Chapter 43: The Mysterious Wall

"Rustle, rustle!"

After Luo Ning regained consciousness, the first thing he heard was a low sound of rustling. He opened his eyes, only to find that it was pitch black, and the cold grit was falling from the top of his head, sliding down his cheeks and onto his chest.

"Yo, little brother Luo Ning is awake!" Suddenly the voice that sounded in the darkness startled Luo Ning. He turned his head to see a vague figure crouching behind him, vaguely Neo from the silhouette.

"Neo, here we are—" Ronin shook his head, trying to remember what had happened not long ago.

"Thanks to that trolls, our Golden Water City is swimming in the Tailug Sandstorm! Hehe, the Wind Weaving Monument is shattered, and the Sandstorm swallows the city! This is really a big scene that has not been seen in hundreds of years. I didn't expect that the treasure left by the Great Magister Gard Wilkin would be shattered by the Abyss Demon Clan one day!"

Luo Ning heard him talk about "sandstorm swallowing the city", and finally remembered what happened before.

After the trolls smashed the Wind Weaving Stone Tablet, the invisible barrier that shrouded Goldwater City suddenly disappeared, and Goldwater City, which had stood on the Bone Plains for hundreds of years, tasted the bitterness of the Tairug Sandstorm for the first time. Endless yellow sand swept through in an instant, swallowing up all the existence in the entire city. In a panic, Neo told them to hide for a few days in the cellar of the tavern near the central square.

But before Luo Ning could run into the house with Lina's master and servant, the wind and sand struck suddenly, blowing him back towards the Wind Weaving Stone. Then Neo was also blown over inexplicably. The base of the Weaving Wind Stone Tablet suddenly sank at this time, revealing a pitch-black hole. As soon as the hole appeared, it released a powerful suction, forming an invisible vortex of airflow, sucking Luo Ning and the two of them into the ground together with the yellow sand.

Luo Ning got up and moved his muscles: "So... Are we right below the Wind Weaving Stone?"

Neo sighed, "Eighty percent of it! Actually... I can't get out anyway, and I can't find any good wine nearby, it's the same everywhere! But when it comes to good wine, I'm a little hungry. Come on, let's go find something to eat to satisfy our hunger!"

As he spoke, Neo took out a candle from his body and lit it with magic.

After a while, the two of them got used to the candlelight and finally began to look at the space they were in.

What catches your eye is an underground tunnel that you don't know when it was built, and where it leads, surrounded by nothing but cracked loess walls and brick and stone floors.

Luo Ning raised his head and found that there were a few thick dead branches on top of the person's head, but it was a pity that the passage where the two fell was blocked by the sandstorm, and the sand on the top of Luo Ning's head fell from this passage!

After seeing the huge stone blocking the middle of the road not far behind him, Neo smiled bitterly: "Okay, it looks like there is no choice, let's go, it's better than waiting here to die!"

Ronin followed Neo and looked back at the big boulder behind him: "I always feel like I should break the stone and go the other way." ”

"Why? You're not afraid to take the only way to this land. It's collapsed too?"

Luo Ning recalled the passage where the pig's feet strayed into the "Secret Road of Light" in a novel: "As far as I know, the last one who did this just went out, and I wanted all the fame, fortune and wealth, and successfully reached the peak of life!"

"It's a pipe dream! I don't dare to write such a script in the theater! If Princess Lena hears it, I'll laugh at you again!" Neo scoffed.

"I'm afraid it's more likely that I'll get over and help her get out of the way!, well, I don't know if they're safe now. And Wendy and Mr. Acro they ......"

"Leave it to fate, at least the princess and they have something to eat!, I remember that there is a lot of wine in the cellar—" Neo said, suddenly at a loss, and only felt that the fate of the two was like a narrow passage illuminated by candlelight, and he could only see the distance in front of him, and he did not know where it would lead.

There was indeed a lot of food and drink in the cellar where Lena and the Magic Bell were hiding, but Neo was wrong: there was only one thing on Lina's mind: to find a way out of here and to find more survivors.

First the demon invasion, and then the sandstorm closed the city! Although it was not Lina's fault for these two things, she still habitually regarded saving more people as the responsibility of the Morrowind royal family! It's a pity that the passage they entered had long been blocked by the wind and sand, and if they wanted to get out, they had to find another way.

Lena pressed her ear to the wall and banged on the wall at the same time, looking for all possibilities: "Magic Bell, we must find a way to get out of here as soon as possible! If they rush to that neighborhood, and the demons don't leave... The consequences will be unimaginable!"

"But Princess, this is clearly just an ordinary cellar, how can there be any other way?" the magic bell persuaded helplessly.

"It's better than waiting to die here!Do you remember what that guy Luo Ning said? Even if there is only one in 10,000 chance, I will definitely do my best! I will never allow myself to wait here for death!!"

The magic bell knew that she had a stubborn temper, so he stopped persuading her, and also started to help her check around. But it didn't take long for the Assassin's keen instincts to cause the Magic Bell to suddenly stand on end and goosebumps on his arms.

"Princess, be careful!"

The magic bell thought that it was the Abyss Demon Clan, and the dragon's spine blood thorn slashed through a demonic blood light, stabbing straight forward with all his might. The matter was urgent, and the magic bell didn't spare any more hands, and a "moon shadow" was used, and the wall around Lena was shattered with a "bang".

A muffled grunt of pain rang out from the other side of the wall, and Lena couldn't see the enemy's face clearly, only to see a severed sword fall to the ground as the magic bell pulled back.

Just as the two of them were about to reorganize the attack, a soft cry full of surprise suddenly came from inside the broken wall: "Wow, this demon cub has good strength...... Huh, not the Abyss Demons?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dirty head poked out from the other side of the wall.

"You are... Huh, you're the fellow alchemist of yesterday?!" spoke a gray-haired warrior with a scar in the corner of his eye.

After some explanation and exchange, Lena and Magic Bell finally figured out the situation.

It turned out that the magic bell stabbed a free mercenary in Jinshui City. After the sudden invasion of the demons, several large mercenary groups saw the heavy losses of the guards, and spontaneously united to resist the demons, and even rebuilt the underground shelter, sheltering thousands of civilians.

At this moment, the Wind Weaving Stone Tablet was shattered by the trolls, and the Tairug Sandstorm swept through the entire Golden Water City in an instant. After the leaders of the regiment combined, they decided to send the dwarven craftsmen of the regiment to dig tunnels around Jinshui City in search of exits, as well as other survivors.

Most of the dwarven craftsmen are protected by the masters of the mercenary group. The warrior who just fought with the magic bell was also one of them, and he accompanied the dwarven craftsmen to dig all the way, saving more than 20 civilians in a row, but he also encountered danger again and again, and was almost cut by the demons hiding in the house.

Seeing that his sword was broken, the warrior did not plan to continue the exploration after consulting with the dwarven craftsman, so he simply accompanied Lena and the others to the underground shelter. As they walked along, Lena suddenly stopped in front of a mottled cyan stone wall.

She pointed to the strange stone wall and asked, "Do any of you know what's behind it?"

The gray-haired warrior shook his head: "I'm a native of Jinshui City, but I've never seen anyone's cellar of this color, and I've never seen stones of this color!"

The dwarven craftsman brushed away the dust on the surface of the wall, leaned on it and sniffed it, then raised his hoe and knocked it twice, shook his head and sighed: "Strange thing! Strange thing! This wall must be eight or nine hundred years old! And this wall seems to contain a great magical element?"

"It's the wind elemental!" Lena continued, "I'll notice it because of the extremely rich wind elemental! and I think that crystalline pale cyan color has something to do with the wind elemental!"

The dwarven craftsman eagerly raised his hoe, paused and then smiled and turned back and asked, "Miss Mage, ......what do you say?" If I cut through this wall, it shouldn't be dangerous, right?"

Lena stroked the wall and shook her head, "I don't know, but I don't recommend you do it." With such a strong wind element, if there is any powerful magic prohibition behind the wall, let alone the four of you, even the people in the shelter below may be in danger!"

Lena's speculation was valid, but there was one thing she didn't expect: on the other side of the wall was not some magical prohibition, but a magnificent relief of mystical patterns. Luo Ning and the two of them, who walked to this palace from the narrow corridor, were standing under the wall, looking up at the mysterious patterns on the wall by the light of the bluestone palace lamp above their heads.
