Volume 2 The Castle in the Sky Chapter 26 The Castle with the Tree of Life
The dragon groans through the wind.
Riding on the Flying Winged War Dragon, soaring into the air, passing through the huge branches that emerged from the side of the cliff and the building, Li Ang and the others soon came to the top of this huge mountain peak castle, and landed on a large platform that stretched out and hung in the air.
The platform was flat above, but below it was a naturally occurring rocky formation, surrounded by a variety of plants and trees, and a huge branch passed above the side of the platform, where several griffons and a flock of three-eyed crows were perched among the leaves, their eyes shining brightly.
With the fall of the flying dragon, a group of twenty or thirty armed air thieves hurriedly put down their work and greeted them. In the corner, you can see three simple light assault mechs and several bronze cannons engraved with magical inscriptions.
Rindong: "According to the rules, the dragon knight can only send us here at most, let's go." ”
Jumping off the flying dragon, the "Xingtian Dragon" Rin Winter was in front, the two ninjas were behind, and Li Ang pulled Xiao Ling to walk in the middle, followed by the old yellow dog who was always inseparable from Xiao Ling.
"Uncle and uncle, this castle must be several kilometers high, isn't it? It's so big!" asked Unceremoniously, Suzu asked Rindong, who was walking in front.
"Hehe, little sister, it's not that high, this castle was directly rebuilt from a hill, and we haven't measured it, not counting the tree of life on the top, it's about eight or nine hundred, less than a thousand meters. Rin Dong replied as she walked, her voice quite friendly.
"Wow, the hill has been rebuilt!"
The little girl's eyes widened and she looked left and right, looking "elated".
Rin Dong seemed to be in a good mood as well, and when he heard this, he continued: "Yes, a hill has been turned into a castle, and many palaces have been built in it, which is not the same concept as those castles that are just built on the mountain. ”
"Your name is Rindong? ”
"Yes, I think it's pretty good, it's said that when I was born, my hometown was hit by a snowstorm that hasn't been seen in a century. ”
"Oh, so your family gave you that name, and where is your hometown?" the little girl asked, curiously, as if she had not seen anything at all.
"To the East, my hometown is on the other side of the sea far, far away. ”
"O Dongfang, Shenlong Continent? It is said that Xiao Ling also floated from the far, far east to the east. ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, Rin Dong suddenly stopped and turned to look into the little girl's eyes, "You are also from the East?"
"Hee-hee, I don't know, I was told by my grandfather, who said that I was very young and was wrapped in a big wooden basin and floated from the other side of the sea. ”
"Sitting in a big wooden basin, floating from the other side of the sea, your grandfather really knows how to tell stories. Seeing that Rin Dong suddenly stopped, and heard Xiao Suzu's answer, the "Shadowless Dragon" Iga Shinobu who followed behind said coldly.
"It's not a story, it's true, grandpa never lied to Suzu, right, Sangil?"
"Hmph, they believe it or not, it's a boring topic, let's talk about something else. The old yellow dog Sangil pursed his lips and said with disdain.
"Well, I also believe that maybe you and I are from the same hometown?"
Rin Dong said as he reached out and wanted to pat Xiao Ling's shoulder, but was suddenly blocked by the little guy.
"I'm sorry, ah, just arrived, just arrived in a strange place, Xiao Ling may be a little nervous. Xiao Ling looked at the cold winter who had just been blocked by herself a little nervously, and said timidly.
"Hahahaha, it's okay, it's okay, it's me who scared my little sister too recklessly, I'm really sorry. The boss is probably going crazy, so let's go. ”
"Isn't there an elevator or a magic array that can be teleported in space?" Li Ang, who had not spoken for some reason, suddenly asked.
"Elevator?" Rin Dong paused for a moment, and then replied casually: "There are quite a few teleportation circles, but they often fail, such as today. ”
"Well, it's too much trouble for such a tall castle to rely on two legs up and down. ”
Asking about the elevator and the magic array, Li Ang cared more about the "Tree of Life" in Winter's mouth.
"Fireflies. ”
"I'm here, master. ”
"Raise the alert level, and immediately project this place into the sea of consciousness with a clear path and structure. ”
"Yes, master, activate the high-security plan immediately. The information will be projected into your sea of consciousness after three seconds, and the information will be updated at any time. ”
"You know, hard work. ”
While explaining the "Firefly" task in his heart, he pulled the bell casually and continued to move forward.
Suddenly, a clear girl's voice sounded directly from Li Ang's head, and a wave rolled in the sea of consciousness!
"It's finally here, the one who inherited the dragon slash. ”
"Hey, kid, who are you?" asked Leon in a pretended calm tone.
"From now on, do as Alice says, and you will inherit the treasures of the gods and become the true master of this place. ”
"Treasures of the gods, true masters?"
"Yes, you will become the true master of the city of 'Teian' in the sky after King Arthur, and the heir to the mystical treasures. In Leon's mind, the clear girl's voice continued.
Despite the immaturity of his voice, his tone was firm and confident, and Leon instinctively looked left and right, further raising his vigilance.
"Hmm, what's wrong, Leon?" Finding that Li Ang was holding his right hand and trembling slightly, Xiao Ling hurriedly asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing, it's really big here, and it's like a labyrinth, if no one leads the way for a while, I don't know if we can get out of it ourselves. ”
When Rin Dong heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the target we are going to deal with this time is not you, and we will not embarrass you, maybe the boss wants to pull you into the gang." ”
"Huh, huh?"
Without comment, Leon continued to walk forward with the footsteps of Winter.
The rooms, corridors, and stairs of this castle are all built quite magnificently, as if the former owner of this castle was a very large man, and even the armor and statues displayed in the corridors are one size larger than usual.
Walking through a hall, the walls of the five-colored peaks and the ocean, or soaring in the sky and spitting flames, or setting off a huge whirlpool flying from the sea, or standing on the top of the mountain to roar and roar in a huge way, the giant mural suddenly attracted the attention of Leon and Suzu.
In the midst of the colorful light, the dragon and the waves, as well as the blazing dragon's breath and the bitter cold wind, seem to come to life in this huge mural, and move with the movement of the viewer's gaze.
"Wow, those wyverns seem to be moving, they can't be alive, right?" asked Suzu in surprise and curiosity.
"Of course not, the paint used in this mural contains some special magical element, so the picture is full of three-dimensionality as if it has life. ”
Seeing that Li Ang and Xiaoling had stopped, Rin Dong didn't seem to be in a hurry, and even started to explain, seemingly completely forgetting that there was still a boss waiting for them.
"These five wyverns must have a great future, right?" asked Leon.
"That's right, they are the 'Five Dragons', the legendary guardians of this continent of Europe, the red is the flame dragon Beligas, the white is the ice dragon Radona, the blue is the sea dragon Scarpus, the black dragon Tinip, and the golden dragon Bauer, all of them are full of divinity and have godhead and infinite divine power. ”
"Really?"
"You've also been the leader of a mercenary group, so you haven't even heard of these legends, have you?" Igashinobi's voice on the side always had a hint of heaviness and a bit of coldness.
"Of course I've heard of it, but this is the first time I've seen a portrait. ”
"Huh?" As soon as Li Ang finished speaking, Xiao Ling suddenly glanced at him suspiciously.
"The banquet has been prepared, the fifth and sixth children, hurry up and bring the guests over, remember, it's in the banquet hall where you can see the two universes!"
At this moment, the words of "Tyrannosaurus Rex" Bal suddenly came from the castle.
"Two universes, and such a magical place?"
"Let's go, no matter how late the boss is, he's going to be angry, but even the kittens and dogs won't let go." ”
Ignoring Xiao Ling's question, after speaking, Rin Dong quickened his pace, quickly walked out of the hall with Li Ang and the others, and continued to walk up......
