855 Rise and fall, but the soul is forever
โโฆโฆโ
The sound of slow footsteps echoed around the empty hall as Duan Qing gradually walked down the high platform, and at the same time, there was also the scene of him holding the ice sculpture carefully through the gap in the steps, and the stone staircase that had begun to crumble due to disrepair also showed signs of crumbling as the weight of the two people passed. Struggling to maintain their fragile balance, Duan Qing finally walked safely to the floor of the gymnasium hall, and then after bypassing one of the huge pillars, he came to the nearest stone table to them: "So many dead people......"
"It doesn't seem to have been formed by accident."
He put down the ice cube that wrapped Ayina and quietly approached the side of the skeleton, and then after a period of inspection, he looked up in a certain direction in front of him - the skeleton that had been dead for a long time had lost its arms at this time, and a pair of human skulls and torsos on the stone platform behind the table were empty, its head tilted, and its dark eye holes and jaws were wide open in the direction that Duan Qing had noticed: "You are ......"
"See what?"
He turned and looked at another dry skeleton not far from him, and the skeleton half on his side was also looking in the same direction not far away with its open mouth, as if he had seen something terrible before he died. Same as the table and chair in front of Duan Qing, the stone table in front of the skeleton also looked hollow with nothing, and he who kept inspecting these two bones then also looked farther away, and the clean tables and chairs and the skeletons that were lying or falling down in front of him kept appearing: "Strange ......"
"Even if you're not from here, there should be something here."
He raised his hand and looked at the emerald green stone in his hand, and the glowing green light continued to appear in front of him like a shining firefly, flickering like the previous power stones and recording stones. Turning his gaze a little puzzled, Duan Qing's gaze once again swept around the empty hall, and then within the reach of the green flashlight in his hand, he once again confirmed the results of the lack of results between those tables and chairs and the corpses: "There is no equipment, no residual clothing and signs...... Don't you even have a power stone? You're doing ...... this."
"How can I find out what happened here?"
Lowering his raised fist, he began to move on with some haze, and then slowly picked up the echo of footsteps faintly echoing around him, towards the central part of the hall. After carefully examining it for a long time, his gaze was then drawn back from the other row of tables and chairs, which had no traps or traps, but the action of examining the bones stopped at a raised smooth cobblestone in front of one of the stone tables near the center of the hall.
Different from the stones he had encountered before, the stone that appeared in front of Duan Qing's eyes was emitting a soft and strange milky white fluorescence at this time.
"It's ...... What the? โ
Looking at the green square in his hand, he scratched his head, and after a moment he landed his carefully outstretched finger on the surface of the oval stone. The imaginary trap or mechanism and other reactions were not immediately staged in front of Duan Qing, but instead the stone flashed like a ripple in the light where it touched his fingertips, and Duan Qing, who hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his palm and grabbed the stone hard: "...... Hey? โ
He tried to pick up the cobblestone, but what he got was the result of the stone as if it was set in place, and after using all the strength of the game character, he exhaled heavily, and a strange light flashed in his eyes: "Could it be ......?"
"Is that right?"
Buzz โ
A loud humming sound then appeared in every corner of the entire hall, and as Duan Qing entered the only earth-based magic energy into it, it was amplified in his ears one after another, and the crystal screens that appeared out of thin air like magic were then like fireworks scattered over the gymnasium, one after another bloomed in the air around Duan Qing. In the continuous sound of the electronic sound synthesized by the unknown language in front of the magic screen, the entire hall that seemed to come to life gradually lit up with a magical light that was enough to illuminate all the corners, and the three-dimensional images synthesized by the intertwined light were then combined into a huge screen in front of Duan Qing, and the white words flashed in front of him gradually widening: "โฒโกโโโโ"
"Damn, can you use something I can understand...... Never mind. โ
Staring at the ghost drawings that he couldn't understand at all, Duan Qing couldn't help but spit out his irrepressible thoughts, but as if in response to his complaints, all the screens and virtual images that shone in the entire hall then disappeared again like a flash in the pan. Opening his mouth, Duan Qing finally dispelled the urge to destroy something, and then after a few deliberate deep breaths, he returned his gaze to the surface of the milky white cobblestone in front of him: "It's already ...... You can't even afford a five-second battery, right? โ
"You won."
Gritting his teeth and staring for a long time, he waved his hand, and then splashed the green fluorescence that still filled his left hand around the milky white fluorite. The magic lines composed of countless unknown symbols belonging to this area then also appeared in Duan Qing's vision when he lowered his head, and they were combined into the prototype of a huge magic array, Duan Qing, who had observed this magic array slightly, then retracted his gaze and moved forward with the figure he stepped by: "It seems to be the same usage as the central hall underground...... Well, given the connection between this city and the city of Zaraha, it may be impossible to say what they have in common......"
"I'll leave the rest to the Mage Council."
He picked up the ice sculpture and continued to walk towards the other side of the hall: "I just want to solve my problem now...... Hey? โ
"It's ...... Record crystals? โ
Turning around the corner of the hall composed of rows of stone tables and chairs, Duan Qing walked to the other side of the front section between the several stone pillars that supported the main hall, and several dim and dull energy gems of various colors were scattered on a stone platform inlaid in the middle of the stone pillars as Duan Qing had seen before, accompanied by a small stone pillar with a strange shape. Frowning and observing the stone pillar for a long time, Duan Qing finally found a memory similar to this small stone pillar in his memories about Falling Star Mountain, and then picked up one of the gems scattered on the ground as if he had an understanding: "It looks ......"
"Looks like there's one less energy source."
A slight magic buzz gradually rose in front of him with the action of Duan Qing's placement, which was the sound of the energy gem that Duan Qing placed on the tip of the stone pillar when the magic array attached to the stone pillar was activated, and the scholars in magic robes then passed by the three-dimensional images generated in front of Duan Qing one by one, and slowly walked to the center of the gymnasium-style hall that he was extremely familiar with, and the faint magic light then gradually rose along the spell casting actions of the few magicians who were gathered around, The stone tables and chairs surrounding the magic array were lit up one after another, as if the roar of a whole machine when it was activated then occupied Duan Qing's hearing, and at the same time, there was a large magical virtual image rising in the picture in front of him and the cheers of the surrounding crowd: "I see, it is still a recording stone ...... that records the construction process."
"Since earthy yellow represents life, it represents death...... I guess it's fiery red. โ
He shook his head and placed another dim fiery red stone scattered on the ground on top of the pillar, and then the sound of energy rising from the magic circle as it began to work again took into his eyes the sky-piercing firelight. Amid the shouts of killing that continued to rise all around, the giant magic machines flying in the air then gradually covered the firelight that was enough to light up the entire sky, and the huge and thick magic beams then shot down the magician team flying in the sky like a rainbow scattered in the sky: "...... Really. โ
"Without this unfolding, I can't imagine how this city could have become an empty city."
Looking at the city in the air that was burning in the middle of the picture, Duan Qing lowered his head deeply, and then at the same time that the fire system record stone on the stone pillar shattered, he sighed and put a water system record stone that had rolled down to the foot of the stone table again. The virtual image belonging to the hall in front of him then appeared in front of Duan Qing, but this time it was the scene of people staring at those magic screens sitting in front of their respective stone platforms with a frightened face, and then there was a violent shaking in the middle of the various magical lights that were constantly flashing because of the instability of energy, revealing the image of a woman covered in blood.
โโฆโฆ Frey. โ
The sudden exclamation was accompanied by a blood-colored sword light that exploded towards the surroundings of the hall, and soon completely swallowed the back of the dressed back containing the gorgeous armor and all the surrounding scenes, as if it could not withstand the power contained in this image, and then shattered into pieces in front of Duan Qing, scattering around the stone pillar where the magic light was gradually dimming. Ignoring the scattered fragments, Duan Qing, who had bitten out the woman's name, turned his gaze to the center of the hall he had walked through before, and then frowned deeply in his eyes that kept looking at the skeletons around him: "Teleportation...... A large area of demon-breaking power, and ...... Such a neat and uniform death, huh. โ
"What a tragic story."
He shook his head, his gaze returning to the surface of the stone pillar that looked like a playing machine, but the hand that wanted to pick up the next stone stopped in mid-air, on the ancient pattern that was reflected in a green glow. The emerald green square stone that had been firmly held in his hand was then slowly held up in front of him by Duan Qing, as if it was transmitting something to him in a flickering way, staring at the surface of the square, he remained silent until the breathing sound that kept reaching his ears began to become clear: "...... How? โ
"You too...... Got something to say? โ
The brilliant light then occupied his field of vision with the movement of his placement, completely illuminating the interior of the entire square hall, and the phantom of the image of the singer who had appeared in front of Duan Qing before was then condensed in the air on the side of the hall with a dazzling light, just like the magic screens that had appeared in front of him before. opened her eyes slightly, like a female phantom who had come to life, then put away her movements of clasping her hands, and then after brushing off the gorgeous robe and emerald green long hair on her body, she looked down in the direction where Duan Qing was: "...... This is our guilt, Mo Shang Qingshan. โ
โโฆโฆ Ayina? โ
Carefully distinguishing the voice that sounded in his ears and was obviously modified and synthesized by Ayina's lame language ability, Duan Qing's face finally appeared with an unbelievable expression: "How are you ......?"
"I'm sure I'm dead when you see this image."
Ignoring Duan Qing's involuntary question, the image continued to say in spliced words: "Don't grieve because of my death, because that is my fate. โ
"A fate that we ocrits deserve to accept."
"Ocleit sacrificed too much that he shouldn't have sacrificed to build the Sky City, so when the tribes were abandoned by the Magic Empire and finally fell, our patriarch did not feel any resentment or sadness. We are the last remnants of our clan, but all the way up to my father, who is also the patriarch...... He has also been telling me not to try to be like those losers who are unwilling to fail, to find the glory of their original tribe. โ
"Until...... The arrival of a child of destiny who saved me. โ
The figure floating in the air kept shaking, looking as if it was about to disappear, but on the face of the singer who was extremely similar to Ayina, a bright smile like the sun gradually appeared: "The world cannot forgive the world for what the Magic Empire has done, but the world without their protection will also come to an end, and the Oklitus clan is no longer qualified to continue to rule all things from the highest point in the sky, but even the most sinful sinners...... He also did not want his family to suffer such a tragic fate as the prophecy. โ
"If possible, make the most of whatever I and my clan have left." In the scene of countless emerald green lights constantly circulating and rising, the phantom of the singer began to gradually blur: "You are the last family member of Ayina, even if Ayina can't accompany you to the end......"
"Ayina's soul will always be by your side."
