Wow –

After a period of silence, the exclamations of the player and the natives of Zaraha City quickly took over every corner of the city, and although the exclamations were different from each other, the direction they looked at the sky was unanimous: "That, that's ...... Castle in the sky? ”

"Such a large piece of land is almost as big as the city of Zaraha......

"Damn, the series in my lifetime, I thought I would never be able to see the biggest secret in this game world in my life, but I didn't expect it...... You guys! Which of you has the means to go up? Think of a way to ......"

"Think of a hairy way, we can't even go up to the suspended platform just now......"

"It seems...... That's what that pillar of light does. ”

Yu retracted his gaze in the excitement of the crowd, and the Flame Legend who was mixed in a corner of the city shook his head lightly, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned behind him, located in the other direction of the western wall of Zaraha City: "They should have been teleported up." ”

"Something so obvious...... I still need you to remind me? The fat thief who came out of the corner of the city wall replied with a look of disdain, "Anyone can guess what it does......"

“…… Are they safe? ”

"How do I know this, and I'm not up there...... Well, he mentioned the underground pipe network in his explanation to us before, is there any way to teleport from there to that high platform? ”

“…… Then let's withdraw first and help them defend for a while, even if it is delayed for a while, it should be enough for them to search the sky. ”

"I'm skeptical that platform is still capable of teleporting, even if I find a possible waypoint......

"We are mercenaries, after all, and with the number of these great guilds in existence, it is only a matter of time before we turn this city upside down."

"The Imperial Army and Hart should help us for a while, and the strength of Bernard and that Tristan is also trustworthy, as long as there is no longer a monster like the woman just now...... Not. ”

The sudden noise and loud command suddenly stopped for a moment, and at the same time, all the people around this area gathered in the air again, and the figure of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice that had just been mentioned by the two people flew up to the high platform again, and then appeared on the edge of the high platform, and fell back with a tense expression of disappointment. The members of the guilds belonging to Jianghu, Vizad and others then began to slowly approach the direction where the woman fell, and at the same time had an intermittent conflict with the members of the Wings of Freedom lurking around, and she kept her head down with her toes tapping the ground, as if she was shocked by the scene that happened in front of her before: "......"

"Yes...... Sister Xue, what should we do now? Looking for a few wind mages? ”

"At such a height, the wind mage can't send the player up safely, right? Let's search the city first to see if there are any ruins or mechanisms that can be used to perform rituals......"

"No need."

Staring directly at the floor under his feet, ignoring the noise around him, Xue Ling's phantom ice gaze became cold again: "It's good that you continue to interfere with their movements, and if you find out about their progress, remember to report back in time......"

"I'll take care of the rest." She gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind: "I'll find a way to get up." ”

“…… Since Sister Xue has said so, then ...... Ah Qiang! You take the people to the tavern to ambush them, and the rest of the two teams come with me, and we go and have a good time with the people in the rivers and lakes!" ”

"Yes!"

"Captain, are we going to send everyone out? The Magic Empire has just sent a message asking us to increase our aid near the central square......"

"I'll go over there."

The words were said in a low voice, and the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice walked in the direction where the night battle began: "Now that their ritual has been completed, then ......"

"Our pillar of light should also play its part."

The sound of increasingly fierce battles began to spread along the perimeter of the area below the west gate with the actions of the various guilds, gradually occupying the main theme of the city bathed in the early morning sun, and they began to become fanatical after retracting their gaze from the continent that covered the sky and the sun above, and surrounded the direction of the other pillar of light in the central square. Violent air fluctuations and screams from time to time then appeared on a certain street leading to the square, and with the snow spirit ice slowly moving forward in the direction of the black pillar of light, she danced her long sword from time to time, and slashed out all those who dared to approach one by one with a posture that seemed to reject the whole world.

Unconsciously, the sound of the system prompt that originally came from the void was like a merciless whisper, repeated in her ear over and over again.

【…… Affected by ...... Interference. 】

【…… Rite...... End...... The completion rate is ...... 89%。 】

【Start in...... Success rate detection, detection ......】

[The test result is passed, and the transfer to Metatron is successful.] 】

Whew-

The cold wind suddenly filled the sound in the ears, and the figures of a man, two women and three people gathered suddenly appeared above the continent in the sky, and then fell to the surface of the city full of ruins with a scream that pierced the sky under the morning light that was almost flat in the distance. Ignoring the miserable fate of her gorgeous magic robe full of sword marks smearing the ground, Christine, who was the first to wake up, then unfolded an ice magic shield to resist the strong wind in the sky, and then in the ice crystals flying out between her hands, she saw a large sea of clouds dyed red by the morning light in the distance: "It seems that ...... That's right. ”

"Ahem, ahem......"

Spit out another mouthful of bright red blood, and Duan Qing, who was lying on the side, replied with the huge trauma on his abdomen, "I didn't expect it...... How would they have escaped death in such a way? ”

“…… Don't move. ”

Looking at Duan Qing's body with a frown, Christine, who had withdrawn the spell casting action, reached out and took out a small package full of magic medicine bottles on her waist: "Although we great magicians don't usually use any healing potions, I still have an extra bottle to spare...... Can you still move? ”

"Thanks. Thank you. ”

With a smile, Duan Qing, who poured down the magic potion handed over and lay back on the ground, felt his body gradually becoming numb and the amount of blood gradually rising: "I finally escaped from the hands of that crazy woman alive, although that guy feels a little ...... Hey? ”

As if feeling a slightly different touch behind him, he wanted to raise his arm and paused slightly, and only after a while did he roll to the side with an embarrassed face in Christine's increasingly frowning brow: "Hug hug sorry, I didn't mean to ......"

"I didn't ...... Affair. ”

As if it was a different person, Ai Yina, who was pressed by Duan Qing, sat up with a smile on her face, and then supported her weak body with a slow movement, and at the same time concealed her reddish expression: "Everyone...... No...... Thing, very good......"

"Ahem...... So, our ceremony was a success? ”

With the coughing voice characteristic of the seriously injured to get past the embarrassment just now, Duan Qing, who was holding his stomach, looked around here with difficulty: "Have we arrived at Sky City now?" ”

"That's right."

Retracting her gaze, Christine replied in a nonchalant voice, "No matter what this follower of yours has done......"

"We've found the city that only exists in legends."

Weathered walls, scattered bricks, incomplete houses with unique styles, and ancient streets vaguely surrounded by these houses - following Christine's outstretched fingers, the outline of a city also appeared in front of Duan Qing and the three of them, and the scene of ruins full of ancient atmosphere did not hide the magnificence and greatness of this place, but made the runes and carvings carved on the floor and brick walls more eye-catching. Through the illumination of the obscured morning sun at the far end, Duan Qing could also see that these streets surrounded by bricks and tiles extended to the end of the sky, and the streets at the same angle also continued to extend to both sides along the edge of the city-land plate there, gathering in a scattered shape towards the center of a certain square in the center of the city.

"That place ......"

The terrain rose sharply in that direction, and the endless staircase that could not be fully encompassed by the view occupied the other end of the square, and a huge gate that had appeared in the middle of the game also spread with those steps and the city walls, like a jewel embedded in the center of the backlit and dim: "...... I've seen that place. ”

"Where have you seen now...... I wouldn't be surprised. ”

Gradually walked to the front of the three people, Christine, who was also looking in that direction, took the lead in exclaiming herself: "After all, you are the child of destiny, if it weren't for you, we might have been preempted by those restorationists." ”

"Uh...... Ahahahaha. ”

Grabbing the back of his head and laughing dryly, Duan Qing finally chose to perfunctory his source: "Anyway...... I've never been to the city before, so I don't know what it is. ”

"It's okay, let's explore it together."

Staring intently at the tall buildings in the center of the city behind the barrier woven by the steps and the city walls, Christine's voice finally showed a hint of excitement: "I can't guarantee that I know more about this place than you do, but ......"

"The Mage Council has been pursuing this place for far too long."

The ice-colored magic shield in his hand continued to spread outward little by little, and the archmage's gaze gradually intertwined with the light and shadow of the distant sunlight: "From Heraya to Falling Star Mountain, from Anta Town to Zaraha City...... For so many years, we have been searching for this isolated island hidden in the sky, and there are many secrets about the Magic Empire that can be found out that are closely related to the four words 'Metatron', but no matter how much Jin pursues the corresponding magical structure, how long he has observed the summit of Falling Star Mountain, this city has never appeared in our magical observations......"

"Until now." She turned around, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face stained with dust and blood: "You are really a person who is good at creating miracles, Mo Shangqingshan." ”

"It's nothing compared to what I've just experienced." Duan Qing, who was quietly recovering his strength, sighed in a low voice, "So...... Can the Tower of Tyranny matter be overturned? ”

"If you are not willing to continue to exonerate your 'companion...... Yes. ”

Putting away the smile on her face, Christine turned around in a low voice: "Now, I'm afraid you can't find any suitable excuse for what that woman did, right?" ”

"She just has some ...... for me personally Opinion. Swallowing and opening his mouth, Duan Qing finally suppressed his emotions: "Forget it, since we have come to this point, it is better for us to focus on the present first...... Hmm, why don't you go now? Where do we start...... Hey? ”

As he spoke, he tried to get up with all his strength, but his body, which had just suffered a heavy blow, fell to the side in disobedience, almost hitting the ancient wall next to him. In the whistling cold wind that was almost close to his ears, a pair of slender hands then reached Duan Qing's side in time, but the action of trying to lift Duan Qing up was disappointed in the sparkle and fluctuations after passing straight through: "You ......"

"What's wrong with you?"

Looking at the emerald green light that gradually appeared on those arms, Duan Qing, who was sitting on the ground, fell his surprised gaze on Ayina's body, who hesitated slightly, and then raised the transparent arm like a spirit in front of him: "I...... Ayina ...... I ......"

"I ...... I'm fine. Her voice trembled, but her heaving chest gradually stabilized: "Yes...... Yes, the ceremony...... Target...... Role ......"

“…… What is the role of ritual? Duan Qing, who didn't care about his injuries, suddenly got up from the ground: "What are the side effects of that ritual?" ”

"Deputy ...... Function? ”

As if unable to understand the meaning of these words combined, Ayina blinked her eyes, and after a while, she lowered her head slightly sadly in the silence that gradually spread around her: "...... It should be, because of the ritual ...... No...... Complete ......"

"Ceremonial ...... No...... Done, so ...... My body ...... Also...... No...... Complete ......"

Reading out the unacceptably surprising conclusion word by word, she put her hands behind her back, which were gradually becoming transparent, behind Duan Qing and Christine, who could not be seen: "No need...... Worried, I ...... Done...... Mission. ”

"Here...... Instructions, too...... To...... I'll do it. ”

She pointed to the huge silhouette of the sky city behind them, and smiled like the morning sun at them.
