Adventurer Alquist - this name has been circulated in and outside the free world game for a long time, just because before the players had experienced various adventures and battles, the existence of this person was related to the city in the sky.
, one of the legends that is juxtaposed with the wonders of the mainland such as the Endless Bridge. According to rumors at the time, this NPC who always saw the beginning but not the end of the dragon was very powerful in both exploration and fighting skills, and was always able to take advantage of various
There are various clues to find ancient ruins and clues that many players can't find. Those ruins may not be able to enter the eyes of players now, but Yalqvist himself still has unparalleled value, and many of them still have unparalleled value.
Players who are still looking for him have always wanted to use the attraction of this NPC to find more hidden secrets and tasks on this continent. However, thanks to its unique wandering nature, those who have met him have been
Players have always been unable to keep up with this adventurer, so this legendary figure who has been traveling around the continent has become a missing person as famous as Lola, the self-proclaimed traveling merchant.
And now, just as described in the legend, this Easter egg-like figure appears in front of Xu Yu Liushang with a simple and practical image of an adventurer.
"Excuse me, are you...?"
"Well...we are adventurers from the Principality."
Seeing the woman standing there without any reaction, Doomsday Sad looked helpless and then walked forward with a dry smile: "I heard from this top boy that someone here needs help, so we came here."
"...Three more people are here, right?" Then the adventurer NPC nodded towards Xu Liushang: "Thank you for coming to help despite your busy schedule, but..."
"This adventure may involve more ancient secrets." The smile on his face faded slightly: "The situation may also become more dangerous. I hope you can understand it."
"This is nothing, even if it is an S-level mission... we can accept it." Leng Yulihun on the other side replied in a low voice: "We just want to know what the mission is."
"The content is very simple - just escort me into that city."
What answered him was an increasingly bright smile: "The energy response has become particularly strong in this place. There should be a large furnace device hidden here, but in this way, the guards guarding here should also become
Stronger..."
"Wait, wait, wait." Doomsday Sadness, who raised his hands, interrupted the other party with a long string of identical repeated syllables: "What? You mean city? Is there any city near here?"
"The nearest city from here is probably Redkar, the capital of the empire, but it's at least half a day's journey there." Leng Yulihun's expression gradually turned cold: "Why, you want to take us to that uninhabited place?"
Traveling to a place that no one knows about?"
"...Ah, please forgive me for being rude." The adventurer who called himself Ate hurriedly bowed again: "I'm sorry I didn't make it clear. This Nalufak ruins... used to be a city."
"……I see."
The wordless silence gradually dispersed as he turned back to point at the yellow sand ruins, and then was broken by the murmuring of the red lips that finally spoke: "I'm still wondering what's the reason why a person like you...
I was attracted here...that should make sense."
"Narufak means 'city of light' in the language of the ancient empire. It is a long-standing and great city." Art slowly revealed his yearning eyes: "The rumored city has more resources than the sea.
Although it is definitely an exaggeration to ask for a vast land and a building bigger than the sky, the magnificent scene can be seen.”
"Is it as exaggerated as you said?" The disapproving Doomsday Sorrow curled his lips and shook his head: "Even the ancient Magic Empire, which was at its peak, their buildings at that time were just like that. We have also seen the City in the Sky.
There seems to be nothing special except floating in the sky..."
"I'm not talking about the ancient magic empire, I'm talking about the empire from a long time ago."
Interrupting the player with a smile, Art's voice then passed through the ears of all the players: "Many civilizations have appeared since before the ancient magic empire, and many of them have also had glorious histories.
, but due to various reasons, only the ancient magic empire Mojik ruled to the end..."
"Moanjik?"
"Yes, the ancient magic empire Moanjik."
As if he didn't realize that he had inadvertently revealed another shocking secret, Art smiled and looked at the center of the sky in the far east: "There is also the Empire of Light Nalufak, the Kingdom of Knights Rodrik...
Many magnificent and powerful empires appeared in that epic and magnificent history, and used their respective civilizations to compose countless fascinating histories."
"Roderick..."
He repeated this familiar word in his mouth, and his head sank as he murmured: "Is it that... country that once appeared in the sea?"
"Strictly speaking, they are not a country in the sea."
Shaking his head, the adventurer named Art turned around and walked out of the ruins where he was hiding: "The civilization left by those guys has nothing to do with the word sea, but it is a very long one."
If you have time, I can tell it to those of you who are interested..."
"What we need to deal with today is the story of this ruins." He checked his equipment, and then took out an old metal dagger: "Nalufak, the capital of light... Hmm, even if it is...
Even if you pick the weakest link, there will still be many high-energy reactions."
"...Are there many mechanical guards in this place?" Doomsday Sadness, who stood on tiptoes after hearing the sound, looked towards the front of the ruins where they were: "Why don't I see any?"
"It's normal that I didn't see it." The person who answered him was not Art, who had started to move forward at the front, but the Salted Fish King who had already been lurking aside: "Because it is daytime now."
"These machines left behind by the civilization of the City of Light have the ability to use the refraction of light during the day to become invisible."
boom--
A violent earthquake sound appeared in front of Yate as the Salty Fish King said these words. At the same time, an ancient and broken mechanical arm appeared, which was a centaur and half-horse machine unique to ancient machinery.
Then, like a scanned laser print, the image slowly appeared in front of Xu Yu Liuzhang and the others. He calmly took a step back again, and Art, still with a smile on his face, then turned sideways to avoid the giant...
The mechanical arm flashed once again, and the metal dagger in his hand then flashed an obscure light in the air, with the sight of him suddenly disappearing and appearing behind the mechanical monster: "Well..."
"It seems very hard to the touch."
A clanking sound then sounded in the center of the path where Art suddenly flashed, and with the metal dagger crossing the surface of the magic machine, a straight white light bloomed towards the surroundings. The seemingly old one
The metal frame covered with yellow sand did not suffer any damage from the multiple stabs used by Art before. Instead, it emitted a harsh and sharp warning sound. Countless scalp-numbing heavy objects were broken.
Sora's voice then appeared around everyone, with countless ancient magic machines of different sizes slowly revealing their figures and surrounding the location of several people. He tried his best to fend off one of the ancient machines and directly
After the collision, Doomsday Sorrow retreated for more than ten steps to remove the force exerted on him by the other party. His original words of trying to be a hero turned into a warning to his teammates: "Be careful! These guys..."
"Do you think we are all as weak as you?"
The ice-blue sword energy transformed into brilliant strips of light, and in a blink of an eye it covered the bodies of several magic machines that were trying to rush in again from the other direction. The frozen ice contained in the intertwined blue arcs
The air did not freeze the tall monsters into ice sculptures like the Ice Galaxy, but it still slowed down their speed by a few points. The smoke rising into the sky was followed by the release of a gorgeous long sword.
Among the monsters in the wilderness on that side, elegant streams of flames gradually formed. The tails of flames like shooting stars then dispersed the ice-blue freezing air on those monsters and turned into a flower.
A beautiful fire flower attached to the surface of those magical machines: "Hua Yan——"
"The Flower of Flame!"
Boom boom boom——
Following the loud shout from the whispering mouth, the beautiful fireworks exploded one after another driven by Hua Yan, and the chain reaction of the confluence of them filled the area with a heavy magical bombardment.
Every corner of the ruins was instantly enveloped by most of the ancient mechanical monsters that surrounded it. Leng Yulihun, who was responsible for the deceleration, also returned to the original place in the high temperature in front of him, quietly with the sorrow of the apocalypse around him.
The ground was alert to the surrounding movements, and the top boy who rolled out of the area staggered and fell to the ground, looking at the explosion scene in front of him with disbelief: "This has not stopped yet.
,this……"
"What a beautiful shot."
I don't know when he appeared in front of them. Art, who was flapping his hands, then walked to Xu Yuliu Shang's side: "You are very powerful, and so is the sword in your hand..."
"...Do you recognize this sword?"
"Although I don't know it itself, I know the disk on it."
Pointing to the small shield on Huayan's side as a gauntlet, Art's voice once again became like a knowledgeable scholar: "This kind of design style that pursues gorgeousness should be a product of the Kingdom of Marvolus.
, it is said that that kingdom is famous for its passion for pursuing the protection of the sun and the flames, and its taste and design also tend to pursue publicity and indulgence..."
"Now it seems that this sword suits you very well." His eyes roamed back and forth around the murmuring figure: "It's just that you don't seem to be in a good mood right now... something unhappy happened to you.
Yet?"
"……you know me?"
"It's just my intuition as an adventurer, please don't pay attention to it."
Smiling and saluting again, Art's expression was a little apologetic: "As an adventurer who has traveled across the continent, I have seen many people and things, and my inquiring mind and curiosity have always prompted me to
I continue to understand and learn from them, so...it has become a habit now."
"But no matter what, please believe in my good intentions." After saying this, he slightly touched his palms and bowed: "If there is anything I can do to help you, please just say it."
"...I have heard your story from his mouth."
Still in the raging flames that filled the sky, Wu Yu Liushang put away his sword and stared at the face of the man in front of him: "Are you... really a legendary adventurer?"
"It's true." Art stood up again and raised the corner of his mouth: "For example..."
"I know that those products of the Light Empire are actually not very afraid of fire attacks."
The words he just said were gradually blurred by his sudden flash. At the same time, the adventurer who called himself Art turned into a phantom again and disappeared. The giant shadow belonging to the magic mechanical arm then traveled back and forth.
The smoke of the flames that had not dissipated hit the ground where Art had just disappeared. Wu Liushang, who was suddenly startled in his heart, then moved two steps slightly behind him and partially blocked it with the shield on the hilt of the Hua Yan sword.
Another giant mechanical arm attack followed in front. The female swordsman should have been knocked away due to the difference in strength. Instead, a cyan light flashed across the surface of her body, and then she transformed into the image of a centaur.
A virtual image of a rider drawing a bow and shooting an arrow: "Block the attack..."
"Keep moving forward!"
boom!
The sight of a cyan stream of light flying straight into the sky, accompanied by the loud metal collision sound, shot out diagonally from the surface of the flame in Xuyu Liushang's hand, and penetrated straight through the chest of the magic machine. The seemingly extremely hard metal material was also here.
A circular hole with burning cracks was punched out under the penetration of a ray of light, and then spread rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The violent explosion then threw everything near the whispering mouth away, and at the same time, it became clear that
Looking at the death of the first enemy after the war started, looking at the apocalyptic sadness of all this, he let out several loud whistles, and his expression and morale were also boosted: "As expected of the eldest sister, counterattack can trigger Sagittarius' attack
It works well!”
"I can't hide it anymore." After exchanging glances with Leng Yulihun, he then took a step back, and at the same time raised the shining dagger in his hand again: "Don't think
I hold the sword..."
"I am really a swordsman."
The rumbling sound of earthquakes appeared in front of the battlefield as he grinned. It was the sound made when streams of earth magic flashed around the ruins, and several magic aircraft were covered with burn marks.
The machinery then suddenly fell downwards in the ground collapses that appeared under their feet, and disappeared in front of everyone in an instant. (To be continued)
