Chapter 12: The City in the Clouds
When that force was gone, Hathaway found herself standing in front of a tall city gate with extremely rare green clouds and a cloud of mist, and it was impossible to see how big the city really was, or whether there were any people inside.
"Anyone?" Hathaway shouted.
She wasn't nervous about this weird situation...... Is there a more bizarre event of rebirth, crossing, and seizure? And she also surveyed a lot of bloody scenes when investigating the case, she was just more cautious.
No one answered, and it was as silent as a dead city.
Hathaway frowned slightly, and reached out to gently stroking the city gate...... The gate was more than ten meters high, it must have been extremely heavy, she didn't intend to push it open all at once, but something unexpected happened, just when her hand just touched the gate, a faint light began to appear, and silver lines appeared on the gate. At first, it was just a small cobweb-like mark, but soon, the lines gradually spread outward and began to become very clear.
Above the gate, four graceful and large texts form an arc. Each of the two gates has a giant coral-like tree, and in the middle of the gate is a star with many stars...... Just as these patterns appeared one by one, lines of text suddenly appeared in the blank space of the gate, and these words were like scrolling subtitles:
"Echoing the call of the Ancient Covenant, recreating the style of the city in the clouds, inheriting the descendants of the Holy Bloodline, and reproducing the glorious ...... of the Holy Race"
This is the text of the fairy clan, the same as when she first got the fairy garden, without learning, she naturally mastered this kind of text, but listening to this thing that seems to be poetry and not poetry, like song and not song, she is a little confused...... It seems that the responsibility is quite heavy.
She still knows the race of goblins, thanks to the original owner of this body, although the magic is not very good, but the knowledge of some magic edges is still quite clear, because she has read a lot of books in her spare time, including some brief histories of races.
The goblin race, the giant race, the dwarf race, etc., are said to be the gods, but after a long time, some races have long disappeared in the long river of history, and some races are declining, and the most active in this world may be the dwarf race, but the population base is also much worse than that of humans. As for the elves, in ancient times, they were vassals of the elves, like the druids, but now they are even more prosperous than the elves.
"I don't know if there are any goblins in this world now."
Hathaway muttered softly, seeing that nothing had changed since the words disappeared, and then pushed the door hard...... The gate is not heavy, and the material of green cloud crystal itself is not very heavy, otherwise it would not have been used to build this sky city.
After pushing open the door, a breath that was not stale, but full of the vicissitudes of time, came to his face, and in an instant, a strange scene appeared in front of Hathaway's eyes...... The city is full of bustling people, all of whom are goblins. The goblins are the real darlings of nature, each of them is a double cultivation of magic and martial arts, and the men are handsome and mighty, and the women are heroic and charming, although their ears are slightly pointer than normal people, but they are not as sharp as the elves, with long dark green hair and light green eyes.
The fairy civilization represents the inheritance of a myth, and all races in the world enter the fairy city to study, and then go to prosper their own races, and the scene that appears in front of Hathaway's eyes has humans of all colors, and even the sea tribe...... Hathaway couldn't help but step in.
Yes, it's to get into it. However, the strange thing is that these people didn't seem to see her, and walked past her without squinting, and some even walked directly past her body, and she tried to reach out and grab the arm of a fairy passing by...... Her hand squeezed into the air, and the elf walked past her with poise.
"What is illusory is illusory, and no matter how realistic it is, it cannot become reality." Hathaway somewhat understood that the scene in front of her was not real, maybe it was some kind of magical effect, but it was definitely not real.
"Huh!"
A long sigh suddenly sounded, and then an old voice sounded: "You are right, the illusory are illusory after all, they have long been drowned in the long river of history, and they should only exist in memory." ”
"Who are you?" Hathaway was shocked, she couldn't tell where the sound was coming from, and when she looked up, the pedestrians coming and going became more and more strange.
Suddenly, all the sights were gone, and there was an empty street lined with fine houses, and the sky was covered with clouds, but it did not affect the light in the slightest, and in the middle of the air not far ahead, stood a male goblin with dull hair and very old.
"Who are you?" Hathaway did not let her guard down because of the other party's age, pressing the short sword in her right hand, and secretly taking the pistol in her left hand, ready to respond.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just an old pawn in this city in the clouds."
The old goblin smiled lonely: "There was a name back then, but I forgot it for a long time, so you can call me 'veteran'." ”
"Veteran, are you the only one in this city?"
Sensing that the self-proclaimed 'veteran' goblin didn't seem to have any ill intentions, Hathaway let go of the hilt of her sword and put her pistol away.
"People? I'm no longer human, just a wandering spirit in the city of clouds. ”
The veteran shook his head, "Since you have obtained the Fairy Garden and the City in the Clouds, then you are the inheritor of the Fairy Clan's holy relics, and I am responsible for leading you to the Demon Spirit Palace, don't ask me about other things now, I won't say anything else if you ask." ”
"Don't refuse so quickly, the houses on both sides are well preserved, what about the people inside?" How could Hathaway not ask, and immediately displayed interrogation skills, interrogating the veteran as a suspect, and asked a series of questions to the veteran's head.
"Let's go!"
He let out a low snort, and as soon as he waved his hand, Hathaway felt an invisible force envelop her, and she couldn't help but fly forward with the veteran.
"Hey, veteran, am I going to come in often? You don't get in and out this way every time, do you? Hathaway asked as she chattered beside him.
The veteran's body paused slightly, but he didn't speak, but continued to fly with her...... After about a cup of tea, a towering hall appeared in front of me.
