Chapter Twenty-Four: The Kiss of Sarana and the Ruins of Alcaia
Before I knew it, a few more days later, thanks to the efforts of the villagers of Tasim Village, the wheat and grapes outside the village had been harvested, and after being dried, they were all stored in the mill at the foot of the mountain of the lord's mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The overall layout of Tasim Village has been mentioned before, it is built on the mountain, the mountain is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, forming a natural barrier, and in addition to the lord's mansion, the village cemetery, the village shrine dedicated to the Eight Holy Spirits, and the village's arsenal are all built on the mountain.
Because the weather is getting colder, Reina and the sky should also wear thicker clothes when exploring, which causes the inconvenience of carrying luggage, and Bai Ze, who is spiritual, readily accepted the request of the sky, and traveled with Reina and the sky, playing the role of a weight - of course, according to the convention, Reina still can't get close to Bai Ze, which creates an embarrassing situation where he has a mount but can't ride.
"Hmm...... According to the records of the village, there was indeed a ruin of the ancient kingdom of Arcaia here. Reina walked behind the sky with the map, this is a barren plain, the cold wind of late autumn is constantly whistling, making it very difficult for people to move forward, but because of Bai Ze's burden, the two of them have traveled all the way south, and they have walked a long way, and they are already somewhat close to the northern suburbs of Yangyan City, which is in charge of Nia's father.
"Although there is a record of an unprecedented flood here, some of the fragments can still be found. Did you find anything there? ”
"Hmm...... Except for Bai Ze...... Nothing out of the ordinary. ”
Reina withstood the cold wind, pulled his cloak and raised his head, only to see that Bai Ze had been resisting the traction of the sky, as if he wanted to leave here.
"Hmm...... These phantom beasts are all spiritual, and since Bai Ze will be like this, then we should not be too far from our destination. ”
"That'...... So what is Bai Ze going to do? ”
Reina put away the map, staggered to the firmament against the cold wind, and helped her grab the bridle, "Then let it stay here for now, and then come back when we're done exploring......"
Bai Ze suddenly let out a sharp hiss, repeatedly struggling to escape from Reina and the firmament, and the feet of Reina and the firmament gradually loosened.
"Hmm...... It's ......"
Without warning, the earth, which should have been thick, seemed to suddenly collapse from the inside, cracking a crack, just engulfing Reina and his party.
"The rest of the flesh and blood...... No matter how hard you struggle, you will never escape your fate......"
Under the pressure of weightlessness, Reiner once again heard the old voice of his previous nightmare, followed by the blurring of his vision and the darkening of his surroundings.
"His Highness Reina!"
Just as Reyna was about to lose consciousness, the sky grabbed Reina's hand again, and her other hand held the Sky Sword, plunging it into the rock wall of the rift, and the broad-bladed sword was embedded in the soft rock wall and slid down again and again, finally stopping the trend of the two of them falling, and the sky and Reina hung on the rift wall like this.
"Hmm...... What about Bai Ze? Reyna quickly came back to his senses.
There was a faint hissing sound beneath Reyna and the firmament.
It was the sound of Bai Ze, and it fell directly to the bottom of the rift, but because it also slid down the rock wall, it should not be life-threatening.
"Now, the sky...... Listen to me, my armor has attached a low-level rune of the wind system to you, and if you pull out the Sky Sword, it will automatically release wind magic to create a buffer even if it falls. ”
"Hmm......" A little bead of sweat oozed from the temples of the firmament, she obeyed Reina's instructions, and slowly pulled out the firmament sword from the rock wall, and the two of them held hands and slowly fell from the air, but as Reina said, the armor of the firmament bloomed with a green shimmer, and the firmament only felt that there seemed to be a stream of air under his feet that slowly supported him, and the two of them slowly fell to the ground.
Reaching the ground, the sky hurriedly stepped forward to check Bai Ze's injury, it was lying on its side on the ground, its smooth and white hooves were red and swollen from climbing the rock wall, and there was a large obvious bruise on the joint of the right front hoof, which seemed to be very badly sprained, and the spiral horns that originally emitted a faint glimmer were also eclipsed.
"Bai Ze...... I'm sorry! It's all our reason...... That's why you're so badly injured. The sky gently caressed Bai Ze's injured part, and it only closed its eyes and gasped slightly.
The rock walls at the bottom of the rift valley are granite-like hardness, which is not only difficult to pry, but also very wet, which means that it is impossible to climb up, let alone ...... Bai Ze is still here.
Reina walked over to the firmament and slowly crouched down, checking on Bai Ze's injuries with the firmament.
"If you have to act on its own, it will definitely not work." Reina rummaged through the backpack that Bai Ze was carrying, and the backpack was scattered in the process of falling, and many of the materials he had worked so hard to collect could not be found.
"Hmm...... Fortunately, there are materials that can reconcile wounds. Reina crumpled some of the green herbs in his bag, and a red magic mark appeared from the palm of his left hand, and began to cast a blending magic. Gradually, the herbs that had been crumpled together began to bond together and turn into a monolithic green patch.
Reina attached a patch to his left hand and applied it to the joint of Shirasawa's forehooves.
"In this case, it should be able to relieve Bai Ze's pain a little......
And at the moment when Reina's palm touched Bai Ze, Bai Ze screamed out instinctively, it seemed that he was still very resistant to letting the man touch it...... Huh?
Bai Ze's body changed suddenly, and the faint light that originally only emitted on the spiral sharp corners suddenly attached to his whole body at this moment, making the entire body shine, and this light became brighter and brighter as time passed.
Reina and the Sky couldn't help but widen their eyes.
I saw that Bai Ze's figure was constantly shrinking under the cover of bright light...... In the end, he turned into a human form!
"It's ......"
Bai Ze's body was transformed into a naked little girl, her eyes were tightly closed, she looked about the same age as Funa, and her whole body was covered with wounds similar to Bai Ze's injured parts, and the green patch that Reina was wearing was now glued to her right elbow, wrapping her entire elbow.
Bai Ze's light blue mane is like the long light blue hair that has become a little girl, although it looks a little messy, but it makes people want to touch it.
And the most different thing about this little girl from ordinary little girls...... That is, on her forehead, there was a small sharp horn, although it was not as long as Bai Ze, but it was also raised by several centimeters.
"This, this, this ......"
"This should be Bai Ze...... Firmament. Although he was as surprised as the sky, Reina's eyes were already full of delicacy and excitement, "In the legends about unicorns, there is a type of unicorn like Bai Ze who has the ability to transform into a human form, and they are more human and powerful than ordinary unicorns...... The canon refers to this unicorn as 'Sarana's Kiss'. ”
"Sarana's kiss?"
"Hmm...... It is the messenger of Sarana, the Spirit of Water, in El...... That's what it means. ”
"Hmm...... Since Bai Ze is such a special child, then she will definitely be fine, right? The sky took off the black coat wrapped around the armor and wrapped the unconscious Bai Ze, and picked it up, hoping to get a positive answer from Reina.
"Of course...... Since we can't just climb up like this, let's just walk down this rift and see if we can get back to the surface. ”
Reina collected the scattered materials and threw all the things that were not needed in place.
The two men walked along the rift valley for a while, and Reina, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
"Sovereign?"
"The Firmament...... I had been thinking, "As he spoke, Reina kept rubbing against the uneven wall," and this collapse did not seem to be an accident. It's like a ...... in the dark A force has been guiding us here. ”
"That...... Does it have anything to do with the nightmare that the lord has? ”
"My ...... Nightmare? ”
"Well," the firmament pursed his lips and nodded, "In my dreams, the Lord always recited the word Arkaia. ”
"That's not because of ...... Have we been looking for relics about it lately? ”
"Hmm...... Maybe. The firmament nodded silently, "It's just...... When the Lord says 'here', is he referring to the rift where we are now? ”
"yes......" Reina kept wiping the rock wall.
The narrow light coming down from above the rock wall was not enough to see what was going on on the rock wall.
So, caught off guard in the sky, Reina suddenly raised his hands to summon the magic seal.
On the red magic mark, two suspended black fireballs were born, and the dark Cangyan illuminated the entire rock wall with a strange flame.
"Lord...... Lord? ”
"See, Firmament," Rainer didn't notice, his dark eyes stained a strange crimson again.
"Where we are now is the ruins of Arkaia that the two of us have been looking for!"
The mural depicts a huge city, under the dark light of the flames, it is even more magnificent, although the colors used are not gorgeous, but the level of lifelike painting is breathtaking, the marble building in the mural rises above the clouds, like mountains and mountains, floating in the air countless floating islands, the islands are connected by huge iron locks, and in the very center of the mural, is a huge building supported by countless courtyard columns, layered in the form of triangular pyramids, and on the spire of the building, Towering stands a huge statue of a warrior in his formal pose...... It is exactly the same as the Kerr statue in the village of Tasim.
The sky had never seen such a majestic city so far, and even the holy city of Didos, Agdiu, which had amazed her so much, could not compare to this city.
