Chapter 245 Aliens(1/2)
"Did the Rials build this place?"
Colin was surprised. He didn't expect that this legendary race that was transformed from the soil around the ancient tree of life could be so powerful!
Now that I think about it, maybe the exquisite steps that I walked along were also built by the Rials.
"Yes, almost all the buildings where high elves are located were built by Lial." Lilian replied.
She looked at the forest of stone pillars in front of her, feeling a little confused for a moment, not knowing how to proceed next.
The space in the mountain is neither small nor regular. Not only can you not see the bottom at a glance, but these tall stone trees are also standing tall...
"Search along one by one, Senior Sister Lillian...see if you can find any trace of that group of people, or if you can find anything useful to the mentor." Colin suggested.
"That's all we can do." Lilian was silent for a moment, nodded, and took the lead towards the nearest stone tree.
The closer you get to the stone tree, the more you can feel its majesty. Those buildings on the branches that look inconspicuous from a distance, but now when you look up under the tree, they are all astonishingly huge, making people worry about whether they will suddenly fall down...
The feeling of oppression is astonishing.
From the outside, about one-third of the lowermost part of the stone tree has no trace of any building or any entrance. It simply imitates the appearance of the trunk of the tree.
The two of them circled around the tree trunk below, found the lowest stone door on the trunk on the right side, and then flew towards it side by side.
There are no stairs leading to the top under the stone tree. Flying is a natural instinct for high elves.
Before coming to Shimen, there is a landing platform, which may be designed in the shape of a prominent tree knot for the sake of beauty.
The Shimen looks small from a distance, but looks very tall up close. It is a double door nearly four meters high, with simple yet graceful tree-shaped patterns carved on it.
"Um?"
At this time, Colin looked at the stone door in front of him and suddenly frowned slightly in his heart.
For some reason, there is a gap in the stone door at this moment, just like the door when you came in...
The vague premonition in his heart made Colin subconsciously activate his super brain and carefully recall the door he entered through just now.
The next second, he carefully observed the stone door in front of him, and at the same time used the three detection abilities!
Swish.
A faint wave of witchcraft flashed through.
"What's wrong..." Lilian asked subconsciously. If she hadn't been by her side, it would have been almost impossible to detect that Colin had performed witchcraft.
She keenly noticed that Colin had limited the range of detecting witchcraft to a very small area, only covering a small part of the stone door.
Then she looked towards the place where Colin performed his witchcraft.
The next second, after seeing clearly, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
There is a clear trace of damage at the door bolt of the stone door, which was obviously caused recently. The fracture is incompatible with the simple and matte stone door panel.
The mountains have not yet been polluted, the buildings are basically intact, and the stone gates and the defenses above are also functioning normally... This is obviously a trace of violent break-in left by someone who wanted to get in!
"I'm afraid that group of people really came here as they had guessed before." Colin said in a deep voice.
"Let's go in and take a look first." Lilian took a deep breath and cautiously opened the stone door.
Whoosh!
Colin attached silence to the stone door in time.
Lilian paused slightly, looked back at him, and said softly: "I was negligent. There is a possibility that the group is still in this stone tree."
Colin waved his hand, took a breath, and prepared for battle.
Although they seem to be arrogant along the way, they are always maintaining the two witchcrafts of concealment, moon veil and silence to cover themselves.
So if there are no accidents, their traces have not been exposed yet.
After entering the door, it is not dark, but a golden-green circular corridor.
Gorgeous and elegant wooden or metal ornaments, and elegant and exquisite decorative patterns can be seen everywhere.
The most valuable thing is that the entire corridor has been treated with imitation wood, making it look like you are not among cold stone pillars, but like real trees.
Seeing this, Colin inexplicably recalled the tree cave forest of the tree elves...it was also so gorgeous, but in comparison, the tree cave of the tree elves had a more natural and simple feel.
Bright white light shone down from the top of the head, illuminating everything at a glance, but it could not reveal the figures of Colin and the two of them.
"Let's go, this is the lowest level, let's search upwards layer by layer." Lilian said.
Although there are no stairs outside the stone tree, through the small window of the circular corridor in front of you, you can see at a glance a light green spiral staircase winding up in the center of the stone tree.
The two walked cautiously along the circular corridor for a while, and then encountered the first branch on the right. Judging from its position, it should lead to the lowest and largest branch they had seen outside.
However... what surprised Colin and the two of them was that the door leading to the branch was not opened.
"Continue to search the entire stone tree first, and then come back and open the door to explore this place?" Colin asked.
"Yeah." Lilian nodded in agreement, and then said: "This place is more... complete than I imagined. Many things have been left behind, and it is not like the place where I walked before.
The sight of empty buildings.”
Colin nodded, he also noticed this.
Along the way along the circular corridor, although there are some signs of fragmentation, basically all the decorations have been preserved. Although it is not a valuable thing, compared with the empty scene seen in the tree elf's residence before, it is still somewhat
Big difference.
"I don't know why..." Colin subconsciously asked.
"Maybe I'm just used to extravagance and waste, or maybe I don't appreciate the results of Lial's labor... Who knows." Lilian didn't take it to heart and continued to walk forward.
In this way, the two of them explored each level, checking every place where the door was opened...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But until we reached the top floor and the blue sky outside the window was within reach, we still could not find any other figures... or even more traces
Couldn't find it either.
It was as if a ghost had broken in, leaving only slight traces at the door, and then quietly dissipated like a gust of wind, without knowing where it went.
The two of them stood on the observation deck on the top floor, which had an excellent view.
The multifunctional array blocks out the biting cold wind at high altitudes, allowing only a little breeze for ventilation.
Lilian was still observing the lookout carefully.
Although the magic circle here isolates the strong wind, it does not isolate the elves from entering and exiting... If the group of people entered and then left here, they might leave some traces here.
But after a while, Lilian, who couldn't find any traces, finally stopped moving. She pursed her lips and looked outside.
The view from the lookout was extremely broad, and it included countless rocks and trees... It was impossible to tell where the group of people had gone.
And exploring all the stone trees one by one... This previous idea, now it seems, is really ineffective.
The breeze blew Lillian's hair up, revealing her somewhat pale cheeks.
Although his thin body was still tall and straight, Colin always felt as if there was invisible pressure hanging on Lilian's shoulders all the time.
"Senior Lillian, I haven't asked you yet how the instructor Atbold's illness is."
After a moment of silence, Colin slowly spoke.
"It's an injury." Lillian corrected, then took a deep breath, withdrew her gaze, turned to Colin and continued: "Go down and explore the unopened rooms."
"Yeah." Colin nodded and followed Lillian's pace.
"Atbald is my grandfather." Lillian said as she walked.
She did not answer Colin's question directly, but organized her words and began to tell a story.
"As you know, I have the blood of a high elf, and my mother is indeed a genuine high elf.
But maybe you don’t know that, like me, my grandfather Atbald also has the blood of high elves...but only one-quarter."
'Teacher Rudolf actually also has the blood of high elves! Then Lilian's father, Atbald's elders... don't they all have the blood of high elves? Such a high ratio...' Colin paused for a moment.
, a little surprised.
"The Rudolph family was a well-known mixed-race family hundreds of years ago. At that time, the alliance formed by the high elves and wizards achieved a brilliant victory, and the relationship between the two families was inseparable. A family like ours is just the right thing to do.
It is the best proof of the friendly relations between the two races at that time."
Lilian added, then she changed the topic and sighed:
"But later, although the relationship between the elves and wizards still maintained a good relationship, as the high elves gradually disappeared, those of us who were born with the blood talents of high elves and could practice wizards naturally aroused jealousy
.”
"This kind of jealousy is hidden. It may be just a mocking sentence when we meet, or it may be a secret curse. Of course, the most fatal thing is that it is engraved in the bones of some families or members of the Wizards Alliance to purely
The ancient custom of respecting blood.
Those old antiques with stinky skins not only repel ordinary mixed-blood wizards, but also aliens like us... Nowadays, there are only a few mixed-blood families like ours, whether they are dragon mixed-bloods... or
We are half-blooded elves."
Lilian said this, her tone suddenly became a little sarcastic.
"Unfortunately, after being verified by a certain wizard who did not leave his name, the so-called noble pure blood and the so-called talent for cultivating magic energy have been proven to exist in every human race. It is just a matter of quantity!"
"And then ordinary people became more and more important. Supreme... I'm sorry."
