Volume II: The Gran Forest 127 . Castle in the Sky (Part II)
"Let's go see something different from this continent." Xiu Zhe took off his mask, and there was no shock in his deep eyes, as if the magnificent scene here could not make him intoxicated.
"Hmm!" Yong Shili nodded her head vigorously, and then she found that Xiu Zhe's interest didn't seem to be high, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
There was not a trace of fluctuation in Xiu Zhe's eyes, and a strange thought was born in his mind.
Ignoring some doubts, Yong Shili Xiu Zhe came to the first floor of the tower and gently placed his ghost hand in front of the two closed gates that were thirty meters high.
Caressing the layered golden dragon pattern, these flamboyant dancing claws are made of pure gold, and the lifelike golden dragon is a masterpiece of magic.
"I can feel that the person who built the tower has the same aura as the mysterious woman who popped out of the Cave of Sorrow, but it is definitely not the mysterious woman, and the aura is fundamentally different." Xiu Zhe said with a sneer.
Yong Shili was slightly shocked in her heart and said, "That... Shall we go in? ”
"Rest assured, the man who built this tower is not in this tower." As he spoke, Xiu Zhe pushed the two gates open with both hands, and walked into the tower with Yong Shili one after the other.
A strong smell of blood came to their noses, and what was reflected in the eyes of the two of them was not a pile of extremely aggressive dragonmen, but corpses everywhere, most of which were dragonmen's corpses, and a few had human corpses.
Xiu Zhe came to the corpse of a human and turned him over, this person's chest was cut with a big hole, the blood had not even dried, the shocked expression was forever fixed on his face, and a pair of eyes were wide but had long lost their lustre.
"This is not the armor worn by the principality's army." Yong Shili's pair of silver-blue eyebrows also wrinkled slightly, and said softly.
Xiu Zhe's eyes focused on the shoulder armor worn by the corpse, which was emblazoned with the 'swastika' symbol, which was the symbol of the Delos Empire, as did the army that prevented the people from entering the Sky City.
"Things are in trouble." Xiu Zhe slowly stood up, raised his head and looked at the ceiling on the first floor of Sky City, and said, "Go upstairs, since someone has cleared the enemy for us, we are also happy to be idle." ”
A spiral-shaped staircase was at the corner of each floor, and Xiu Zhe and Yong Shili avoided the corpses on the ground and walked up to the second floor, which was very similar to the situation on the first floor, with corpses all over the floor.
The blood of dragonmen is red like that of humans, and dragonmen of different types and skin colors fell to the ground and died miserably, and among these corpses were small and inhuman-like dragons who were half a man tall, and there were also tall dragonmen who were similar to human limbs.
"They're holding weird weapons." Yong Shili picked up a weapon from the ground that must have been used by the dragonman, connected by a stick in the middle, and both ends were extremely sharp blades in the shape of a U-shape.
Like a fork but one point less than a normal fork, Xiu Zhe looked at the ruins of the second floor and came to a dragon head building that had not been destroyed.
As soon as the ghost hand was placed on the dragon's head, the eyes of the dragon's head made of special materials burst into light, and then a breath containing ice magic erupted from the dragon's head.
Xiu Zhe's reaction was not slow, and he dodged this attack, and the range of his breath was not large, but the corpses were frozen into ice sculptures everywhere he passed.
Yong Shili naturally found that Xiu Zhe had touched some kind of mechanism, and her body moved, and she stood side by side with Xiu Zhe, and asked in disbelief: "What's the matter?" ”
"It's nothing, this might be an attack set up in Sky City." Xiu Zhe stretched out a finger and pointed at the dragon head building that had been spewing out ice magic breath before.
"That old man at GSD said that Sky City is in danger, so you need to be careful." Yong Shili reminded Dao, and immediately pouted, a little dissatisfied: "This old man has been to Sky City before, and climbed the heavenly curtain from the top of the tower, but the giant beast didn't tell me what was in here. ”
"Telling us about the city in the sky is a loss of the joy of exploration for me, and he hasn't set foot in the city in the sky for years, so it's hard to know what will happen during this time, and it's much better for him to tell nothing than to tell us the wrong information." Xiu Zhe smiled slightly, walked around the corpse and walked towards the stairs leading to the upper floor.
The situation on the third layer is no different from the first two layers, a large number of dragonmen have died and can no longer die, and one or two corpses of Delos Imperial soldiers can also be seen in this group of dragonman corpses.
"What are we going to fight here? Just slow down and let Delos's gang of guys who are in a hurry to send them to death get out of the way. Yong Shili snorted coldly and felt a little unhappy, the main reason why she came here was the joy of wanting to see the GBL Sect after some training and hardship, but now it was all destroyed by these guys from the Delos Empire.
Yong Shili said angry words, but Xiu Zhe thought that this was the best way, the danger of Sky City might be far beyond his imagination, and the energy contained in the ice attribute aura spewed from that building was already comparable to the woman in blue he met in Gran Forest.
That's the second layer! This city in the sky has hundreds of floors, and the further this goes, the more dangerous it becomes.
Suddenly, the corners of Xiu Zhe's mouth hooked up an inexplicable smile and said, "We are waiting here, and two acquaintances have also entered Sky City." ”
Yong Shili nodded, she had always thought about Xiu Zhe's thoughts, although the smell of blood here made people feel a little disgusting, but Yong Shili was not a fledgling little girl, even the hellish scene when Kazan ate people, she had witnessed it, and her psychological endurance was far stronger than that of a child of this age.
Xiu Zhe's eyes have been locked on the stairs from the second floor to the third floor, and in about five or six minutes, there was a sound of footsteps, and Yong Shili's eyes also followed the sound.
"It's stinking here, let's go quickly, really, why did Master let us enter this place? I thought the castle in the sky was beautiful. A complaining female voice sounded, and Luo Lian'an's figure also appeared in Xiu Zhe and Yong Shili's sight.
As if she noticed that someone was watching her, Luo Lian turned her head to look at a pair of very good-looking eyes with a look of shock.
"Long time no see, Lorianne, Kelly." Xiu Zhe chuckled and looked at Kelly who was walking up to the third floor after Luo Lian.
Kelly has not changed much, she is still the same long brown hairpin, with two hairpins strung together, a smart blue robe, and two belts around her waist to provide an arc of her slightly developed breasts.
"Are you Xiu Zhe?!" Luo Lian trotted in front of Xiu Zhe with some excitement, looked around Xiu Zhe like a curious baby, and said, "Why did your guy's hair become like this?" ”
Before Xiu Zhe could answer, Luo Lian leaned over to Yong Shili's side again, stretched out her slender hand to wrap her arms around Yong Shili's slender waist, and teased: "Our ninth princess has finally recovered her daughter's body?" I didn't expect it to look better than me~"
Yong Shili's face was a little ruddy, she broke away from Luo Lian's hand around her waist and leaned to Xiu Zhe's side, she has always maintained a cold attitude towards outsiders, she was a little awkward by Luo Lian's 'hooligan' style, but she couldn't have a seizure, after all, Luo Lian is a girl.
Kelly was also happy to see Xiu Zhe, although several people had only met once, they had also been comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side, and Kelly valued this friendship more than anyone else.
Quickly came to Xiu Zhe and hugged Xiu Zhe boldly, this move not only made Xiu Zhe stunned, but even Luo Lian and Yong Shili were also in place, and then Yong Shili's eyes instantly became gloomy.
Seeing Yong Shili's reaction, Luo Lian smiled awkwardly and whispered: "This is the behavior of the people of the Heavenly Realm when they treat their friends, and they have no other meaning. ”
Sure enough, Kelly just touched it, and there was no love in her eyes, and Yong Shili's face eased a lot.
Turning her head, Kelly was slightly stunned when she saw Yong Shili, although Kelly thought that her appearance was not bad, but she was slightly inferior to the girl in white in front of her.
"Hi, I forgot to introduce." Luo Lian patted her smooth forehead and said with a smile: "Kelly, this is Yong Shili, the ninth daughter of the former monarch of the Duchy of Belmar, and the strongest among the many students of the Imperial Sword Academy, Ning Jiu. ”
"Huh?!" Kelly's eyes widened, and Yong Shili's heroic appearance when she was a boy appeared in her mind, and her appearance at that time was completely different from the slim girl standing in front of her now.
Yong Shili smiled slightly: "Ning Jiu is the pseudonym I use. ”
"No wonder!" Kelly suddenly realized, gritted her teeth, pinched Luo Lian, and said dissatisfiedly: "At that time, we were teleported into the space created by the arrogant sin priest, you see Ning... No, Yong Shili's gaze is not quite right, I ask you if you still pretend to be mysterious. ”
Luo Li'an patted Kelly's hand pinching her waist with her white teeth, and muttered: "Master told me three times not to tell the outside world, even now, the news that Yong Shili is Ning Jiu has not been confirmed, and it is just a rumor, after all, at that time, the ninth princess of the principality pretended to be a boy and lived with a boy for three years, and it had a bad reputation." ”
Xiu Zhe touched his nose and opened the topic and said, "You should have also seen a batch of dragon corpses and the corpses of a few Delos Empire soldiers along the way, I think we are happy to be behind them, what do you say?" ”
"You think too beautifully, as far as I know, the people who led this group of soldiers are Barn and Forrest Gump, there are a total of one hundred and one floors in the sky city, and it is already the limit that those ordinary soldiers can follow Barn up to the twentieth floor, and the remaining floors are up to the two sword masters to judge whether to slaughter each floor or use the speed advantage to rush to the top of the tower."
Hearing Luo Lian say this, Xiu Zhe's brows also frowned slightly, he was far from knowing the Sky City as well as Luo Lian, and he didn't expect that the troops led by Barn and Forrest Gump would not be able to bring the army sent by the Delos Empire to the top of the tower.
"Kelly and I just came to take a look, and it's almost impossible for the two of us to rush to the top of the tower." Luo Lian'an rolled her eyes, grabbed Yong Shili's arm and chuckled: "But with the two of you, I think you can also try to climb to the top of the tower." ”
