Chapter 15: The City Under the Sea

When Ash wakes up, he finds himself lying on a cold floor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Pink Crystal and Sigma are dripping life dew into her mouth.

"Ash, you're awake!"

"Hmm."

Ash waved his hand for the two of them to put away the dewdrops, and said, "I'm ready, don't waste it." ”

"What, it's not wasted on the ashes!"

Pink crystal muttered, "You didn't know it was scary just now." His face was pale like a ghost. ”

"That's it!" Sigma agreed again and again, and finally found the person whose former owner made him wait, he didn't want the other party to hang up like this and let him sleep for tens of thousands of years.

At Pink Jingjing's insistence, Ash drank a few more drops of dew, and then he had to look around.

"Here?"

"I don't know, you fell into that portal earlier, maybe you were randomly teleported." Pink Jingjing shook her little head in thought.

Ash nodded faintly.

She wasn't worried about Cerley and the others, although Alice's abilities were very weird, she had lost her biggest reliance, the Scepter of Light. Ash's affinity for the elements had given her a keen sense of the various elements of magic, and from the very beginning when Alice cast her magic, she felt that the elements of that power were too peaceful, not like they were emitted by humans themselves. On the contrary, it seems that after years of precipitation, the original vitality has been worn away. Seeing Alice's scepter not leaving her body, she boldly guessed that the other party's light magic was not her own magic at all, but was cast through the scepter.

It turned out that she was right, and she believed that against Alice without the scepter, Cerret would have no problem if they couldn't escape.

But it's better to join them as soon as possible and don't worry them.

Her fingers ran over the smooth ground, looking around. The ground is not made of earth, it is obviously ground by hand, and then look at the broken high pillars around it. The dome was high, and it seemed as if they had been teleported into a half-collapsed palace.

Sigma and Pink Crystal stood on her shoulders as they grabbed their gray hair, exclaiming as they saw what was going on outside.

"It's... Where exactly? ”

Pink Jingjing covered her small mouth and looked at the wide square in front of her in disbelief.

At the center of the three main roads is a large circular plaza, which looks to have been idle for a long time, but almost 80% of it is still well preserved, except for the magic lamps that flicker and flicker. Some of the vegetation can still be faintly seen green, delicate benches for palace people to rest, small pavilions that block the view, and large fountains that have dried up. It seems that one can imagine the hustle and bustle of this place at the beginning.

From a distance, there are layers of dense buildings outside the square, and the color is light. However, the style is similar, and it is clearly a planned building.

"How big is this!" Pink Jingjing sighed.

Walking between the squares, some lines would light up on the ground from time to time, and Ash stopped, "This is... Inscription? ”

"Nope. No. ”

Sigma jumped out and excitedly said, "This is an ancient inscription!" Unlike the inscriptions carved by the beasts now, they can be blessed on any item! ”

"Ancient inscriptions can be combined and split, and the current magic array is evolved from ancient inscriptions."

"Since there is an ancient inscription here, it must be an ancient ruin!" Sigma said happily. "Maybe you'll find a lot of treasures!"

As a poor little demon who is weak except for his ability to charm people's hearts, Sigma is interested in any item or weapon that can improve and protect his abilities and those of his master.

Pink Jingjing was sad at the withered flowers. There were so many plants here that she hadn't seen before, but they had lost their vitality. If it is still in full bloom, then she can make a lot of different nectar, and it is a pity that she will bring it back to the small village for everyone to taste in the future.

The trio slowly explored the huge square. Ash simply released the Eyes of the Dead, and the green orbs flew in all directions with wide eyes. Honest feedback on what he saw to her.,Scraping together a map of the area in Gray's mind.。

This... Is it a city?!

Looking down from above, it is at least more than 500 square kilometers under a simple observation. Extending from the castle-like building in the center, there are all kinds of plans for the mage tower, residential areas, living areas, commercial areas, and even a small forest and an inland lake!

Over here... What the hell is the place?! Ash couldn't help but take a breath.

"Huh?" Pink Jingjing suddenly found something, grabbed Ash and pointed to the sky, tilted her little head, and said, "Ash, will there be fish flying around in the sky?" ”

"Flying fish?" Sigma also looked up, but her mouth opened wide in surprise, "Oh my God! ”

Previously, they had only focused on exploring their surroundings, but had not looked up to study the sky. No one thought that behind the blue sky with light white clouds, there were countless swimming fish!

It turns out that they are actually under the ocean!

The sky was nothing more than a magical projection, and the blue ocean became the background color of the sky, and they would not have noticed such a vision if it had not been for a large school of fish swimming close to the sky.

"Wow, that's beautiful!" Pink Jingjing couldn't help but feel dreamy bubbles all over her body, "Ash, is this city built in the sea?" ”

"Is that the city of the Sea Clan?"

"When I heard the story of Grandpa World Tree, he said that the sea tribe has a beautiful fish tail, and it is very good to sing."

Pink Jingjing looked yearning, but Sigma smiled evilly at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Where did you hear the jokes, where did the Sea Clan have good looks." ”

"The sea tribe I've seen before is not too ugly, it's like a fish with two legs on its body, some with seven or eight hands, and some with eyes on its face, and the timid will definitely have nightmares at night when they look at it."

"Nonsense! Talk nonsense! The world's tree grandpa is the most knowledgeable! He won't deceive! ”

"Ash, you're right?"

Ash rubbed Pink Jingjing's little head, nodded slightly, and said, "There are many classifications of the Sea Clan, and the Shark Man, the Shark Man, and the Fish Man all belong to the Sea Clan. Among them, the Naga people have snake tails, and the mermaid people have fish tails, and their appearances are very beautiful. ”

"I'll just say it!"

"Hehe, the Naga and the mermaids..."Pink Jingjing couldn't help but hallucinate while holding her cheeks, and finally snorted proudly at Sigma, saying, "What Grandpa World Tree said can't be wrong!" Ash knows it, too! You're definitely alone! ”

"What!? I'm lonely! When I was born, you didn't know where you were! ”

The two of them talked about each other, but there was no anxiety and uneasiness about coming to the new environment before, and the atmosphere suddenly became cheerful, so that Ash couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.

But... Is this really a city founded by the Sea Clan?

Her knowledge of the Sea Clan was limited to the rumors that Yongkad had casually said when she had taught her, and even in the continent of Mostankan, where aliens and humans lived together, the Sea Clan was a rather rare existence. It can only be seen occasionally in cities bordering the sea.

Suddenly, Ash felt that a part of the Eye of the Dead that had flown to the west had lost contact with her, and she frowned slightly as she recalled the effects of the last Eye of the Dead.

Is there anyone else here? Look at the men dressed like the soldiers of Qierjunla who entered the Desert Temple with them.

"Ash! Ash! Come on! ”

At this time, Pink Jingjing interrupted her thoughts, patted a few undead eyes to carefully hide and watch, and she walked towards Pink Jingjing.

"Look at this!"

Pink Jingjing pointed to a thin tree stump in the corner of the flower bed, and her eyes were shining.

"What's the fuss, isn't it just a piece of wood." Sigma Road.

"No, no, I just saw him blink!"

The two little ones were arguing, and when they didn't see the little stump, they opened one eye and peeked at the two of them. Then the branches under his feet secretly moved sideways, like a crab walking sideways, little by little about to get out of the sight of the two.

It's still a little bit close, and the little stump is about to leave this flower bed... However, the next moment, the small stump was completely vacated! Suddenly, two eyes disguised as tree patterns stared round.

As if he was still a little confused, the branches of the small stump swayed and struggled, and it took a long time to realize that he seemed to be being picked up by a strange creature.

Twisting his little body, the small stump wanted to escape, but he himself was slender like an ancient firewood chopping firewood, and the body of the cylinder was only shaking the leaves, and the small broken leg composed of two rhizomes dangled in the air for a long time, which had no effect at all.

Pink Jingjing and Sigma noticed this scene and both leaned back and laughed.

Ouch, that little touch of serious futile struggle with eyes and limbs is so cute, cute I really want to let people hold him in my arms and kiss him.

Ash curled the corners of his lips, and finally kindly lowered the little stump, but pulled his branch and didn't let him go.

The little stump was puzzled, the branches twitched for a long time, and the big eyes couldn't help but look at the strange creature, and then... Well, keep pumping.

"Ouch, that's funny, is this the Treant? Too stupid, right? Sigma's black wings flapped very fast, and he rolled in mid-air, rubbing his stomach with a smile and disdain.

"No, it's not! The little trees in the restaurant are smart! Serving tea, pouring water and rubbing your back is often praised! Not to be outdone, Pink Jingjing retorted, "This little tree man is just... It's just a little slower! ”

"Ash, are you right?"

Gray Shinobi smiled and nodded, the small stump in front of him obviously didn't know that he was being maintained, and still wanted to pull his branch out of the hands of the strange creature in front of him.

Sigma circled around the small stump, touching his chin with his hand and recalling that he had actually come into contact with the Tree Man more than once in ancient times, and just now he was just a little demon who was familiar with the evil roots of human beings, and he was not used to being innocent creatures. He knew the wisdom of the tree man very well, but the small stump in front of him made him unrecognizable.

It looked like unsplit firewood, the branches and rhizomes were as thin as his arms, and there were no luxuriant leaves on the top of his head, only a small bulge carrying a green leaf and swaying. It looked like a miniature version of the old tree with its head full of leaves, and it didn't match the little tree man he remembered.

This... Is it really a tree man?
