Chapter 360 The Sky Blue Castle on the Floating Island
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.
This scene, which seems to be frozen in time, is indeed very shocking.
Among these frightened winged statues with different shapes, most of them are warriors wearing leather armor or robes, with different weapons in their hands, and a few are ordinary people wearing robes. resident.
Since they are already in a mottled petrified state, the color of the clothing on these stone statues cannot be identified, and the weapons in their hands and the armor on their bodies have already turned into stone. Some stone statues scattered on the ground still landed directly in flying postures. stiff look.
After observing carefully, Lei Xiao noticed.
Perhaps because the caster's magic is too powerful, these statues appear to be extremely hard, with almost no damage.
Not far in front of him, there was a stone statue of the Winged Human Race that was still in flight. It even smashed the edge of a fountain pool, but it was still intact.
Looking at the shocking scene in front of him, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, turned around again, and asked the muscular priest next to him: "Ye Cang, how long have these Winged Humans been petrified? Is there a more accurate estimate? Time? ”
"Sir, according to my subordinate's analysis, 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. ”
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, and felt it carefully, while responding: "Of course, perhaps it is more appropriate to call it destruction, because the winged people here are actually equivalent to Dead.”
"Is it that unknown blank era again?"
Lei Xiao had an expected expression and began to ponder again.
So far, this is the second time that I have set foot in the alien city that was destroyed in the blank era.
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.
"In the blank era, all races in this world encountered some extremely terrifying enemies."
Lei Xiao couldn't help but take a deep breath again and continue to think.
"Coupled with what Wang Xi mentioned, the gods no longer favored them, and the disappearance of the chosen son of the gods...could it be said that a war between the gods and all races really took place at that time?"
"But just like what I thought before, if the truth is true, then it is obvious that the gods won the war in the end. They should alert all races and let all races remember the lesson of this time. It is impossible to Deliberately letting all races forget, and then that strange blank era appeared.”
"Therefore, there must be more unknown secrets hidden in that mysterious blank era."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly and brought his thoughts back to the group of winged humans in front of him who had already been petrified.
After pondering again for a moment, Lei Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked the muscular priest wearing a black priest robe beside him: "Ye Cang, there is still a very weak breath of life left in these winged humans. As far as I know , petrification magic should be purified, so is it possible for these winged humans to be purified and return to normal? ”
Lei Xiao understood clearly in his heart.
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."
Ye Cang first bowed gracefully, then 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 petrification magic added to the target, and the other is the time when the target is petrified."
Taking a deep breath, Ye Cang continued: "Judging from the current situation, first of all, the petrification magic on these winged humans is obviously very advanced, far beyond the level that my subordinates can distinguish. It is difficult to judge the specific "
"And 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, they are already extremely weak. Therefore, at least at this stage, we cannot help these people no matter what. "Purified by the Winged Human Race"
After saying that, Ye Cang shook his head helplessly.
"I understand, at least there is hope for the future."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and did not dwell too much on this matter.
If you want to successfully achieve this, the only thing you can do is to continue to accumulate strength.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao first waved his hand, motioning for everyone to come closer to him, and then concluded: "The conclusion that can be drawn at present is that in the blank era three thousand years ago, the Winged Human Race in this barrier area obviously suffered An extremely powerful enemy has arrived.”
"Moreover, because the enemy appeared so suddenly, the golem puppet guardians at the entrance to the Nexus were not alerted."
"To sum up, it cannot be ruled out that there are a large number of golem puppet guardians of the winged people in other areas here, and they are still in a normal state."
Nodding to the subordinates who were approaching, Lei Xiao continued: "So, 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, You can leave it until the end.”
"As you command! My lord."
Everyone, including Carol, cheered up, and then under Lei Xiao's command, they began to search separately for the teleportation magic array in the floating square.
……
At the same time, somewhere in the barrier area.
I saw an island suspended in mid-air, covered with towering ancient trees and various strange fluorescent flowers and plants.
In the center of 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 sunlight, the lake surface sparkles everywhere, reflecting the colorful brilliance of the rainbow. .
In the middle 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.
But if you look carefully, you can see that the metal suspension bridge at the entrance of the sky-blue castle has been hung high by dark iron chains, and a heavy black metal gate has also fallen at the entrance.
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 that these soldiers all had nervous and solemn expressions, and the floating moon emblem on their silver-white armor shone brightly in the sun.
Moreover, it can be clearly seen that the city walls and the soldiers' armors are covered with patches of blood that have not yet dried up. Even the battlements and part of the city walls have many broken gaps.
There was a moist smell of blood in the air, which obviously indicated that a fierce battle had occurred here not long ago.
The screen jumped, and inside the heavily guarded castle, there was even more chaos.
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 and a carefully trimmed O-shaped beard, exuding the aura of an elegant gentleman. He is wearing a set of dark blue robes.
The most eye-catching thing is the middle-aged man's 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 identifiable. It was Faxia who had lost contact with Lei Xiao.
Behind Faxia, there is a slender woman with braided braids and a black and white maid uniform. Her fair cheeks reveal a capable temperament. She is naturally Lei Xiao's subordinate. Another strong man, Ah Bing.
At the bottom of the hall, there are three gray-haired old men standing.
These three old men are all wearing light blue robes. They look strong and strong, and they have a sense of being strong with age.
The six people in the hall all exuded a good momentum.
But on his face, he still had the awe-inspiring look of a powerful enemy, making the air filled with a thick atmosphere of tension.
"Great Elder, how is the situation in the castle now?"
The middle-aged man sitting at the top took a deep breath, then frowned and asked.
This middle-aged man is Faxia's father, the current lord of Shuiyue City.
"Returning to the city lord, the dozen or so tourists stranded in the castle have all been settled as soon as possible. At present, they don't know what happened, so there is no need to worry too much."
The old man in blue robe who was leading the position bowed slightly and responded: "As for the other family members living in the castle, except for those with combat capabilities, they have been prohibited from leaving their respective rooms, as are the servants and other staff."
After a pause, the old man in blue robe added: "Please rest assured, City Lord, although everyone is very panicked and uneasy, there is 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 couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
You know, the chief elder of the family council of elders has always been her father's sworn enemy, and he has 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 that.
This former rival not only came to greet him immediately, but also showed a smile that he had never seen before. It was completely different from the previous indifference and fierceness.
By asking his father, Fasha found out.
Some time ago, when the lord, in her name, transported a full 2 million golden dragons, equivalent to the entire city's total profits for more than ten years, to Shuiyue City.
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 City Lord's father, who straightened up instantly, was ecstatic, but of course he was skeptical about this, thinking that it was another conspiracy of the Great Elder's group.
But not long after, the Great Elder and his group took the initiative to return all the power they had firmly held in their hands to Faxia's father.
Especially the city's garrison commander and city financial officer, two extremely important positions.
At this point, Faxia's father, who had regained full 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 a series of performances by the Great Elders.
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!
At the bottom of the hall, while saluting respectfully, a look of helplessness appeared on the elder's old face.
The current inexplicable situation, if it had been in the past, they would have been the first to criticize Faxia's father.
However, the current situation is different from the past.
Behind Faxia, this girl, stands a big shot who can produce 2 million gold dragons at once!
As the saying goes, those who understand current affairs are heroes, and going against such a powerful figure is simply seeking death.
These old guys, who are hundreds of years old in total, naturally understand this better than anyone else, and that's why they made the decision to hand over their power.
Otherwise, once the other party strikes first, the consequences will undoubtedly be unpredictable.
What makes the Great Elder even more frightened is that after Faxia and his personal maid A Bing came back, their strength 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?
And this miracle of cultivation happened exactly after Faxia took back 2 million golden dragons...
To say that this point has nothing to do with that big shot, I would not believe it even if I beat him to death.
From this, it is not difficult to see that this big man is obviously much more terrifying than they imagined.
Thinking of this, the Great Elder was throbbing in his heart.
Apart from being glad that my decision to give up power was the most correct choice in my life, I naturally had no other thoughts in my heart.
"Very good. Please continue to tell me that all the guards and clansmen at the second level and above in the castle must maintain the highest level of vigilance at all times."
Faxia's father, the city lord, looked solemn and immediately gave instructions.
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. (End of chapter)
