1694 Floating City
"When I first saw this thing, I thought it was a castle-like existence in the sky, but I didn't expect it to be."
The quaint atmosphere was blown away a little by the wind that kept passing in the sky, and the blue sky that broke through the clouds also illuminated the old buildings that were originally a little gloomy and dim more clearly, and the whispers that gradually woke up from the transmitted light then reached out and pressed the long blue hair that was constantly blown away, and let out a low and indifferent sigh: "Very good, make up for my regret at that time." β
"Didn't you take part in that battle at the time? I don't seem to remember. The answer to her was Jian Beidong, who had also just gotten up, with a meaningless face: "Okay, anyway, this time the combat experience is not bad, and I have fought all the battles that I can do, if you are still not satisfied, you can-hmm." β
"Oops!" He suddenly let out a loud cry, and his hands clung to his head as if he had just discovered some tragic result: "I, me, me, my brother!" Did we leave him down there? β
"Who asked you to teach him that way to dodge offline, and really let him use it." pursed his mouth with a disdainful face, replied to his whisper, and then raised his eyebrows: "No, didn't he go online in the end?" β
"Yes, yes." Overjoyed, he let go of his arm, and Jian Beidong then hurriedly searched for his left and right: "In this case, he should have been rescued as well...... Hey, what about people? β
"I guess I was teleported to a different place." The answer was Ning Lan, who didn't know when she returned here: "Miss Fura is best at space magic, her teleportation technique will not be a problem, Mr. Baozitou must have been rescued here, but he hasn't joined us for the time being." β
"Speaking of which, you should know that Fra, right?" As if remembering something, the whisper that put away the Huayan longsword in his hand then turned to the direction of the maid player: "Is she really a dragon?" β
"Of course, Ning Lan has also seen her body." Smiling and tilting her head, Ning Lan replied in a light voice: "If Ning Lan is not mistaken, Miss Fura has always been acting with an injured state, if she can recover from the injured state, that Miss Dragon Clan's strength will definitely be even stronger." β
"The threat of a mere beast tide is definitely not a problem for her."
As she said this, her eyes turned to the side as she stood in front of everyone with her hands in front of her, and she followed her gaze to look at the distant whispers and the others, and then they also included the high-altitude vision that gradually cleared the clouds and mist, and the emerald green grassland, which was gradually swallowed up by the black beast tide, also began to appear around the territory of the Hulun tribe occupied by a large area of steel. As if echoing their departure, the roar and vibration of magic echoed from below the rising settlement, and the steel plates that supported an entire field also slowly moved towards the east with a continuous burst of green light: "Look, they also have a way to move forward." β
"It's been planning for so many years, and there's no way they can't even do it."
Located in another corner of this high-tower complex, Duan Qing, who was also squatting on the edge and looking at this area from afar, also let out his own sigh: "Those of us who are temporarily cramming Buddha's feet can fly away, can they still survive and die here?" You're underestimating this boss-level clan too much. β
"If a large settlement of this size wants to move with so much land, it requires more magical energy than most people can imagine." Naxia, who looked down at this scene, then also issued her own evaluation: "...... Hmph, let's just think they've done a great job. β
"It's a great way to protect the entire clan while addressing the threat of the herd once and for all." Carefully guarding the other side, there was a little imperceptible tremor in Xue Ling's phantom ice's voice: "But I still don't understand why they are so deliberately calculating the Nasu and Wabu tribes. β
"I guess it's because there are too many people."
Forcefully soothing the soreness caused by the long-term spell casting action, Duan Qing's gaze at the scene below still did not change: "It's okay to keep moving, but it's too difficult to survive with so many clansmen, because this form of migration will definitely face difficulties in obtaining food, let alone being an enemy of the entire continent." β
"Their final plan must also be full of the existence of the 'law of the jungle'." Speaking of this, the gray-robed magician's voice also became much heavier: "The strong survive, and the weak are eliminatedβonly by using this screening method can the burden of their entire clan be lightened in a grand manner." β
"You mean to say...... Before, they deliberately beat around, and even forcibly launched the wind wheel cannon, all for the sake of sending people's heads? Xue Ling's originally pale complexion also became a little more serious: "In order to reduce your own population? β
"Look at the location of the makeshift camp they set us up in the first place - that place is clearly at the front of the way the beast tide is coming, isn't it?" Duan Qing stretched out his hand and gestured on the entire grassland map that was still getting smaller in front of him: "They don't want to take so many people with them, but then we suddenly appeared, how can they bring more of us with a heavier burden?" β
"The oracle hidden in the camp, that is, my presence, may also be another reason for their choice." Naxia, who was also soothing on the side, also said her answer: "If this little girl doesn't plan to come forward to save the world at the last moment, then let the Sioux and Wabu who stand in the way die as human walls, and at most some civilians from the west...... I remember that at that time, they had already given the order to evacuate, right? β
"But they still sacrificed a lot of soldiers."
"There will always be people in the clan who disagree with this 'screening' method, including those elders who do not agree with such a plan entirely." Rubbing his chin in reply, Duan Qing also said his conjecture: "Most of the beings like Hu Kedan are also people who don't want to watch other clansmen die, so they also plan to express their position in this way. β
"I've said it before, it's the system β fate that has brought us to this end together, and there's no better way." The gray-robed magician spread his hands and put on a rather helpless look: "So we can only continue to walk on the path they walked out, and forcibly reverse the ending of our burial together." β
"Then the reversal of the outcome is really obvious enough."
Looking in the direction behind him, Xue Lingphantom Ice replied in an indifferent voice, "This won't cause any other problems. β
"I don't know, I don't know if it's right or wrong until I walk out." Duan Qing, who stood up, took a deep breath: "Sometimes it's better not to dwell too much on these things according to the rules of adventurers, follow your own heart, maybe you can come up with more suitable laws, andββ"
"If it weren't for Nahia's presence, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to complete the mortal rituals we learned from the Magic Empire." He stretched out his arms as he gestured in the direction of the tower complex behind him, "The so-called 'Violet Tower Transfer Plan' is even more impossible. β
"I'll correct you: Mortal rituals aren't the preserve of the Magic Empire, and the Mage Council has been studying them for a long time." correcting Duan Qing's words in a loud voice, Naxia on the side then put away her joking expression: "But you're right, the Naxia you saved is indeed the turning point of the whole incident, if you want to save so many people and leave the clutches of the Hulun clan, in addition to eliminating the three words of the Su clan, there is probably only this way." β
"What exactly Surtu and the patriarch of the Hulun tribe talked about at the banquet, we still have no way of knowing." Xue Ling Phantom Ice also exhaled an aura like an orchid: "The price they offered, we can only inquire from Surtuben's mouth." β
"That's just right." Pulling the corners of his mouth, Duan Qing turned to point behind him: "It just so happens that those guys who have never flown are also circling over there now, like confused birds." β
"Let's settle them down first."
**********************************
Just as an ancient ruin had broken into a group of people who had never been here before, the area around the floating towers was reactivated by the breath of the creatures, and the human activity gradually spread around with the tentative movement of the steppe tribes who had been teleported to this area, and finally stopped in front of a line that had been drawn a warning long ago - the purple runes that could be seen kept shining around the magic tower in the middle of the floating city, The lines of magical guardian energy and magic that turned into substance were also flowing in front of everyone like a moat at this time, and the sweat-making energy and the feeling of power that chilled down their backs seemed to be like the intimidation of the most ferocious beasts, forcing them to retreat to the edge of this narrow land: "Clan, patriarch, there seem to be many strange things at work here that we don't know about. β
"It's still a cliff further on, and if you fall down, ......"
"Judging by the distances we've measured before, this should be a circular area, and it doesn't look like any difference from the ruins we've seen in the grasslands beforeβno."
"It's more like a whole ruin has come to life and then they've moved it to the sky."
ββ¦β¦β
Receiving the information from the tribe's warriors one after another, Surtu, who was standing in the center of the crowd, responded to the expectant looks of his clansmen and compatriots with an expressionless face, until the happiness of the rest of his life began to fade in silence and the feeling of uneasiness began to dominate, the titular patriarch finally spoke: "Don't panic, since it was the God who saved us, then the God Lord naturally has already prepared to arrange us. β
"Where is the Divine Messenger?" Then a voice from the restless crowd came out: "She, she's not going to abandon us, is she?" β
"Of course not, trust me." Reaching out and stroking his chest, a touch of composure gradually appeared on Surtu's face: "Since we have regained our chance to survive, we naturally will not waste this opportunity!" Let's rest on the spot first, and the wounded will be placed first, Sutar, count our remaining food and suppliesβ"
"I've counted this before, but because of the divine power of the gods, we were transferred too hastily, so almost all the cattle, sheep and horses belonging to our tribe were left on the ground......
"Don't worry, guys."
Like a savior born out of nowhere, Naxia's voice also appeared above everyone's heads, and she showed her graceful posture through the bright light in the sky, and at this time she also gathered the purple runes that she had been wrapping around her body, easily attracting everyone's attention: "Although it completely follows my personal aesthetics and wishes, the Violet Tower is still a place built in accordance with the laws of human survival, except for the central tower, all other buildings can become your residence." β
"The only problem is...... Ahem, people who don't know how to use magic will have some difficulty when entering these areas. Her voice paused, as if she was forcibly reorganizing her thoughts, which were stuck in place due to some kind of inconsiderate consideration: "But it doesn't matter, adaptation and learning are all processes, you can squeeze in this place for a while, and wait until you fully understand the magical makeup of this area...... Uh, what is the magic make-up? Damn, should I start with the basics of magic? β
"It seems that our god has kept your lord busy."
I don't know when I quietly approached this crowd, and the voice belonging to the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice also appeared next to the figure of Asahi Dongsheng, who was also a member of the Qingling Adventure Group, hidden in the corner of the team: "But at least let them get closer to each other, or become a good opportunity for them to become a tree of power." β
"Whatever you want, I'm going to rest for a while anyway." The dirty face mixed with blood and ash stains was hidden in the tired movement of bowing his head, and Gedmayne, who was sitting in the same corner, waved his hand weakly: "After tossing for so long, even half of my life has been burned out, this glorious mission of cleaning up the aftermath will be given to you first." β
"This guy is old, not like us young people." Also covered in scars and dirt, Sunrise showed his white and brilliant teeth: "Leave him alone, let's take a tour of this new floating city - hey, what about that guy?" β
"He."
Knowing who the other party was referring to, Xue Lingphantom Ice secretly pouted his mouth to the side.
"He's gone to pick up another group."
