Chapter 3396 The collapse of the starry sky (twenty-two)
Seeing everyone's exaggerated reactions, Elaine showed a puzzled expression: "Then, why are you so surprised? This is the agreement between Xury and I."
In order to prevent the Sea Witch from being destroyed together with Atlantis, we must first rescue her from that underwater city.
Elaine even thought of a plan. First, use the last elevator that was destroyed to transport it down to the Undersea City, and use an iron ride to approach the building where Lisanna is from the air. Then they climbed through the window and entered the witch's room, and put the
The miko transported the big crystal together with it. Because the crystal was quite heavy, a cavalry was used to transport it. Afterwards, he returned along the road, took the elevator to the surface, and then used a cavalry to transport the crystal to [Leo] and placed Lisanna there.
Inside the battleship.
In this way, Xuri won't have any complaints. What he can't tolerate is for the witch to be destroyed along with Atlantis - so just send the witch away and stay away from Atlantis.
Although Elaine had promised many times that he would not destroy Atlantis, Xury just didn't believe it and insisted on letting Elaine rescue the witch before he cooperated with Elaine. The result was like this.
Forget it. Elaine doesn't want to see Lisanna trapped in Atlantis and destroyed with the city. Even if she is helping her friends.
However, doing so will definitely cause serious problems. Those stalkers will definitely not sit back and watch their miko being kidnapped. This may lead to an all-out war between Elaine and others and the stalkers.
Huo Suo Elaine was not worried about this matter. He even planned to fight the stalkers and cause a massacre - if the existence of the stalkers threatened Bailey.
They dealt with the other two elevators, both of which used Edmund's ice spell to block the elevator room. There was only one elevator left to deal with, and Elaine and others returned to the camp. In short, they drove the iron cavalry over first.
"Tie, the iron cavalry is limited to two people... If you have to carry such a large piece of crystal, I can only sit on it." Elaine said: "Qui, Quig and Bailey stay here. Me, E and I
Demon goes."
After all, Edmund can use kinetic energy magic, which will make it safer to carry the crystal.
"I'll follow you too." Zuoli said, "I can't possibly watch you carry the crystal of the miko and do nothing."
"I've already said that seating is limited to two people..." Elaine rolled her eyes at the boy Hayato.
"I can fly and follow you." Xuli also rolled his eyes at Elaine and conjured a pair of wings from behind.
"You are too, too conspicuous!" Elaine hummed, holding Xury's blue wings. Even if it was night in that underwater city, and even if the stalkers rarely raised their heads to look at the ceiling, Xury was so big and blue.
It is strange that colored objects fly in the sky without being noticed!
"You two ride on the iron cavalry, I will rush over on foot." Edmund said: "I can climb the wall, or jump from the building on the side to the building where the witch is, so that I won't be noticed."
"Back, will it be like this on the way back?"
"When we return, I will stay at the building to help you delay. You can take the opportunity to transport the crystal of the miko-sama away." Zuoli said.
"Who, who knows if you will betray us." Elaine looked at Hayato boy doubtfully: "What if, when we were transporting the crystal, you shouted to attract the guards...?"
"I won't! I really hope you can rescue the miko-sama, why should I hinder you?!" Zuoli said angrily.
"You, I can never believe half of your words." Elaine pouted.
"Ouch..." Zuoli turned his head angrily, obviously not wanting to give in, but when he didn't give in, things turned into a stalemate.
"Brother, come here." Bailey pulled Elaine's clothes.
"What, what's wrong?" Elaine followed Bailey to the side and whispered to the little fox.
A few minutes later, Elaine came back with a bottle filled with dark green liquid.
"Drink, drink this." Elaine handed the bottle to Xuri.
"What's this?"
"It's deadly poison." Elaine then said, picking up the Mercy Sword Mystedin in her hand: "I, the venom I created with Mystedin comes from... some kind of plant. No, no
If you take the antidote, you will be poisoned and die in one day. You, you drink it, and we can talk about cooperation."
"Are you sure there won't be any side effects if you drink this stuff...?"
"If you drink the antidote before sunset tomorrow, there won't be any." Elaine hummed: "No, if you don't have time to drink the antidote, you will die of intestinal rupture."
Zuoli slapped his mouth.
"Very good." He grabbed the poison and drank it all without hesitation.
"...Why is it sweet?"
"Contrary to the bitter taste of good medicine, poison is of course delicious." Bailey said with a smile.
"What a weird theory this is!" Hayato boy complained.
"In short, this way big brother can trust you. Hee hee." The little fox smiled and said: "You guys go quickly, time is running out."
There are still about half an hour left before the "night" in the underwater city ends. Once the night there ends, the air coral pillars will highlight normally, and the actions of Elaine and others will become difficult. Even if there are hidden cavalry,
If the tracking system is protected, transporting such a large piece of crystal is likely to be compromised.
Xury operated the elevator and soon summoned the last elevator from the Undersea City. The stalkers didn't seem to send guards to guard the entrance and exit of the elevator, and such a call did not attract the attention of the group of half-murlocs. Xury even
Find a way to widen the wall of the room that hides the elevator room to allow larger equipment to enter and exit.
Elaine drove the iron cavalry into the elevator room without incident and parked it in the middle of the elevator platform.
"Be safe, big brother." Bailey waved goodbye.
"Okay, okay, we'll go and come back." Elaine replied, riding on the iron horse with Xury, while Edmund stood aside.
The elevator started to move, and it slowly descended into the depths of Atlantis.
After rescuing the sea witch Lisanna, Elaine plans to destroy the elevator (seal it with ice), so that the surface of the earth will be completely free from the harassment of stalkers. Stalkers
It is true that they can still send large troops through the first to fifth floors of the underground maze and attack the surface. But they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties if they do so. The monsters and mechanisms in the maze are not easy to break through. If the stalkers really
If they are stubborn enough to attack the camps on the surface, Elaine can just play with them.
A few minutes later, the elevator arrived at the Undersea City on the sixth underground floor. No one was guarding the elevator exit, and the plan progressed more smoothly than Elaine imagined.
"Really, really, are all these stalkers so defenseless?" the white lion boy wondered.
"The elevator is rarely used." Zuoli replied, "What's more, they thought you were in prison and haven't started to be vigilant yet."
"Anyway, let's go and rescue the witch quickly and let things end here." Edmund transformed into a stalker and walked out of the elevator.
Elaine also activated the cavalry's concealment system, and at the same time raised the cavalry about two feet above the ground, and drove the cavalry out of the elevator room.
The underwater city outside was still at night, and the surroundings were dark. The buildings were quite difficult to distinguish in this darkness, and it was almost impossible to see any difference between them.
"Over there," Zuo Li pointed to the direction of two o'clock, "the building where the miko is located is two hundred yards away, the ten-story building is it."
If Zuoli hadn't been here, it would have been impossible for Elaine to find that building in such a big city.
However, if there was no agreement with Xury, Elaine would not have to go looking for that building.
Edmund took the simple map drawn by Xury and looked in the same direction: "I will rush over on foot and meet you immediately."
"Okay, okay." Elaine replied, and at the same time let the iron cavalry fly to a higher height.
This "night" is very quiet. It is impossible for the stalkers to look up at the ceiling. The higher the iron cavalry flies, the safer it is. What's more, the current iron cavalry is protected by a stealth system. It is impossible for outsiders to see it unless they look very carefully.
Discover the cavalry hidden by a transparent "air bubble".
Of course, Elaine also paid attention to it and only let the cavalry move forward at a slight speed. The flying speed was so slow that Edmund, who was rushing over on foot, might reach the destination earlier than the cavalry.
"Wait, what are you going to do after you rescue the witch?" Elaine asked in a low voice.
"No matter what, I will fulfill my promise and accompany you throughout this journey and take you to the deepest part of Atlantis." Xori replied.
"You, you can stay on the ship with Lady Lisanna." The white lion boy said, "You don't have to follow us to take risks."
"As long as I send Lisanna-sama to a safe place, I have nothing else to ask for." Young Hayato said, "Even if I am not with her, Lisanna-sama will be fine."
He spoke as if he was planning to die heroically...
"But, but, you like her..."
"I like her." Xuri didn't even deny it, "But just because I like her doesn't mean I have to be with her. I...I know I'm not worthy of Lady Lisanna."
"So, you still have self-awareness... Ouch!"
Xury pinched Elaine's back hard.
"I've only lied to you once, so there's no need to target me like this, right?"
"You, you lied to us once and almost killed us!" Elaine said angrily.
"No! It's obvious that the elders didn't intend to kill you, otherwise you would have died long ago! They just plan to imprison you until Atlantis sinks to the bottom of the sea again."
"Well, what then? Take us to [civilization] and make us like you and be their slaves for thousands of years?" Elaine said angrily: "That's no different from death, right?!"
"I don't want to argue with you about this." Xuli groaned.
"No, if I hadn't come to save you, your back would have been pierced by the ice pick!" Elaine said angrily: "And, and I don't want to be treated like you by the elders... ow!"
"Shut up!... It's still here!" Xuri interrupted Elaine's words with a pinch, and pointed to a ten-story building in the distance.
To be honest, at first glance, Elaine could hardly recognize the difference between it and other buildings, and it was even less possible for him to know that the miko-sama was in that building. But Xuri could recognize it, and it was in the air.
This guy must have often sneaked out at night, used his flying ability to conduct numerous reconnaissances in the air, and secretly observed his beloved Sea Witch. He only watched from a distance but never got close. This guy is really cowardly.
(Although Elaine is not qualified to make fun of Xury.)
Elaine let the cavalry land quietly on the roof of the building, maintaining its concealment system, then took out the thickened Luna silicone rope, used the rope to lower it from the roof, and tried to climb in through the window.
"You are here, Lord Brilliance." Lisanna (the clone) seemed to have expected Elaine to come. She said as soon as the white lion boy entered the room.
"I, I'm here to take you away." Elaine said: "I, I don't intend to destroy Atlantis, but just in case, assuming that Atlantis really, really will be destroyed, I I can’t leave you in this dangerous place."
"There is nothing worth protecting here anymore. Whether it is this city or the people of Atlantis, everything has changed." Lisanna said, "But my life is not as valuable as you think. So. , everything is up to you to decide."
Elaine originally thought that Lisanna would be more opposed, but in the end she had this indifferent attitude... interesting.
"Then I will take you away, Lady Lisanna." Elaine nodded and began to tie the big crystal with the Luna silicone rope. Part of the crystal was connected to the ground. He had to carefully knock it open, but It also has to make as little noise as possible, so the processing is a little slow.
"What took you so long?" Edmund seemed to have arrived as well. He climbed in through the window and saw Elaine busy knocking out crystals.
"Let me help too." Edmund put his hand on the edge of the crystal and began to use telekinesis to pry it. He and Elaine handled the crystal at the same time, and soon the part of the crystal close to the ground cracked.
Edmund used telekinesis to lift the entire crystal, while Elaine climbed out of the window, climbed to the top of the building along the rope, and then directed Edmund to move the things out of the window.
"Hurry up, the night is almost over." Zuo Li waited on the roof, looking at the ceiling worriedly. The originally dim air coral gradually became brighter.
"Ah, Edmund...!" Elaine shouted in a low voice.
"Right away!" The blood lion moved the crystal out of the window. Fortunately, the size of the window was just enough for the cut crystal to come in and out. Elaine and Xuri recovered the rope together and pulled the crystal block that sealed the Sea Witch to the roof. As they were doing this After all this, the sky became completely bright.
"Damn it...!" Elaine firmly fixed the crystal on the back seat of the iron horse, and then jumped on the iron horse.
"You go, I'll stay and cover you." Edmund said as he climbed onto the roof and handed the map to Elaine.
"I'll stay too." Xuri said, "Take the miko-sama back quickly. Please don't break the crystal on the way!"
"You, you guys... take care of yourselves!" Elaine frowned, and had no choice but to leave his companions behind and fly off the roof on his cavalry.
His cavalry had only flown about thirty yards when a commotion came from the direction of nine o'clock. It was not the commotion in the building where the miko-sama once was, but the commotion in the prison where Elaine and the others were once imprisoned.
It was probably when the guards were changing shifts that they discovered that Elaine and the others had escaped from prison.
"Finally, has the secret been exposed after all..." Elaine could predict that the city would be under martial law. He didn't know if there would be additional guards at the elevator room. He was a little worried, but the speed of the iron cavalry could not be increased.
The stealth system will easily fail, so you can only fly slowly and patiently.
Although the current situation is very worrying, Elaine knows that it is useless to be anxious.
"Fly in the direction of three o'clock, Lord Kouki." The miko's clone suddenly said.
"Wha, what?"
"The exits such as stairs and elevators will be blocked soon. We can't keep up at this speed." Lisanna said: "Go out through the secret escape hatch. These degraded Atlanteans don't know the existence of that escape hatch."
"Okay, okay." Elaine had no choice but to change his route and follow Lisanna's instructions. He only hoped that Edmund and others could escape smoothly.
