Chapter 2762 2763, Inheriting the Underground World (13)
——???——
"Come, let me take you to see this world, 'Supreme Mage'~"
After the "desert" disappeared, Sherlock followed Melina out of her, uh...
Bedroom? Dormitory? Boudoir? None of them seem right.
In short, Melina left the tower that she had not left since her birth.
However, this "never left" is just the result of Sherlock's own analysis. Judging from Melina's hostess look, she obviously knows what the outside world is like when it is not covered by sand.
However, she is probably limited to "knowing" that the outside world is likely to be the same as when she saved the "Sand World". It is also a mirror image of the "original body" and does not really belong to her.
Of course, the above is just speculation, and it is better not to say anything unless necessary.
Da, da, da. Outside the door of the tower, there is a spiral staircase that has never been seen before, extending downward. Its walls and passages are made of old blue-gray stone bricks. Every time you go down a step, a spiral staircase on the wall A stray will appear
The fluorite wall lamp with a faint blue light illuminates this windowless staircase corridor even more eerie.
If Sherlock hadn't looked outside twice before the desert disappeared and was convinced that Melina was indeed at the top of the tower, he might have mistakenly thought that this road was heading underground.
"I usually live in the attic and usually don't come down," Melina said as she walked down the spiral staircase: "The work in the mansion is usually handled by the housekeeper and the head maid, and I don't know if they are still there. "
Unless they are sandworms, they should be gone long ago.
"You said that there are no living things in this world?" Sherlock asked another question.
"No," Melina replied: "This is the world that has ended. There will be no birth and no death."
"Really?" Sherlock looked up at the sky, but he only saw the bottom of the spiral staircase.
Although you can't see it, those saved sand worlds should be densely packed on the false sky now.
"Yes," Melina seemed to understand what Sherlock meant: "I can save those worlds, but I can't save my own world."
"..." Sherlock almost slipped and fell.
Isn’t this conjunction wrong?
It’s okay to use “although, but”, “why, because”, or even the slightly outrageous “because, so”. Why is it juxtaposed with “both, and”?
Forget it, I often get points deducted in my literature exams, so I am not qualified to teach others.
If analyzed carefully, although Melina is using "I", she should be talking about "mirror body".
Perhaps it was because her own world was destroyed by disaster that she awakened the ability to save the world, but even if she searched the galaxy, she would never be able to find her original home. As for where the "former junction" is located, I don't know Judging from how far back in time, the "mirror body" should have left the current multiverse long ago. If she can see the vice-principal, she will definitely meet each other very late - this
This is how the word is used.
"Here we are, this is the hall of the mansion." At this time, the spiral staircase had reached the bottom, and Melina easily pushed open a rather thick, iron-lined double wooden door in front of her.
squeak--
Behind the gate is a magnificent and empty hall with exquisite decorations, statues, murals and hangings. However, it has obviously been neglected and has been covered in dust for a long time.
That's of course, after all, the countless sands that buried the entire world have just disappeared.
"Maid maid?" Melina walked to the center of the hall and walked around. After making a circle of small footprints, she called to the empty hall.
Well, if she had called "Butler", maybe I could have answered it, but the head maid...
"[Welcome back, Miss ■■■■■■]."
Sherlock was still thinking wildly, when a disembodied female voice sounded in the hall, and responded to Melina with a name that Sherlock couldn't hear clearly. When he followed the sound, he found that ashes all over the hall were rising one after another, and then like a tornado. They gathered like this, and were reshaped in front of Melina into a man wearing a dark robe, holding a huge scythe, with a pale face and an expression on his face.
Sick women.
You call this look a maid? Don’t underestimate the British!
"Clean the house, ■■■." Melina said to her.
"[Okay, I will clean up the 'dust' immediately.]" The woman who didn't look like a maid replied.
When Sherlock was guessing how she was going to use the scythe to clean the house, he saw her raising the scythe high, and a jet of black flame ignited from the blade, and then... pointed at Sherlock.
The dust is actually myself?
At the same time, Sherlock's eyes suddenly flashed.
A long health bar that he had not seen for a long time but was still very familiar appeared in front of him. At the same time, the name of the head maid also appeared above the health bar:
【The Buried Fried】
Whose maid is called this?
Sherlock was thinking whether this was the "blind fish eating technique" taking effect or the characteristics of the "junction" itself. The "head maid" had already wielded a sickle to kill with the afterimage.
"Melina?" Sherlock dodged three consecutive slashes of the black flame scythe with ease, and then called to Melina.
Although the head maid's attack is not threatening, beating a dog depends on the owner, right?
"Huh?" Melina looked at the crazy maid in confusion, and changed into the tone of reading the manuscript before: "[Becoming murderous under the influence of the 'Evil of the World']? What is that?"
Why are there such things about "subspace evil gods" everywhere?
"Just think she's crazy!" Sherlock once again dodged a series of attacks.
"Oh, just kill her once." Melina replied.
The personnel management in this mansion is really strict.
Sherlock cursed while continuously flashing to distance himself, and then pointed the wand at "Buried Fried": "[Comet Azle!]"
The head maid was unable to dodge, and her long health bar, along with her body and name, were washed away by the green torrent.
"I'm very sorry, miss, and this guest," Fried bowed to the two of them and apologized immediately after reshaping from the ashes: "We were too slack during your absence."
"Yeah." Melina replied nonchalantly.
How can a pile of dust relax... No, wait a minute.
"Did you just say...'we'?" Sherlock looked at the door in the hall leading to the depths of the mansion.
when!
The huge iron door was kicked open, and a giant man whose whole body was wrapped in blazing flames and carrying a brazier with lava flowing out continuously on his shoulders rushed in.
【Father Iredell】
"[Heresy!]" He pointed at Sherlock and shouted. At least this time his behavior was consistent with his identity...probably.
