Chapter 359: The Sky Blue Castle on the Floating Island
At this moment, looking at the thousands of petrified winged humans on the huge floating square, Lei Xiao couldn't help but take a deep breath and try to calm down his mind.
I have to say that this scene, which seems to be frozen in time, is indeed very shocking.
Look carefully, among these winged statues of different shapes.
Most of them are warriors wearing leather armor or robes, with different weapons in their hands, and a few are ordinary residents wearing robes.
Since they are already in a mottled petrified state, it is impossible to identify the color of the clothing on these stone statues. Of course, the weapons in their hands have already turned into stone.
In addition, there are some stone statues scattered on the ground, still looking like they were flying and landed directly on the ground.
However, perhaps because the caster's magic is too powerful, these statues appear to be extremely hard, with almost no damage.
Among them, not far from Lei Xiao.
There was a winged human stone statue that was still in flight. It even smashed the edge of a fountain pool, but it was still intact.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then turned around and asked the muscular priest next to him: "Ye Cang.
How long have these Winged Humans been petrified? Is there a more accurate time?"
"Sir, according to the analysis of my subordinates, this time point should be in the blank era three thousand years ago.
In other words, this winged human race boundary area has looked like this since the moment it was petrified three thousand years ago.
Of course, perhaps it is more appropriate to call it destruction, because the winged humans here are actually equivalent to death."
At this time, Ye Cang, who was dressed in black robes, had already walked up to the stone statue of a slender young Winged Human warrior.
He stretched out his hands, placed his palms against the solid stone statue's torso, felt it carefully, and responded.
"Is it that unknown blank era again?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, with an expected look on his face, and began to ponder again.
So far, this is the second time we have set foot on the alien city that was destroyed in the blank era.
However, compared to the elf clan ruins where the corpses were not seen for the first time, this winged human clan's barrier area is obviously more shocking.
"It seems that at that time, all races in this world encountered some extremely terrifying enemies."
Realizing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but take a deep breath again and continued to think: "This, coupled with what Wang Xi mentioned, the gods no longer favored him, and the disappearance of the chosen son of God.
Could it be said that a war between the gods and all races really took place at that time?
But, as I thought before, if this is really the case.
Then, the gods, who clearly won this war in the end, should alert all races and let all races remember this lesson.
Therefore, the gap in history during the Blank Age is obviously not consistent with common sense, and there must be many unknown secrets in it."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly and brought his thoughts back to the group of winged humans in front of him who had already been petrified.
After pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked the muscular priest wearing a black priest's robe beside him: "Ye Cang.
There is still a very weak breath of life left in these winged humans.
Moreover, as far as I know, petrification magic should be able to be purified.
If this is the case, is it possible for these winged humans to be purified and return to normal?"
There is no doubt that as long as we can find a way to bring these winged humans back to normal.
Then, the true face of the enemy they encountered back then can naturally be revealed.
"Sir, this possibility does exist in theory." On the other side, Ye Cang bowed slightly.
Then, he shook his head and said: "One of the strengths of our dark healers is to use the power of darkness to purify various forbidden magics that also come from darkness.
However, adults may not know something.
The success of purification petrification magic mainly depends on two factors.
One is the level of the target that has petrification magic attached to it.
The second is the time for the target to be petrified.
Judging from the current situation.
The first point is that the petrification magic on these winged humans is obviously very advanced, far beyond the level that their subordinates can distinguish, and it is difficult to judge the specific class.
The second point is that these winged humans have been petrified for three thousand years. Even if they still have a trace of life in their bodies, it is already extremely weak.
Therefore, at least at this stage, we cannot help these Winged Humans purify themselves no matter what."
"I understand, at least there is hope for the future." Weiwei nodded, and Lei Xiao did not dwell too much on this matter.
At this stage, the only thing that can be done to achieve this point is undoubtedly to continue to accumulate strength.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao waved his hand, signaling for everyone to take action, and then concluded: "In short, the conclusion that can be drawn at present is that there was a blank era three thousand years ago.
The winged humans in this barrier area obviously encountered extremely powerful enemies.
Moreover, because the enemy appeared so suddenly, the golem puppet guardians at the entrance to the Nexus were not alerted.
From this, it cannot be ruled out that other areas here still have a large number of golem puppet guardians from the Winged Tribe, and they are still in a normal state.
Therefore, the top priority now is to find Faxia and the others first, and then restore this barrier according to the plan.
As for the detailed exploration work here, we can leave it to the end.”
"Yes! Sir." Hearing this, everyone including Carol regained their spirits.
Then, under Lei Xiao's command, they began to search separately for the teleportation magic array in the floating square.
…
Somewhere in the winged human race boundary area.
I saw an island suspended in mid-air, covered with towering ancient trees and all kinds of strange fluorescent flowers and plants.
In the center of the sky island, there is also a vast turquoise lake.
The surface of this lake is also dotted with fluorescence, just like the starry sky at night, and is covered with all kinds of magical seaweed.
Under the sunshine, the lake surface sparkled everywhere, reflecting the rainbow-like colorful brilliance.
In the center of the lake, there is a large island floating.
On the island, a giant sky-blue castle stands proudly.
Such a picture, coupled with the fantastic scenery around it, makes everything look like a fairy tale world.
However, look carefully.
The metal suspension bridge at the gate of this sky-blue castle has been hung high by black iron chains, and a heavy black metal gate has also fallen at the gate.
On the towering walls of the castle, rows of elite soldiers holding sharp blades stood neatly, and the arrow towers on both sides were filled with archers holding longbows.
I saw these soldiers all with nervous and solemn expressions. The floating moon emblem on their silver-white armor shone brightly in the sun.
And, it can be clearly seen.
The city walls and the armor of the soldiers were covered with patches of blood that had not yet dried up. There were also many broken gaps in the battlements and part of the city walls.
The air was also filled with a moist smell of blood, which obviously indicated that a fierce battle had occurred here not long ago.
Inside the heavily guarded castle, it was even more chaotic.
The wooden furniture and metal decorations in many rooms were scattered on the ground, and everything was in a mess, as if they had just suffered a violent earthquake.
In the main hall of the castle, a middle-aged man with gray temples was seen sitting on the throne at the top.
He has a soft face, a carefully trimmed O-shaped beard, and exudes the aura of an elegant gentleman. He is wearing a dark blue robe.
However, the most eye-catching thing is his well-trimmed and thickly waxed hair, which looks meticulous.
Next to him, stood a young woman in a neat pale gold dress. Her delicate face and frizzy short hair made her very recognizable. She was Faxia, who had lost contact with Lei Xiao.
Behind Faxia, there is a slender female figure.
She was seen wearing braids and a black and white maid outfit, with a capable temperament on her fair cheeks. Of course she was another strong person on our side, Ah Bing.
At the bottom of the hall, there are three gray-haired old men standing.
These three old men were all dressed in light blue robes. They looked strong and strong, giving them a sense of strength with age.
Moreover, these six people in the hall all exude a good momentum.
But his face still showed the awe-inspiring look of a formidable enemy, making the air filled with a thick atmosphere of tension.
"Great Elder, how is the situation in the castle now?" At this time, the middle-aged man sitting at the top asked with a frown.
This middle-aged man is Faxia's father, the current lord of Shuiyue City.
"Returning to the Lord of the City, the dozen tourists stranded in the castle have all been settled as soon as possible.
At present, they don’t know what happened and there is no need to worry too much.”
The old man in blue robe who was in the lead bowed slightly and responded: "As for the other family members living in the castle, except for those with fighting ability.
have been prohibited from leaving their respective rooms, as are servants and other staff.
Therefore, although there was great panic and uneasiness, there was no large-scale chaos inside the castle."
Looking at the respectful expression on the elder's face, Faxia, who was standing aside, had a solemn look on his face and could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
You know, as the chief elder of the family council of elders, he had always been her father's sworn enemy, and he had deep opinions on her learning alchemy.
She was looking for opportunities almost all the time, trying every possible means to pull her father down from the throne of Shuiyue City Lord.
However, this time when Fasha returned home, he was surprised to find.
This former rival not only came to greet him immediately.
Moreover, he also showed a smile that he had never seen before, which was completely different from his previous indifference and fierceness.
Fasha found out by asking his father.
Some time ago, when the lord transported a total of 2 million golden dragons to Shuiyue City in her name.
The attitude of the Great Elder's group quickly changed drastically.
From being a staunch opponent, he almost immediately became a loyal supporter of his father.
At first, Faxia's father, the city lord, was of course skeptical about this, thinking that it was another conspiracy of the Great Elder's group.
However, it didn't take long.
The Great Elder's faction actually voluntarily handed back all the power they had firmly held in their hands to Faxia's father.
Especially the commander of the city's garrison and the city's financial officer, two extremely important positions.
At this point, Faxia's father, who had regained complete control over the entire Shuiyue City, arranged a few more jobs for the Great Elder's group.
At that time, when Faxia heard about this incident, he expressed that he was greatly shocked. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a series of uncontrollable admiration for the lord.
This can be clearly seen through the series of performances of the Great Elders' faction.
The reason why they changed so quickly was that the person they were afraid of was obviously not her father, the city lord, but the lord who had not even shown his face!
On the other side, while saluting respectfully.
A look of helplessness appeared on the great elder's old face.
The current inexplicable situation, if it were in the past, they would have scolded Faxia's father first.
However, the current situation is different from the past.
Behind this girl, Faxia, stands a big shot who can produce 2 million golden dragons at once!
As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes, and going against such a powerful and powerful person is simply seeking death.
These old guys, who are hundreds of years old in total, naturally understand this better than anyone else.
Therefore, the decision was made to hand over power.
Otherwise, once the other party strikes first, the consequences will undoubtedly be unpredictable.
Moreover, this time, after Faxia and her personal maid A Bing came back, their strength has skyrocketed, reaching the unbelievable peak level of the third level.
Even if this girl is extremely talented, there is no way she can practice so fast, let alone Ah Bing, whose talent is not as good as hers?
What is undeniable is that this miracle of cultivation happened exactly after Faxia took back the 2 million golden dragons.
If you say this has nothing to do with that big shot, you won't believe it even if you beat them to death.
From this, it can be seen that this big man is obviously much more terrifying than they imagined.
All in all, at present, apart from being grateful that his decision to give up power was the most correct choice in his life, the great elder naturally has no other thoughts in his heart.
"Very good, please go ahead and order all the guards and clan members above the second level in the castle to maintain the highest level of vigilance at all times."
Immediately afterwards, Faxia's father, the city lord, looked solemn and gave another order.
After speaking, the middle-aged Lord of Shuiyue City first sighed heavily, then his eyes were blurred, and he recalled the scene that happened at the beginning.
