I am very embarrassed to admit that after spending a long time with this group of giant dragons who seemed to have gone astray on the evolutionary tree in every aspect, I almost forgot the purpose of this group of people coming here.
"There is an ancient ruins near here," I looked at the black dragon, Charta's wife, and said loudly, "In fact, we came here for that ruins."
All the dragons fell silent in unison. Char touched his wife's neck and whispered: "He is talking about the Forgotten Garden. They want to open that forbidden land."
The atmosphere seemed to have undergone a subtle and rapid change. If the one second before me was still a group of happy hermits whose evolution had collapsed, this second I felt as if the people standing in front of me had really become a group of guardian dragons, black
The dragon Tracy looked here with huge eyes, and her tone suddenly became serious: "You are going to the Forgotten Garden? Do you know where that place is?"
"I know, according to us, there should be a complex of buildings left by our compatriots a long time ago," Sandora looked at Tracy and said very naturally, "Lin and Charles have learned about that ruins before.
Condition."
"You said that you are the same race of the ancient gods who left this world?" The red dragon, who seemed to be the oldest and most calm, asked in a thunderous low voice, "Now is not the time to joke - you mean
real?"
"I feel a little strange," my sister frowned and looked at each other, "You... what is your relationship with the 'ancient gods' you call, and who did you think we were in the first place?"
"Our relationship with the ancient gods is not important. As for your identity in my opinion... Char said you are the gods," the red dragon made a rumbling guttural sound, "I thought he meant that you are the people of the mother continent who were
An ancient spirit revered by mortals as a god."
Sandora's glasses narrowed slightly: "Oh? In your opinion, what do those ancient spirits mean?"
"They're just stronger creatures," the red dragon shook its wings, "but it doesn't matter if the mortals of the Mother Continent say they are gods. It's just a title anyway. But here. The 'gods' of the Mother Continent are the same as those in our dragon legends.
Ancient gods are two different terms. It seems that I misunderstood Char's introduction. Do you want to say that you are actually ancient gods?"
"Um, haven't you noticed it all this time?" I suddenly vaguely realized that these dragons might have encountered the most troublesome "shielding effect" that everyone had encountered not long ago. "Do you know these things?"
Then, I activated a set of holographic projections, projecting the empire's most classic battleship clusters and psionic crystals in mid-air. Considering that this world is all about the mysterious side of the old empire, I finally projected ravens and angels.
image of.
"The last images are indeed the warriors of the gods. They have wings on their backs and fight with light and lightning. But what are those things in front of them?" Tracy looked at the virtual projection in mid-air curiously. She stretched out her paws to try to touch those images.
——Of course, she didn’t touch anything. “You don’t mean to say that those castles floating in the starry sky are evidence that you are the ancient gods, right? I don’t remember that the ancient gods have that kind of thing. Although I have never experienced the ancient gods.
The glorious era of rule. But the things in legend can still be remembered unmistakably."
"Also, those castles are really spectacular," Charles muttered. "Although there is the will of the ancestors' spirits, I can't confirm the identities of these people, so I brought them here. They are indeed not the people who were killed in the mother continent.
An ancient spirit that is regarded as the 'gods', but it doesn't look like it is the legendary ancient god."
Sure enough, it appeared! That weird split shield!
Just like Pandora and the others, they have no memory of these lost worlds. The dragon clan in this world once had contact with the old empire, and the legends passed down by their clans also have no information about the technology of the old empire. Since the disaster, the technology of the old empire has completely disappeared.
The side and the mysterious side are completely separated with this world as the dividing line, and there is an unexplainable information barrier on both sides.
Or more strictly speaking, this information barrier is based on the Fifteenth District of the Old Empire, and what is separated is all the technological data and more than 80% of the mysterious data in the Fifteenth District of the Old Empire.
"Fortunately, you at least know the image of angels," I pointed at Alaya beside me and the missing angel who was being led by Little Bubble with a rope, "This can prove something."
"I noticed that they do look the same as the legendary warriors of the ancient gods, but to be honest, I have never seen what the real warriors of the gods look like," Tracy sniffed and shook her head and said, "But it doesn't matter.
If you want to go to the Forgotten Garden, just go, we can lead the way, it's open to the public."
"Ha?!" Lin Xue couldn't help shouting, "Why didn't you tell me earlier! I thought you were the guardian dragons of the ruins! What a waste of time!" Not to mention Lin Xue, we all thought so,
I originally thought that the giant dragons here were responsible for guarding the ruins of the ancient empire, but now I heard that it was so easy to let them go? Why are they here?!
"We? Of course we are guarding the ruins, but this mission has just ended," Red Dragon nodded to Lin and said, "The instructions handed down from ancient times are very clear. The spirits of the ancestors can go to the Garden of Forgotten.
All visitors brought by spirits are also allowed. In addition, if there is no ancestor spirit to lead the way, visitors who can activate the garden gate are also allowed to enter."
After roughly understanding it, he looked at Sandora and said in the mental connection: "It seems that after the split of the Fifteenth Heaven Zone, there was a way out. Some people hope that the gods or the survivors of the empire can still open this ruins. Let's come
Right place."
The elder sister looked at Tracy and said clearly: "In other words, no matter who comes to the Dragon Kingdom and asks to go to that... Forgotten Garden, you will lead the way. Anyone who can open the door smoothly can go in, but if
There's no way to open that door..."
"Visitors can try the time of sunrise and sunset. If the door still cannot be opened after that, then there is no chance of leaving the Dragon Kingdom alive. This space will be completely closed until the dragon destroys all intruders."
The giant dragon with bronze scales on its head said, "We are not the main fighting guardian dragon. There are real guards at the entrance of the garden. They are guardians who have survived from ancient times to the present. They are more powerful than us. If just now
If the worst-case scenario mentioned occurs, we will join the battle with the guardians - by the way, you can talk to the guards to see if they know anything."
"Then take us to the ruins." It seems that the records of these giant dragons are messy. I no longer have expectations for how much knowledge they can retain, but directly put forward my request. It seems that my group
We met the conditions for opening a road by accident. Although there is no guarantee that we can open the door to the ruins, we happen to have a dragon god with us - but there is one thing I don't quite understand, why in the legend of the dragon, only I am the one.
Only the spirits of ancestors can lead people into the ruins, but the other Star Territory God Clan didn't even mention it. Did the people who left such a retreat for the Fifteen Days District only know that the Star Territory God Clan had a Dragon God?
I took this issue to the Spiritual Link public channel for discussion, and finally everyone agreed that it was because these clever dragons had stayed too long and misremembered the things their master told them back then...
The people responsible for leading us are Charles and Tracy, but this time our transportation is no longer Lin - Sandora is very worried that this fool will destroy the precious imperial relics when landing, so everyone would rather
He flew over by himself, and Lin was also ordered to fly in human form. We quickly moved away from the cloudy mountains where the giant dragon lived, and flew towards the depths of the vast sea of clouds.
Holding Little Bubble, Little Bubble held a rope in his hand. On the rope was a missing angel. Shandora next to her looked at our group and asked curiously: "You said this angel can be used as a door opener."
Key?"
"We have to try. She is the only one we have who has the authority to open the mysterious building in the Fifteenth Sky District."
As he said that, he was always paying attention to Little Bubble so as not to accidentally let go and lose the "kite". This missing angel now seems to be of great significance. In the past two days of communication with the other party, I am sure that she is feeling various kinds of loss.
The world's ruins all have certain operating authority, but we don't know how high this authority can be. Now that we know that the "Forgotten Garden" mentioned by the dragon is closed, the only hope of opening the door is this luminous kite.
Under the leadership of the giant dragon, the team passed through thick clouds, and the height kept decreasing during the period. I even felt that the height that everyone had descended was enough to reach the surface: if the lost world has a horizon. In the end, when the last clouds
Being swept behind our heads, a vast plain appeared in front of us.
This is still a piece of land floating in mid-air, but its scale is already quite large - perhaps even as big as the Shadow City. The plains are desolate and empty, and you can't even see the shadow of any plants, which is very different from the lush mountains in the sky before. At high altitude
You can see that the ground below is covered with a huge flash array. This array stretches all the way to the end of the land. Its scale is large enough to make any magic array that can be researched by ordinary magic civilization shed tears. Except for this one, which is covered with
Beyond the array of bare stone earth, we saw no shadow of any building.
Not to mention the ruins, there is not even a decent stone house. The only thing that can be seen is a huge arch that is still intact on the plain - the only man-made trace on the plain.
Char and Tracy led us to land in front of this arch. Only then did I realize that this gate was really unusually tall. Its height was probably at least two hundred meters. Lin could even fly directly from the middle using her dragon god form.
past!
Doors that are two hundred meters high are not uncommon. What is rare is that this two-hundred-meter-high thing is a ground-level building. Is it necessary for something built on the ground to be so big?
"Um...this is the ruins..." Qian Qian raised her head and looked at the empty arch in front of her. The latter seemed to be made of a building material similar to the Sky Tower. It was still the kind that no one could recognize.
, but its technical content is comparable to that of starship alloys. It has been standing here for many thousands of years, but it is still as smooth as new, with not even a single scar visible on the surface.
"We know other lost worlds," Tracy touched the cold metal on the arch with the tip of her nose, with some emotion in her tone, "In those places where the power of the ancient gods cannot reach, everything has been turned upside down in the past years.
Many intelligent creatures have found those lost worlds and left behind many fragile city-states they built there. As time goes by, those lost worlds have accumulated countless rags left by mortals of all ages. But none of them can be like the ancient gods.
Everything below is as permanent. According to the oldest guardians, this place still maintains the appearance of the time when the garden was closed, and no one has left any trace here for many years.”
The emotion of this giant black dragon is not unreasonable. We learned a lot about the lost world from Sakina. In the lost world, the ruins are not only the buildings left by the old empire, but also some ordinary buildings.
Things left behind by civilization. It has been many thousands of years since the collapse of the old empire. This period of time was enough for the wide variety of intelligent creatures on the mother continent to cycle through several civilizations. Most of the dilapidated buildings that can be found in the lost world are those in the old empire.
It was left over from the destruction of the mortal civilization that had been active in this period of time until today. Now, the city-states built by the mortal civilization have been ruined one after another. Only the "ancient gods" and those ancient Xiling apostles left behind
The ruins are still standing intact on the land of the lost world, waiting to this day as if watching our arrival.
Now is not the time to sigh. I took my mind back and focused on the huge arch in front of me.
"Is this the entrance to the Forgotten Garden?" I looked at Tracy, "Is it a teleportation device or something? And where are the guards you mentioned?"
"The Forgotten Garden was closed when I was born. Therefore, I don't know how this gate works, and I have never seen it open." Tracy stood in the center of the arch, and the scales on her body began to float.
The dark shadow explained to us, "All the dragons don't know. We are just waiting according to the instructions left by our ancestors. As for the guardians here, you will be able to see them soon..." The words fell,
The shadow power on the black dragon's body was already as real as it was, and then she suddenly roared, and all the black energy in her body exploded instantly, forming a dark fan-shaped curtain that splashed onto the surrounding doorposts.
These shadow energies obviously activated some kind of identification device, and then we heard a mechanically synthesized straight female voice: "The identification system is activated - it is determined to be a peripheral soldier communication. The guard chief is about to appear."
"Boom - boom - boom" waves of rhythmic low sounds came from the empty other side of the arch. It seemed as if a giant was walking here, and the heavy footsteps stopped when they came to the arch.
, Tracy and Charles bowed their heads respectfully and took a few steps back, and then we saw a huge figure reflecting the cold metal light emerging from the air in the middle of the arch.
It was a slightly familiar shape, just like the metal giant soldier I saw at the back gate square of the Sky Tower that day. It was a silver-white giant made entirely of mysterious metal and more than ten meters tall. But this silver-white giant
It is obviously different from the original guard. Its skin does not have the ring structure, but is integrated. It also wears a delicate and mighty armor, and holds a heavy golden lightning scepter in its hand. The opponent's
The heavy armor is floating with the radiance of flowing magic energy, and the cross crystal mark of the empire is inlaid on the chest. On the edge of the armor, there are complex and profound runes circulating in a circle, and the lightning scepter has three-quarters of it.
The second is made of metal, but the third is pure arcane lightning - it seems reasonable to say that it is a spear with a thunder blade. The face of this metal giant does not look like the guardian statue of the Sky Tower.
It was a smooth trapezoidal piece of metal with fine facial features: it looked like a middle-aged man with rich beard and hair, not angry and self-confident.
I couldn't help but think of the leader of the Atlanteans. Zeus seemed a bit similar to him in appearance... Of course, Zeus could never beat the guard captain in front of him, whose energy response was as powerful as a battleship reactor.
"Well, the children of the previous generation of guards... Oh, I forgot, you are now guards. You are here. What news do you have this time?" The metal giant is more than ten meters tall enough to talk face to face with Tracy and the others.
He simply ignored our group and focused entirely on the two guardian dragons. Their voices roared like thunder, and they stood upright in front of the ancient arch like giant gods guarding the heavens.
At this moment, I couldn't help but look at Sandora: an even completely normal mysterious side guardian of the old empire!
This can be communicated!
"We have brought another group of visitors who want to open the Forgotten Garden," Charles said. The frivolous and unreliable look before was completely gone. He nodded respectfully to the giant, and his attitude was no less respectful than before.
"According to ancient orders, we will bring all qualified visitors to you for inspection until someone can open the gate of the Forgotten Garden."
"Are you an adventurer again?" The giant's attitude seemed a little disinterested, "Your grandfathers brought a batch 30,000 years ago, but it was burned to ashes. I don't know what will happen this time."
"They are different from the last batch 30,000 years ago," Tracy glanced at Lin, "They came to the Dragon Kingdom under the leadership of the ancestral spirits of the Dragon clan, and they claimed to be ancient gods.
"
"The spirit of the ancestors? It's the soul judgment of your dragon clan... Wait, you mean the ancient god?!" The giant suddenly reacted, and the energy halo on his body suddenly became several times stronger.
The stones instantly turned into dust under the sudden increase of pressure. "Ancient gods? Masters of the garden? That's what they call themselves?"
"I said, big man, it's about time you noticed someone under your feet, right?"
Finally decided to take the initiative to attract the other party's attention, raised his head and shouted.
The giant was attracted by the call from under his feet. He must have noticed our group from the beginning, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. Now his eyes finally fell on us. I smiled at the other person and prepared to introduce myself.
one time.
However, the next second, the giant's response to us was to wave the lightning scepter in his hand! ^-^^-^
