1499 Alternate cast
It was as if the dream that unfolded in front of her suddenly turned into an illusory bubble, and all the scenes that appeared in front of Xue Ling's phantom ice disappeared in an instant with the touch of her hand, and the world that had already shown blue sky and white clouds and the heat of the sky also suddenly faded into the distance like a tide at this time, returning the white clouds that were originally located here to her face. The gaze did not show any surprise because of the performance of this scene, and the snow spirit phantom ice that was standing in place slowly withdrew the white palm that had originally picked up the bricks and tiles, and the real illusion that was wrapped around those bricks and tiles also turned into the same rising silk thread at this time, floating little by little in front of her like evaporating water vapor: "I see." β
"The reappearance of the illusion."
She raised her other hand, looked at the delicate shovel in her hand that had not disappeared with these illusions, and whispered, "But if you look closely, whether it is the whole thing or the thing in your hand, it is very much in line with your style." β
"Are you lost in such a world again?"
She raised her hand, and at the same time looked up at the surroundings of the white world that had once again changed back to hazy due to the lingering clouds, and the dead silence atmosphere also occupied every corner of this white fog world as all the sounds gradually subsided, but it did not bring any weird pressure to Xue Ling's heart: "What a guy who likes to entertain himself...... Hehe. β
"I don't know what your purpose is, but you can't wait for me to save you."
She pursed her mouth, but a smile gradually escaped from the corner of her eyes: "If it's really your turn to need me to help you, I really have to reconsider the matter of apprenticeship." β
"You're too inferior."
A vague sigh diffused around the white void world as she spoke, accompanied by the figure of the woman with the same pale hair who disappeared again between the clouds, and her swimming posture, which was no longer confused, became faster and faster, and the hand holding the wall-building tool was raised high above her head like a signal. The white mist, which was still unchanged, also filled her left and right with the woman's walk, but the seemingly unchanged scene became more and more churning with the tools she raised in her hand, and the obvious air flow of the Dao Dao then surrounded the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice again after wandering aimlessly for a period of time, slowly blowing away the unchanging mist in her eyes: "...... So it's this, it's this, it's this, and this- huh? β
"Didn't I let people come in and disturb me? How did you get in? β
As if day had suddenly turned into night, the walls of the room representing the workshop were suddenly shrouded in front of Snow Spirit Ice with a dim light, and a man who was busy in the middle of these stone walls then turned the candle flame in front of him, and at the same time turned to the direction where Snow Spirit Ice was with a pair of eyes hanging up with glasses: "Get me out, otherwise, my anger will not be easy-huh?" β
"It's you, Ling."
Tapping his finger to the edge of his round eyes, the man dressed as a magician, surrounded by candlelight and countless scrolls, buried his gaze again: "Why, don't you go to bed so late?" Is there anything magically incomprehensible? β
ββ¦β¦ What are you busy with? Without answering the other party's question, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who brushed her hair, asked indifferently: "It's so late, don't you need to rest?" β
"Of course I don't." Without paying the slightest attention to the meaning of the snow spirit phantom ice, the magician in the center of the stone chamber lowered his head again: "Before the storm comes, I must complete all my work, if the defensive magic on the bridge deck is not arranged, the efforts of tens of thousands of people in several countries will be wiped out in an instant." β
"Protective magic?" Quietly taking two steps forward, Xue Ling's indifferent face showed a somewhat puzzled look: "Do you mean the protective magic of the Bridge of Miracles?" Do you need to deal with the design of those magic arrays and magic circuits? β
"Of course, it's not as simple as protecting against magic, I need to connect the energy supply of the entire magic circuit to both sides of the continent to ensure that before the storm comes...... Not. β
The eyes hidden behind the glasses bloomed with an even more strange light, and the mage who suddenly paused in place looked up at Xue Ling's face: "As my magic apprentice, didn't you also participate in the design of some of these drawings and scrolls?" How can such a question be asked? β
ββ¦β¦ I was a little dazed just now, so my head was a little unconscious. β
Shaking his head, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who walked closer, casually perfunctory the topic: "How long will it take to complete this work?" β
"I'll do it as soon as possible, without you having to worry about it." With a wave of his hand, the magician's gaze that had glanced at Xue Ling's Phantom Ice also sank back to his table: "Or do you think you can do this work for me?" Do this seemingly impossible task for me? β
"Even though my magic skills are not as good as yours, at least I still know something." Looking down at the design of the bridge spread on the table in front of the other party, Xue Lingphantom slowly pointed out his finger: "If you can't solve the energy loss caused by the long path, it is impossible for the protective magic of the entire bridge to activate." β
"You can design a transit station in the middle, a place where you can carry and transfer magical energy." A strange look flashed in her eyes, and she looked at the magician who looked like Duan Qing who approached her: "What's the name...... It's called a safe haven. β
Airplanes!
The same illusion storm as before once again covered the front of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, separating the line of sight she was looking at with "Duan Qing" to both sides of black and white, and she hurriedly retreated and then returned her gaze to the depths of the white clouds that returned to nothingness, as if she wanted to find any clues that could be distinguished: "Damn, it seems that I can't easily touch the things in my memories next time, or maybe it's becauseβ"
Her voice froze in mid-air, accompanied by the woman's gaze on her hand, and the delicate shovel tool that should have been in the palm of her hand also turned into an old-looking sheepskin scroll, slowly drifting with the faint breath blowing around the white mist: "This is ...... Plan? β
The dead silence could no longer affect her mind, and she hurriedly opened the parchment scroll in her hand, and the intricate design lines and footnotes written in various incomprehensible words were also presented in front of her as the scroll unfolded, so that the excitement that the white-haired woman had originally mentioned was instantly extinguished: "Whew, it doesn't seem to be any usable clue." β
"Looks like we'll have to keep trying our luck."
She raised her head, her gaze calmed down as her emotions rearranged, and the sea of white clouds continued to pass by the woman as she began to move forward again, and the originally calm mist became more and more restless as she lifted the parchment scroll: "Wind, wind, windβ"
"The storm is coming!"
The calm air was replaced by a storm that suddenly set off across the entire space, and the dark sky and the violent storm and rain that spread all over this sky then covered the large wilderness that emerged in front of the snow spirit phantom ice, and the scene of countless people screaming for help was then running back and forth in front of the bridge that was about to be repaired, leaving behind the work at hand and hiding behind the fortifications that had been repaired around these broken bridges: "Quick! Hide! Don't worry about anything else! β
"But if these magic circuits can't be connected, this, this bridge will-"
"The Ministry of Magic will take care of the rest! They are the main force defending this bridge! The unbuilt parts will be defended by them! At most, it will affect the life of the bridge! β
"Not to mention our descendants, even the descendants of a thousand years from now are enough for them! We only have one life! β
Bang!
In the rumbling shock, it was as if a flood had fallen from the sky from the dark sky to the edge of the bridge where the snow spirit phantom ice was at this time, and the terrifying magic fluctuations of the wooden beams and stone pillars engraved with various magic runes and lines seemed to be dwarfed by the power of nature, and the vibrations caused by the huge impact then spread along the entire bridge with no end in sight in the east and west directions. The screams were then completely covered by the huge waves in this storm, and the splash of water in her face was then lifted more than ten meters high in front of the eyes of the snow spirit phantom ice, and the confusion in her eyes faded, and she hurriedly hid behind the nearest fortification like everyone else, and watched the monstrous waves gradually run towards the end of the wilderness on the other side of the bridge with other people who were also hiding here: "This, what's going on?" β
"This is the calamity mentioned in the prophecy." Trembling and picking up a spear, one of the people dressed as a non-commissioned officer standing beside her then put away his voice that was still commanding just now: "Tianshui will flood half of the continent and split Roslia and Lemuria in two...... Damn, I thought it was just the same continuous rainy weather as before, but I didn't expect it to be a precursor to this disaster. β
"That's why the bridge is what it is?" What answered him was Xue Ling's phantom ice against his chin and frowning and contemplative: "No wonder the current bridge is so badly damaged, it turns out that it has left sequelae when it was built......"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Our bridge will withstand the onslaught of this disaster! I don't know if it was because he didn't hear Xue Ling's words, the non-commissioned officer then stood up righteously: "The handwriting of the Rand people is the dignity of the Rand people!" Not even Heaven can easily destroy it! What's more, we have people from the Ministry of Magic behind usβ"
"I didn't look down on your actions against the sky, I just suddenly thought of some suggestions." Staring at the crowded scene of countless people still struggling to resist the huge waves in front of them, Xue Lingphantom Ice unconsciously whispered, "Anyway, you don't plan to completely defeat this natural disaster in the end, you just want to leave a way to live. β
"In that case, you don't have to contend head-on with this natural disaster." She pointed to her feet, and at the same time pointed in the direction of the flood behind her, "As long as you can keep this bridge, can't you let the flood pass under your feet?" β
"Yes, yes! That's why the people at the Ministry of Magic have designed so many floating circles! A bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and the non-commissioned officer who reached out and took off his helmet showed his expression of sudden realization: "They have long been ready for half the continent to be submerged!" So many people along the way have been relocated to other places! β
"The bridge we are on will gradually rise as the water rises, and eventually it will become a pontoon bridge connecting the two sides of the mainland." Nodding his head, Xue Lingphantom Ice looked at the face of the non-commissioned officer who looked like Duan Qing with a look of agreement: "As for what kind of result this natural disaster will have on the Free Continent in the end-"
"It's up to the heavens to decide for themselves."
The deafening sound of the waves, the clamor of shouts, and the sight of being gradually swallowed up by the flood then disappeared in front of the snow spirit ice along with the soldier's smiling face, melting into the white light of the space like melting ice and snow. The white-haired woman's complexion, which was already very familiar with this phenomenon, did not change in the slightest, and the limbs that were still standing quietly in place gradually fell into the white mist with the dissolution of the bridge under her feet, frowning and thinking for a long time, she also took a deep breath, and her closed eyes slowly opened: "Different stages of bridge-building memories, different roles and ...... characters"
"Are you going to recreate the entire Bridge of Wonders in this space?"
She said to herself, while pinching the weapon in her hand that had been transformed into a wooden spear and rising forward again, and the rise and fall of the huge tower was then presented in front of her in the brightly lit scene, accompanied by a gorgeously dressed and noble man standing in front of the tower with his hands behind his back, looking down at the back of the tower through the glass: "...... What's wrong, dear? It's so lateβhmm. β
"How do you hold a weapon?"
The neatly combed hair reflected a dazzling brilliance in the man's turning movements, and at the same time, the man's slightly majestic expression was even more obvious, but in the eyes of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice at this time, this face that resembled Duan Qing could hardly exert any substantial pressure on her no matter how majestic it was: "She is still dressed as an adventurer...... Wait a minute, you're hurt? β
"I've practiced my marksmanship, and it's out of the way." casually patting his scarred body, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who stepped forward, glanced around the room: "What are you doing here?" β
"For the sake of a treaty with the Nords, of course." Sighing deeply, the man in the Chinese costume who hesitated for a moment finally chose to open his mouth in a low voice: "After all, if you don't handle it well-"
"The bridge we've been building so hard to build may be destroyed soon."
