856 Difficult to accept, easy to find

The scattered energy finally turned into starlight in the sky, and disappeared in front of Duan Qing with countless shining tracks, and bits and pieces of emerald green energy then fell back into the hall that had become silent again, and sucked back into the square in front of Duan Qing with the warm sound of the wind. It seemed that it could not withstand the powerful energy emitted from its body before, and the small stone pillar that was originally used as a playback device had also turned into fragments scattered all over the place at this time, and the magic glow that gradually disappeared on it did not attract the attention of Duan Qing who was standing in place, but only caused a trace of spatial fluctuations and then slowly passed away: "......"

"Looks like you've found something amazing."

In the slight footsteps that gradually approached, Christine's cold voice then came behind Duan Qing with her unique cold aura: "But I must remind you that in order to prepare for future research, it is more appropriate for you to try to maintain the original appearance of this place......

"I have a question."

A low voice interrupted the other party's words, and Duan Qingtou, who slowly stood up holding the Stone of Orkonos, asked without looking back, "I...... Why is it called a child of destiny? ”

“…… Didn't Lorna explain it to you? Raising her eyebrows slightly, Christine, who hesitated for a moment, chuckled: "Although you are an adventurer, you have the ability to change your fate, and most of the history you have created now is a new end that even the weavers of fate did not foresee......

"That's why you chose me?"

Interrupting the other party's words again, Duan Qing expressionlessly pointed to Aiina's ice cube that was still placed next to him: "She, you, and these people who have never met before...... Even if it is unfounded, without trust, you are willing to put some kind of wonderful expectation on me for a whole bunch of inexplicable reasons? ”

“…… Why, don't you want such expectations? ”

Looking at the back of the man who was gradually standing up, Christine, who stepped forward, replied with a somewhat questioning look in her tone: "After Shanna was rescued in Free City, she conveyed a lot of information to the Council of Seven to prove you, including her nomination of you as the Void Librarian, and the promise she made after the incident at the Tower of Tyranid......"

“……”

"Maybe we should give you more options, but ...... You know, your reputation on the Mage's side has been tarnished for some reason. Looking at the back of Duan Qing, who didn't say a word, Christine smiled and stretched out her arms: "But now that I have discovered Sky City, everything has been ......."

"No, I don't want that."

Raising his hand to interrupt the other party's words, Duan Qing, who slowly turned around, revealed a calm expression on his face: "Whether it's you, or someone like Ayina...... Rather than pinning all your hopes on me, the so-called child of destiny, I hope you will do it better yourself. ”

"I'd rather ...... It's better for you to live on your own. ”

He turned his head to stare at the singer girl with her eyes closed tightly in the ice sculpture, and then slowly lifted Ayina's body up in the silence that gradually dispersed between the giant stone pillars. The silent air then followed Duan Qing's departing figure and reoccupied the surroundings of the hall, accompanied by Christine's increasingly crystalline eyes, she looked at the man's footsteps shrouded in green fluorescence as if she was dead silent, and only after a while did she make her own inquiring voice: "You...... Where to go? ”

“……”

Without answering the other party's words, the green light belonging to Duan Qing then disappeared into a corner of the hall in front of her, and Christine, who was left in place, did not show any look of shame, but the pace of keeping up gradually accelerated a little. The faint blue light from the tip of the aqua blue staff then quickly came to the same corner of the hall, illuminating a small side door that appeared there, and with a blink of an eye, she gently raised her left hand around the long hair on her forehead, and walked up the stairs in the direction Duan Qing had left before: "This is ......"

"Where?"

After a few more turnaround steps, she came to another ancient room to which the passage pointed, and then, in the slightest vibration from the sound of vibrations around her, she took in the sight of coffins neatly arranged around her. The Great Magician, who was attracted by this scene for a moment, quickly retracted his attention, and turned his gaze to the corner where the green light was, Duan Qing, who had already put the ice sculpture aside, was constantly examining next to one of the coffins at this time, as if looking for a way to open it.

"I noticed some detail in one of the images I saw earlier."

As if sensing Christine's gaze, Duan Qing, who didn't look up, explained in a low voice: "When Frey the Great invaded this place, several people who had been injured before were being transported to other places by their companions, it should have been the end of the war, and many people who had been injured needed to be treated......"

"Now it seems that this is the place where they used to treat the wounded." He fumbled for the huge stone box in front of him like a coffin, and his eyes staring at it didn't move for a minute: "They should have carried those wounded here, and then ...... Hmm, how should this thing be used? ”

"Even if they were able to use them, they would have lost their source of energy." Christine, who stepped forward, said in a deep voice, "A thousand years of time...... Even if these devices do work, the people inside should be ......."

"I don't care what happens to the people inside, I just care if it works."

Pushing the surface of the sarcophagus hard, Duan Qing continued in a low voice, "As long as it can be used now, there is still hope for Aiina. ”

“…… I don't want to dampen your resolve, but do you know how Aina is doing? Christine shook her head: "A part of her body was lost in the previous ritual transfer, an irreversible loss!" Unless there is a miracle, ......"

“…… Alas. ”

Looking at Duan Qing, who hadn't listened at all, was still looking for something, Christine, who let out a sigh, turned around and walked out between the sarcophagi next to her: "You wait here, I'll find out if there are any other activation devices......

Boom!

A loud tremor then appeared behind Christine, who had just turned around, in the gap between Duan Qing and the coffin, and the stone lid of the sarcophagus that had been hit by a huge force then flew towards the dark depths of the room above, making a deafening sound of boulder rolling. Ignoring the damage caused by the huge coffin lid, Duan Qing, who had withdrawn his fist, poked his head into the sarcophagus, and then after ignoring the terrifying aura that came to his nose, he dragged out a certain skeleton lying in it: "...... How do I start it? ”

“…… It's all said to make you wait. ”

Sighing helplessly, Christine, who looked back at Duan Qing, turned around and continued her search: "Let me see...... The magic lines appear to be laid within the floor here, but the circuits used are complex, and they first designed a brake switch to block the flow of energy here......"

"And then here, here, and ...... Over here. Her staff moved back and forth at her forward feet, finally stopping at the center of the room: "The backflow converges in this place, and this is probably the control center of this place. ”

"But it's an open space." Duan Qing, who lifted the ice sculpture, replied, "Has it been destroyed?" ”

"I don't know, let me try first."

Raising her staff, Christine condensed the magical energy contained in her body: "As long as the simulation is done properly......"

"A magic array without a magic device can be activated."

The extremely cold ice qi suddenly dispersed into the space around the room as the words fell, accompanied by the action of the great magician in the blue robe slamming the staff in his hand to the ground, and several ancient stones also flew outward as the end of the staff poked into the ground, accompanied by a powerful air current that was enough to blow Christine's long blue hair high and flew towards the surroundings of the room. Duan Qing, who slightly covered his face and ignored the impact of the rubble and the cold air, then fell on the ice-blue light that gradually radiated from the center of the room, and they slowly formed their own symbols as they gradually spread like circuits, and finally stood upright against the surface of the surrounding sarcophagus with a magical hum: "This ......"

"It should be fine, right?"

With the characteristic sound of another heavy object falling to the ground, he placed Aina's body into the sarcophagus that was gradually starting to glow, and then looked at the light that continued to appear on the surface of the ice that immediately began to melt, and his expression gradually became nervous. The mysterious runes of the Dao Dao then gradually shrouded the top of the sarcophagus with countless flying lines, reflecting a strange and strange light towards the ceiling, and it was not until those strange lights began to merge with the mysterious runes emerging from the surface of Ayina's body that he gradually exhaled a cold breath: "Sure enough, it is a tribe, I'm afraid they have all passed the certification mechanism......

"The magic of the Ocritic clan is full of runes of all kinds, before I came into contact with Miss Aina...... I think so. Christine, who was still standing not far away, pressed her staff with both hands and said, "A large number of traces left by them have been found on the Falling Star Mountain, and they are mainly green colors that represent the wind element, but now it seems that they have probably learned how to use healing magic......

"No, the entire Ancient Magic Empire should have understood how to use healing magic." Speaking of this, she lowered her head slightly: "How did such a magical empire fail...... It's really hard for me to imagine. ”

"Anyway, I'm very grateful to them for being able to stay that way."

Looking at the pale body that was wrapped in countless strange lights after the ice melted, Duan Qing, who had checked the follower's attribute panel, slowly stood up: "Since the Sky Clan has passed down the power to heal the soul, they must have some way to heal the body......

"Look at the other sarcophagi around, I can't guarantee that this will actually work."

Leaning slightly towards her body, Christine showed her mature smile under the blue light in front of Duan Qing: "Although I would be happy to be able to experiment with the effects of these devices myself, I can't guarantee that I will be able to stay in this magical healing array forever......"

“…… How long can you hold out? ”

"Maybe a few hours, maybe shorter, after all, accidents can happen here at any time, and I must keep enough magic to deal with it......"

"What will happen to Aina if this device is interrupted?"

“…… I don't know, I can't guarantee it. ”

"I'm going to find a power source."

Lowering his head and pondering for a while, Duan Qing turned around and walked towards the stairs where they came: "During this time...... Please. ”

"I don't care, but...... Can you do it alone? ”

"I'll do my best."

The voice gradually disappeared into the dark depths ahead, and Duan Qing, who could no longer be seen by Christine, gradually disappeared in front of the passage: "I once said...... Your survival is my hope now. ”

"It's also a guarantee for adventurers, and we'...... Always talking. ”

“…… Scold. ”

A deep sigh then appeared in the center of the room, and gradually echoed towards the front with Christine smiling and closing her eyes, but Duan Qing, who had returned to the hall, did not pay attention to the meaning of the sigh, and instead came to the center of the hall reflected in the image he had seen before. Squatting down slightly, his gaze kept carefully scanning all the traces that could be detected, and finally after a period of discernment, he took another step forward: "Since you killed everyone as soon as you appeared......"

"Where are you going next?"

He looked up at the middle of the staircase in front of him, and after a period of close proximity and observation, he found several unnatural signs of destruction. The calm footsteps then began to move in the direction where these traces extended, and Duan Qing's figure returned to the entrance that was full of overload energy circuits before, and the pipeline that had been repaired by Christine was also emitting a soft white glow at this time, and then as Duan Qing's line of sight extended forward, it was cut off at the edge of the closed gate directly in front of him.

“…… This is it. ”

He stepped forward and kicked open the door that seemed to be extremely heavy, but in fact it had been removed: "If you want to really make the city in the sky fall, the most effective way is ......"

"It's destroying the engine."
