Volume 2 The Golden Covenant and the Shennuo Dispute Chapter 33 Go to Fengyan City
After a hearty meal last night, Glori and his friends headed south, and then west, to the site of the Broken Wing Bridge that separated the two royal families of Strong and Grace.
Glori gradually looked west from the sandy ground, and below the bridge was a cliff a hundred meters away. He stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the crack like an abyss.
Seeing Glori leaning over to observe, Zoe casually said, "Two thousand years ago, this was where the tributaries of the River of Moonlight passed by. ”
Of course Glori knew, so he shrugged his shoulders. He took another closer look at the bridge.
This bridge is made of chains and has swallowed many lives. And the Old Gods didn't cross it as usual, they used it as a place of trial for the brave—a dangerous place that legend has it that those with complicated minds could not cross.
Now, the chains on the bridge have long been severed, so the teleportation array has become a way to enter and exit the Death Desert.
"How are we going to get through this cliff?" said Glori, kicking the gravel off his feet to test the depths of the cliff. He stared at the falling rubble and saw it disappear. "The wind is so muddy that it swallows everything beneath the cliff. He said.
"Are we going to build a stone teleportation array? But where are we going to find those boulders? We're all sand and gravel under our feet. ”
Dylan looked at the crowd, inexplicably excited, but soon confused - a teleportation circle made of boulders, how long would it take to complete?
Noticing that Dylan's eyes were hazy, Iris accosted. "Oh my God, we can't build a teleportation array. And it's crazy. She shook her head and pulled Dylan's arm.
Faced with their conversation, Zoe had no choice but to explain.
"The Desert of Death, like the Land of Ruins, is cursed by the Order. The difference is that they also use magic to isolate the Desert of Death from the outside world. Of course, this magic has weaknesses. Unfortunately, the teleportation array that can go to the Death Desert is not here—it's a teleportation array built in a specific location. ”
"What if you rely on a teleportation array in the form of a spell? Of course not, even Andrew can't get there by returning to the traveler. Zoe breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zoe was right. A while ago, I went to Fengyan City, and I climbed along the cliff......" Andrew said, but shrugged his shoulders easily.
Hearing Andrew's words, Glori wanted to try what he said.
"Looks like we're just going to have to crawl over...... Actually, it's not too deep, it's just that the wind is too muddy, making this cliff look like an abyss. ”
Glori tried to lean forward, allowing himself to see as much as he could below.
"I'm not against you doing that. Andrew glanced at his companions.
The group nodded, and Glori made up his mind. "It's not a good idea, but it saves us a lot of time. We need to get help from His Highness Lolaika as soon as possible, as the prince is waiting for our rescue. He said.
That's when Joe brings up Christopher's story—she thinks about the guy who can be used as a backrest.
"I don't know what happened to Christopher. It was said that they would meet on the south side of the abandoned city, but he still hasn't appeared. Judy said worriedly.
Brad Furzes sensed that Juy needed to rest, so he touched Briant with his right elbow, leaving Briant alone to support him.
"So Judy is going to be thinking about that shy guy? It's not you. Last night, you single-handedly diverted a large number of skeletons so that we could concentrate on dealing with the giant scorpions. I still remember that scene vividly. ”
Immediately afterward, Brad Furzes sighed again and lowered his head high. "Alas, it's a pity for my brothers. Not a single one survived in the ruined city, seventy-five brethren, and if it hadn't been for Briantra to help you, I would have been lying there and bones. ”
This sigh also made Briant frown.
Briant took out his pipe, took a puff, and exhaled seven star-shaped smoke rings: "I'm not just worried about Christopher, but I miss my seven deceased teammates, who died for the glory of His Royal Highness the Prince, but it makes sense. ”
Sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere of the team, Glori took a deep breath. He was about to persuade, but he noticed the magic fluctuations behind him.
Glori turned around, stared at a twisted dead tree, and said, "Behind the tree, you've been with us for a long time, and now you should be out!"
"Who's—who's there?" Dylan drew his sword as well, looking at where Glori was staring.
"Forget it, you stupid big fat man, blame you for dangling this huge package. We're exposed, get rid of this annoying cover-up magic. ”
The short man pushed Shennuo, who was carrying a huge package. And he himself took a step forward. When he left the deadwood, the invisible magic failed.
"Uh...... We're not the bad guys you think we're like, we're just trying to make a little bit of a fortune. Shennuo, who was carrying a huge package, scratched his head and said.
"I remembered. I remember your voice very well, you were the god at the banquet that day," Judy swayed her petite figure forward, "Who said it wasn't graceful at all?" she drew her short sword from her waist and gestured back and forth.
"No, ma'am. That's a joke, but he's actually a gentleman below. The guy with the package explained. When he saw that Judy was still going this way, he begged. "Please...... Please don't let her lean over with that thing. He added.
Judy stabbed Kaino in the back with a sword, causing a viper to be cut in two. "Next time, you'll have your head cut off like this viper. She whispered in his ear and lifted the viper's head away from his wrap.
The short man took the viper's carcass away from the fat man's body: "Thank you, ma'am. You saved a fool. Heaven really likes to torture us. ”
Suddenly, a transparent figure fell to the ground.
"Ahem, have you forgotten me?" I said, Captain, it's amazing that you forgot me in that place where dead people's bones are staying. Christopher finished speaking, and the invisible magic was gone.
"You should thank us. Halfway through, we met Christopher, who was being chased by the serpent. So, we saved his life by the way. ”
Carrying the wrapped Shennuo, justified. He touched his nose and looked confident. Then, he threw the transparent object he was holding in his arm on the ground - surprisingly, it turned out to be the injured Marin!
Marin had a lot of wounds, but he tried to speak: "Hey, friends. I'm so lucky. I was pushed into the trap by the mechanical guards, but the spikes didn't hit my vital point. ”
Faced with the current situation, Glori had to make another plan. He knew Christopher and Marlin needed to take a break.
"We all need to take a break and then we have to climb off the cliff. Glori said.
When Glori pulls Christopher and Marin up, Dylan chops down a dead log. After that, they sat down together. And Iris walked over.
"I'll take care of the wound. Irrith pulled out the bandages and red leaf potion from her bag. She saw Dylan looking behind her back like a child who had lost her baby.
"Is there a blacksmith shop in Fengyan City, I need a good shield," Dylan touched the empty strap behind his back, a little unaccustomed, "I need a shield, it's more convenient." ”
"With a good shield, you can also protect the people around you. Glori wanted to change the mood and said so. Then, he looked at Iris and then Zoe.
Soon, Zoe understood what Glori meant.
"Like, protect Elris. Zoe laughed.
"Don't worry about this, when you get to Fengyan City, you will get what you want. Except for the Golden Covenant, of course, this has to be planned separately. Andrew turned his gaze from Dylan to Glori, and then rested on Glori's right abdomen.
Andrew's actions reminded Dylan.
"Glori, what the hell is the wound in your right abdomen? Phoenix blood can't heal it. Dylan remembered something he hadn't asked before.
"The injury to my right abdomen was a long time ago. We'd better rest for a while, and we'll have to leave soon. Glori clutched his right abdomen. He lay down on a long piece of dead wood and closed his eyes, not going to say anything about his right abdomen, even to Dylan.
At this moment, a clear shout came from the other side of the cliff: "Is any of you named Andrew Kronos?"
Judy's ears twitched. "Is that the language of the Old God?" she jumped down from the dead tree, "and there was a shout from the other side. ”
"Is Andrew, Firethorn, over there?" the voice came again from across the cliff where his vision was blurred.
"It's down there. Andrew responded.
Discovering that Andrew understands the ancient Shennuo language, Zoe becomes more and more puzzled. Although she and Andrew have known each other in the Revival Corps for a long time, she has no idea about Andrew's background. She also found no account of such a legendary figure in the Introduction to Magic. She knew that this seemingly middle-aged man did not match his actual age.
While Zoe was thinking, Andrew shook Glori awake.
"Glori, the messenger from Fengyan City has come to pick us up. So, we're really lucky. Andrew said.
Glori did lie down for a while, but was still conscious. "Is there any way the messenger can get us through?" he asked.
Although Glori's voice was low, the messenger on the other side could hear it clearly, and spoke it clearly in human language, albeit with some slurring.
"Wait...... Ladies and gentlemen...... Wait a minute, we'...... Will put the telescopic bridge ...... Let it go!" shouted the messenger.
Retractable bridge, that's great, Glori thought. He had never seen such a bridge before—a retractable bridge, which was amazing. But Glori didn't care about that, and he kept his mind set on meeting with Her Highness Lolaika.
In this way, a steel telescopic bridge slowly stretched. Through the muddy wind, the bridge gradually cleared, and then everyone stepped onto this white passage.
It is clear that the bridge has been prepared for a long time. Just as Andrew was about to ask, the messenger had already explained.
"This bridge was made overnight, don't underestimate our ancient gods. Forging is one of the best things we do. ”
The handsome and long-eared Hizer walked to Andrew's right. His accent makes people feel like they've gone back in time, and they feel like they're drinking a sweet drink.
Irrith on Andrew's left was curious and bent down to look at Hirzer on his right. "Can I ask your age?" asked Ireth.
"Of course you can, and you've already asked. I have lived a thousand and thirty years. Heizer replied with a smile.
"Ah, a thousand and thirty years!" said Irris, surprised. It was as if she had seen the legends of mythological tales.
"Actually, there's nothing to surprise you. You should be amazed at the man next to you who is called Firethorn, who is above me. Hizer said, looking at Andrew.
"Heizer, I'm already a forgotten person, and even those scholars are taboo and refuse to write in books. Please don't talk about the past. ”
Andrew reminded Hizer. He was concerned about the injury in Glori's right abdomen, and hoped that His Highness Loreka would find a solution, because there was a worrying wave of magic in Glori's right abdomen.
