Originally, Yili was worried that the excuse she made to cover up the magic ring on her hand would cause the silly elder sister Beilu, who knew the truth, to behave unnaturally.
However, Beilu still looked like she had been saved, and held Yili tightly without any strange behavior at all, which made Yili feel relieved a lot.
Although it was said that Yili could secretly take off the ring, she would not do such a thing as lowering her own combat power when the opponent's condition was unclear.
"Item identification..." Then, the old witch Ligulite directly took Yili's left hand, which was equipped with the champion armor, and used the item identification.
This Yili is not happy. She promised to show it to you! But she didn’t promise to give you an appraisal! Didn’t she get exposed after this appraisal?
You must know that Ainz's father's high-level item identification can even identify the performance of indigenous equipment such as the Wise Man's Crown. What if this old witch identifies that this set of champion armor is not equipment that should be in this world?
What should I do? Should I fall out with her directly?
"It's the same as the iron ingot your father gave to Gad before. It can't be identified... It seems that to identify these things, you still need higher-level identification magic." Ligurite shook his head and said, seeing Ligurite
With a look of regret on her face, Yili instantly felt relieved and saved herself the trouble of thinking of another excuse to deceive her.
"Yeah! Can you let me have a look too!" Uncle Ged also got excited and leaned over. Looking at Uncle Gad's expectant look, Yili couldn't refuse him, so she also
I could only nod in agreement.
After being replaced by Uncle Gad, he also observed carefully for a long time, and even asked Yili if he could scratch it with a knife. What else could Yili say, let him do it, anyway, the champion armor is always fatal.
Not even a sickle can make a scratch.
So after getting Yili's consent, Uncle Gad took out his knife and made a few cuts on Yili's gauntlet. Yili could feel it. The first two cuts were very light, and the subsequent ones became heavier and heavier.
.
Naturally...the champion's armor didn't have any scratches at all, it was just as good as new. This made Uncle Gad extremely happy. This time he didn't even ask Yi Li's opinion, he just took out an iron ingot and used it.
The edge of the iron ingot rubbed against Yi Li's gauntlet, but there was still no scratch at all.
"This...this...this is harder than this iron ingot. I wonder how resistant it is to magic? Can you use magic to attack it?" Uncle Gad made another request.
Naturally, Yili would not satisfy his request this time, but silently glared at the dwarf uncle with a disgusting face.
"Okay, Gad. Besides, you don't know magic. Do you want me to use magic to attack your descendants? I won't do this kind of thing. Besides, my magic can't even be used with the iron in your hands."
The ingot can't even damage it at all, let alone a higher-level armor." Ligurite also noticed the unhappy look on Yili's face, and spoke out helplessly to stop the dwarf uncle from going berserk.
After Uncle Gad apologized to Yi Li, the group began to walk forward for a while. This time, with the protection of Yi Li's ice aura, the speed was much faster than before.
However, Yili's mood was a little subtle. Originally, only Beilu was sticking closely to Yili. Later, Ligurite, who was walking in the front, also subconsciously slowed down and got closer to Yili... In the end,
Even Uncle Gad deliberately ran to Yi Li's side.
Logically speaking, the temperature within a certain range when using the ice aura should be the same, right? Why are you so close to me? Do you think you are a walking air conditioner?
However, this situation did not last long. After a while, Ligulit asked Yili to turn off her magic because she was in a different place.
The next step is to pass through the barrier of Sky City, so it's best not to use magic. That's what he said, but in front of Yili's eyes was an endless desert, and there was no sign of where he was going.
It is said to be a city in the sky. It should be floating in the air, right? However, there is not even a big rock in this desert. Where can the city in the sky come from? Or is it hidden by the barrier Ligurite said?
?
Now that the barrier was mentioned, Yili deliberately turned on the sensing, and sure enough, there was something in front of her, although she didn't know what it was, because what Yili sensed was nothing, just like a blocked space.
There is a large area in front that cannot sense anything. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to sense nothing. It is like there is a large blank area in this desert. This is obviously telling others that this area
There is definitely a problem in the area, come and take a look.
After turning off the ice aura, Ligulite continued to lead everyone forward. After walking a few steps, Ligurite stopped again. Facing the area with nothing in front of her, she muttered something.
Li's super keen hearing naturally heard it.
"Ligulit, who visited me once before, is here to visit again... please allow me to pass." This is what Ligulit muttered in a low voice. After saying this, Ligulit stretched out her hand towards the air wall-like structure in front of her.
When they reached the boundary, they saw Ligurite's extending hand disappear, so Ligurite turned back to Yili and nodded to indicate that they could go in together.
It seems that this barrier is quite advanced. If you walk directly there without permission, you will probably go directly through this vacuum area. Anyway, it is easy to lose your sense of direction in the desert. It is normal to suddenly lose a distance.
No one will notice it. If you get permission, you can pass through the air wall directly.
After that, the group of people followed Ligurite through the air wall. It was clear that there was an endless desert in front of them, but after passing through the air wall, the true form of Sky City was truly revealed.
Although Yili has seen a lot of big events, has been to several countries, and has stayed or been a guest in other people's royal palaces, she was still shocked by the sight before her.
Isn't this King of Eight Desires really good at playing? It's said that it's a sky city. The city in front of you is indeed floating in mid-air, but it's not too high. The reason is that the sky city in front of you is floating in a very deep basin.
above.
Moreover, there is a large oasis below the basin. Although the surrounding environment is still a desert, the large area behind the basin is a green scene, and there are also lakes. Sky City floats directly on the lake, and from
There are several waterfalls surrounding Sky City that flow directly into the lake below, which looks extremely spectacular.
After entering the barrier, the previous stuffy feeling was completely gone. I no longer felt that I was in the desert, and I no longer had to act as an air conditioner.
But what? How to get up there? Could it be that the road to Sky City is on the other side of the city? It has to go in a long circle? Isn’t this too funny? This is done deliberately to show off Sky City.
Of?
"This is really... surprising." Although she was a little unhappy about this, looking at the expressions of Uncle Gad and Beilu who were shocked and speechless, Yili still felt that she should also reveal a little bit.
It's better to look frightened. If you are too calm, Ligurite may doubt herself again.
"When I first came here, I was just like you. I was frightened by the sight in front of me, but it will be even more shocking after a while." Ligulite said with a smile, and then walked in front again.
I thought that Ligulit would take Yili and the others in a circle around the outside of Sky City to the back, but Ligulit did not take a detour, but went straight between two very obvious big trees.
Although there is a basin in front of you, you will fall if you go further. Although other places under the basin are slopes that are not too steep, the place between these two big trees is vertically downward. It seems to be intentional.
Designed like this.
And between the two big trees, Yili looked towards Sky City and saw a building similar to a city gate directly opposite, but... where was the bridge? Where was the road? There was nothing in front of her.
After that, Ligurite made Yili understand the more amazing thing she just said, and she saw Ligurite walking over without hesitation.
Before Beilu and Uncle Gade could call out to Ligurite, Ligurite had already stepped on it, and then they saw Ligurite standing in the air on the cliff. She turned around and asked Yi
Li and the others followed.
This King of Eight Desires is really naughty enough. He actually made a transparent bridge. If he hadn't known this in advance, who would have been able to find the way up! How did the Thirteen Heroes find the way up back then?
With Ligurite leading the way, Yili walked onto the transparent bridge without any problem. Then Beilu came again, holding Yili's arm tightly and crossing with her eyes closed.
Although the dwarf uncle Ged didn't show any fear, judging from the way he walked cautiously, he was also a little guilty.
After all, this is very different from riding a dragon. As soon as you lower your head, you can see the scenery under your feet. The key is that it is quite high. If someone like Beilu, who is afraid of heights, is allowed to walk by herself, she will probably have to cross it on her stomach.
Yi Li didn't feel anything special. If it were her former self, even though that self didn't have a fear of heights, judging from her courage at that time, it would probably be difficult to cross this transparent bridge by herself.
.
Now that I have obtained this new body, have I gained courage? I’m afraid so!
After all, I am no longer a normal human being. In the past, I would be a little disgusted when I saw bloody scenes in games or movies and TV shows. Now I am completely indifferent to such things.
Even the part of the bloodline of my true ancestor will be more happy under the influence of this situation. After all, I am no longer a human being!
After all...human beings' abilities have their limits. I learned one thing from my previous short life. Being a weak human will only lead to being bullied...unless I can surpass humans...so I don't want to be a human anymore! JOJO!!
Uh... Okay, enough jokes, let's focus on what is in front of us first, because Yili's extraordinary eyesight has already seen that it is on the other side of the transparent bridge, which is the main entrance of Sky City.
There were already two knights in silver heavy armor waiting. Although Yili had seen their presence from the beginning, she had just stepped onto the bridge because the distance was indeed too far. She thought those two knights were there.
The huge heavy-armored knight was a decoration or something, but when I got closer, I realized that it was not a decoration. It might be the guard of Sky City that Ligurite mentioned. It was an NPC, right?
It can be seen that there is also a person among the Eight Desire Kings who is good at playing. This heavy armored knight is quite handsome. The two knights themselves are very huge, and they feel even taller than ordinary ogres.
, and he was wearing armor that looked very heavy, and he was holding a long-handled halberd and a large shield in his hands, which always gave Yili the illusion that the ground would shake if this guy walked.
As for how Yi Li judged that these two were guards, it was because of the red eyes hidden under the armor. You could see the red light under the full-coverage helmet from a distance.
It would be great if my own death knight could be so handsome.
Sure enough, when Ligurite walked in front of the two heavily armored knights, Ligurite stopped and bowed her head to salute them.
Standing in front of these two heavily armored knights, Yili could only raise her head and look at them, although Ligurite stood in front and saluted the two heavily armored knights, and expressed her intentions in good faith.
However, the red eyes of these two heavily armored knights were always on Yi Li, completely ignoring Li Gulit. Yi Li also noticed this. After Yi Li walked into their sight, the attention of these two
The power is always within yourself.
This made Yi Li feel very uncomfortable, and she didn't dare to do anything else. She was wearing the ring that hid her attributes, so it shouldn't be possible for them to see through it, right?
Or are these two armored knights so cool that they can ignore the intelligence ring Ainz's father gave them?
"The reason for our visit this time is actually..." Ligulite also noticed that the attention of the two knights was actually behind her, so Ligurite looked back and did not notice that the three people behind her were there.
Any abnormalities.
"These three are my companions this time. We are here this time..." This time Ligurite still couldn't finish her words.
The two heavily armored knights in front of them slammed their long-handled halberds on the ground, and then the huge shield also hit the ground, making a loud sound. As expected, just as Yi Li had thought before, the ground shook.
Already.
But what is the purpose of this strange move? Is it a fight? Yili became nervous instantly. These two people didn't look like they were good friends. She couldn't feel their murderous aura or malice at all.
, this kind of enemy is the most terrifying.
But the fight started like this? I haven't done anything out of the ordinary, right? Or is it that I am an outlier and an unforgivable existence in the eyes of these NPCs under the Eight Desire Kings?
Isn't it? At this time, Yili was not thinking about how to fight them, but how to escape. After all, those two people had been staring at her from the beginning, and they were obviously coming for her.
And now I have absolutely no information about these two knights. No one knows what their strength is. If they are really full-level NPCs, it will not be easy to crush myself to death, so hurry up and run away in ripples!
Yi Li decided to find a way to escape. However, the next actions of the two armored knights were a bit intriguing...
