phantom of the singer who had appeared in front of Duan Qing also appeared as before.
Like the magic screens that appeared in front of him, they condensed in the mid-air on the side of the hall with a dazzling light. He opened his eyes slightly, like a female shadow that came to life, and then stopped holding his hands together.
, then after brushing away his gorgeous robes and long emerald hair, he looked down in the direction of Duan Qing: "...This is our crime, Mo Shang Qingshan."
"...Aina?"
Carefully distinguishing the sounds that sounded in his ears, which had obviously been modified and synthesized by Ayina's poor language skills, Duan Qing finally had an expression of disbelief on his face: "How did you..."
"I believe that when you see this image, I will be dead."
Ignoring Duan Qing's involuntary questions, the image continued to speak in spliced words: "Don't be sad because of my death, because that is exactly my destiny."
"This is the fate that we, the Euclid family, deserve to accept."
"In order to build the City in the Sky, Okrit sacrificed too many things that should not be sacrificed, so when the tribe was abandoned by the Magic Empire and finally fell, our tribe leader did not feel any resentment or sadness. We are us
The last bloodline left by my tribe, but until my father who is also the leader of the tribe...he has been warning me not to try to find the glory of my original tribe like those losers who are unwilling to fail.
"
"Until...the arrival of a son of destiny who saved me."
The figure floating in the air kept swaying and looked like it was about to disappear, but on the face of the singer who was very similar to Ayina, a bright smile like the sun gradually appeared.
: "The actions of the Magic Empire cannot be forgiven by the world, but the world without their protection will also come to an end. The Oaklite family is no longer qualified to continue to rule all things from the highest point in the sky, but even sinners with heinous sins
…and I don’t want my family to suffer the tragic fate described in the prophecy.”
"If possible, please make good use of everything left by me and my tribe." In the scene where countless emerald green brilliance continued to flow and rise, the shadow of the singer began to gradually become blurred: "You are Ai
Ina’s last family member, even if Ayina cannot accompany you to the end..."
"Aina's soul will always be by your side." (To be continued)
