Chapter 375: The Far Away Quest XIV
A blind sand thief brought Mahazar to the corpses with missing arms and legs, pointed to the fragments and said, "Come and see, boss, that's how it is, and although I don't understand, I always feel that it is not a good sign." ”
The King of the Sand Thieves was squinting at wisps of red smoke rising from the corpses. He drew his scimitar, held it in one hand, and fiddled through the pile of corpses. At this moment, a stumbling sand thief ran from afar, out of breath and looking ecstatic. "Boss, we're attacking!"
But Mahazar only looked at the one-eyed sand thief faintly and asked, "When did you find out?" ”
"It's just now."
"They asked me to sort out the corpses, young people always lose a lot of loot, so I'll put them all here, that's the thing, so boss, what should we do?"
Mahazar was about to answer, but suddenly attracted attention to a faint golden thread that appeared in the sky in his eyes. Beneath the towering towers there, the Sand Thieves were pouring up the walls, cutting off the heads of those who weren't yet dead, pushing the headless corpses off the walls, and white light soon rose from beneath them.
And on the sky behind the tower, with the black oppressive clouds as the background, the golden thread was really slowly extending.
Until, across the night sky.
"What's that?" Mahazar suddenly turned around and asked.
"What, Boss?" The one-eyed sand thief smacked his lips.
"I asked you what it was?" Mahazar let out a roar: "Let the people above pull down!" ”
But it was too late.
The golden thread that slowly stretched forward had turned into a shooting star.
It was getting faster and faster, and the hull of the ship was shaking more and more violently, and it was no longer even shaking, but making a deafening creaking sound, like every plank, every rivet, fighting for its own independence and about to be torn apart.
But in this system that is about to collapse, there is an extremely indifferent gaze.
Luo Yu had a rare peace in his heart at this moment, although he was not a person who liked to talk more and do less on weekdays, Mu Ne was the word he heard the most since he was a child, and the other, about excellent, in the eyes of others, he was about the most perfect, someone else's child.
But saying less and doing more does not mean that there are no stirring feelings in the heart, otherwise you may not be able to embark on such a path - although more or less, there are also factors influenced by parents, familiar and familiar, and it is inevitable to want to be like your parents, imitating and gaining recognition, which is about the first motivation for many people in childhood.
But at this moment, he gathered the mixed thoughts and complicated feelings in his heart, and only stared at the altimeter on the magic furnace, the needle shaking in a trembling - the principle of the Aitaria altimeter is used to calculate the amount of wind elements in the air at different altitudes, and on the whole, it is quite accurate - and at this moment, the number pointed by the needle is beating downward in units of a hundred per second.
Seven hundred, six hundred, five hundred......
But it was as if the number had become a mere number.
Luo Yu's hand was terrifyingly steady, and he turned the three copper rings on the crystal base in turn, setting the detonation time for the last exploding crystal. But instead of putting the crystals back into the fixed square, he just held them in his hands, and the hundreds of crystals would detonate sequentially within a delay of 0.1 to 2 seconds, to avoid the time of the aether shock.
Everything is ready, as long as the airship can enter the predetermined position at the allotted time-
However, how much is the possibility of the latter, at least in Luo Yu's opinion, everything is certain.
The chirping girl came to his mind, always full of enthusiastic energy, the opposite of himself.
In the dark underbelly of the swamp ruins, in the ancient temples, in the dense jungle, the other party seems to have endless energy, chattering,-for-tat with Parker, blinking at him, expressing curiosity about his spells, and calling him 'our hero'.
Hero, that's exactly how parents interpret this profession.
It is also the root cause of his pursuit.
From the Academy in Tapolis to the present, he has seen only ordinary call-ups, and has never seen any 'heroes'. The 'heroes' under the halo were too far away from him, and it was difficult for him to define what a 'hero' was before he met the plover.
But now, it should be counted—
Father, mother.
He couldn't help but think of that gentle word:
"The first time, it's going to be a little sudden."
"In that world, people will be careful to cherish their opportunities as much as they cherish everything in this world."
"But what do people always give......"
"Passively, or actively."
"When you learn to make trade-offs, you're truly growing. With this experience, maybe you will really understand the world. ”
The pointer on the altimeter jumped suddenly, and crossed the number three hundred, which was the lowest height off the ship set by Fang Yu for him—
A blue-blue flame jumped out from the overloaded magic furnace, and the blue wind element, the moment it touched the air, turned into a bright flame, it extended backwards, lit the sails, and the long flame, like unfurling a golden flag, hunted in the wind.
Luo Yu looked at the flag.
……
"Luo Yu, jump ship."
"Luo Yu?"
"Luo Yu, are you there?"
"Luo Yu!?"
Fang Yu suddenly raised his head and looked at the flaming wind ship in the distance, slowly falling towards Questak - it was because of the distance that gave him such an illusion.
The sound of the wind lingered in his ears, and the cyan wind elemental wings behind him had been stretched to the extreme, and he looked not far away, Luo Hao, the box and several guards of the Sand King, Ye Hua was in the other direction, and the tail feathers brought by the wind element were only like a long cyan tail mark.
A premonition of unease flashed through his mind. "Box, Luo Hao, help me call Luo Yu, there seems to be a problem with my communication system-"
"Luo Yu, the captain is calling you."
"Luo Yu, are you there?"
"Luo Yu?"
Fang Yu held the communication crystal tightly in his hand, but all that came back from the squad channel in his ears was a quiet noise, and the box above the background sound, Luo Hao's deep call, listening to this voice, he seemed to suddenly understand that his communication system was not broken.
But all the calls were muddy and there was no response.
Fang Yu looked in that direction in a daze, and finally heard the somewhat calm, familiar voice:
"I'm here."
After a while, the voice came up with a clumsy excuse:
"Something went wrong."
"I'll see you in a moment, everybody."
The flaming dinghy is like a meteor falling to the horizon, bright and dazzling.
Fang Yu gritted his teeth and watched this scene silently.
At that moment, he suddenly understood something in his heart, it was a young man's choice, and it was also a man's choice.
……
The sand thieves on the walls seem to have been caught in a time magic.
In that strange scene, they passed through the city, rushing forward like a black tide, but in an instant, they all stopped. Everyone turned around in unison, stretched their necks, and looked at the wonder of the sky, like a statue made of stone, and only turned their necks stiffly—
Their gaze, with the billowing flames that descended from mid-air, the airship had completely turned into a ball of fire, just like a meteorite falling from the sky, with a long tail flame, whistling from above the city, from the top of each of them.
That scene fell on the eyes of everyone who witnessed this moment, and it happened a little 'slowly', like watching the fire slowly pass through the sky, slowly cross their heads, slowly fall to the side of the battlefield, and fall to the towering spire.
As the flaming airship slowly staggered past them, everyone seemed to have the illusion that they felt a gaze watching each of them on the ship.
And in that conversation, there was actually a silent observer.
Sky Blue was already in tears, her hands trembled and she could barely hold the big sword in her hand, she wanted to cry loudly, because in the end, she still didn't change everything.
But someone helped her change-
It was a snowfall in Dulun, and it was a little dazzlingly white.
It is a ceremonial flower blooming in the night sky, like a flickering flame of light, reflected in the hearts of teenagers and girls.
It was a bouquet of holly branches with the most beautiful flowers of that winter night.
It is an old promise, a promise with a teenager.
With a blur of tears in her eyes, Azure watched as the flame stretched to the end of her vision.
Then time flowed again, and the ancient magic seemed to lose its usefulness, and meteors streaked across the night sky and crashed towards the very center of the battlefield.
It was the brightest light.
The bright light, also reflected on Mahazar's face, was a snow-white color.
In the midst of the loud noise, the whole world seemed to fall silent. The blind old sand thief, gesturing with his hands, seemed to want to say something, but he could only see his mouth open and closed, but he couldn't make any sound. Mahazar pushed the man away and walked over to his sand lizard.
But the shock wave hit head-on, and the dust rolled up, like a thick wall, swept across. The king of the sand thieves raised his hand in front of him, lowered his head, and let out a sharp whistle, as if returning to the sound of this world.
He heard a few sharp thuds, screams from the sand thieves, and then a loud noise of heavy objects falling to the ground and colliding with a human body against something.
The sand obscured everything, darkening the whole world.
……
The aristocratic lady turned and stared at the bright light in the darkness.
Her expression seemed a little calm, and her eyes like shallow sea also sank into a dark color, but under the depth, there was still a little starlight reflected.
The sound of a violent explosion, as if it had taken a moment, came from afar, and the ground trembled slightly, causing the palace to rustle and fall with dust and debris in disrepair.
Sylvade looked at the dark red crystal in her hand, which originally belonged to Ai Xiaoxiao, and quietly listened to the conversation coming from inside, and then she gathered it in her palm, raised her head, and walked forward.
In the deep palace there, a young girl ran out in a panic with her skirt. She looked at the noble lady in front of her with a pale face, and asked with a look of incredulity, "Sylvide, why are you still staying in Cuestak, it's not safe here at all." ”
"And you dare to come to this place, don't you know, are they looking for you......?"
The girl grabbed Sylvid's hand and dragged her out.
But she had only taken a step before she stopped and looked out a little embarrassed. "That's right...... It's not safe outside, and those sand thieves may be about to attack later, and the envoys haven't made up their minds yet, so they are going out to help...... Or take an airship to avoid the risks here......"
"They don't think the Sand King is here, and they don't have any responsibility for everything here......"
She suddenly grabbed her hair: "By the way, what am I telling you to do this...... Sylvide, I've got to find a way to hide you......"
The aristocratic lady smiled slightly.
"Don't bother, Florence."
The girl was slightly stunned and looked up at her.
"Just do me a favor.
……
The light is fading.
The battlefield of the battle seemed to be quiet for a moment. After the light dissipated, the sand thieves disappeared for a moment, disappearing without a trace, just like the tower that originally stood above the battlefield, leaving only the smoke and dust, and the emptiness behind the smoke.
Princess Celestia gently reached out and wiped the blood from her face, but only a stain was left there, and she held the sword in her hand and watched the scene quietly.
All the knights around her, as well as the palace guards in the distance, watched the scene.
Alepf also watched the scene, and the ministers behind him, and in that place, Alyssa did not say a word, only clutched the communication crystal in her hand. Everyone seemed to want to see from behind the smoke and dust that they hoped for, that the king of the sand thieves, Mahazar, had been blown up in that place.
The sand pirates should be in chaos, maybe they will collapse as a result, and the battlefield is a place where anything can happen.
Princess Rupert clenched her fist slightly.
She couldn't help but think of the meeting a long time ago, those adventurers, who were personally introduced to her by Achilles.
The young man among them, in fact, she had met once, on the transmission crystal in the palace, about the battle of Van Rik, among the high-ranking nobles of Istanya, quite a while - because the dark dragon Nicol Bolas had more or less some connection with this ancient country.
The other party had also saved her sister once in Idus, and that alone would make her look at these people with admiration.
But she never imagined that Cuestak, as well as the ancient kingdom above this sea of sand, would have such a moment of dependence and dependence on these Chosen One.
A miracle has happened -
But will it continue?
But Marlan, the goddess of war and victory, and Andoma, the gatekeeper of life and death, apparently did not shelter the land again.
Suddenly, everyone heard the whining of trumpets on the battlefield.
Like an ancient and low whimper, it echoed across the battlefield, as if it was a giant dragon, emitting a long dragon groan from the distant horizon. Those long years are all hidden under the sound of this long trumpet, like thousands of horses galloping, snow-bright scimitars, countless gray cloaks, swept over the silver sand dunes.
That's the symbol of the sand pirates.
It was the low sound of the dragon's horn trombone, the horn of the king of the sand thieves, and it came from a dragon horn from ancient times.
Everyone's heart sank.
Mahazar did not die.
This means that the battle is far from over. Princess Rupert looked behind her, there were countless wounded knights, squires and guards, and everyone's somewhat blank gaze also fell on Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. The feeling of just rising hope and then falling into the valley makes everyone feel a little uncomfortable.
But Her Royal Highness only waved the sword in her hand vigorously: "They're back." ”
"Back to Kashan Palace, we have one last chance."
"Istanians, listen to me."
"We won't give up."
The voice of the girl Qingyue echoed on the battlefield at this moment, and fluttered far away.
……
Azure wiped away her tears, like a real knight, gritting her silver teeth and standing in front of the sand thieves.
After the previous explosion, the sand thieves' minds had not cleared up for a while, but in the face of this little girl blocking the way, they were also a little disappreciative for a while, so they only pulled out the scimitars in their sheaths and surrounded them in this direction.
Tianlan was terrified to the extreme, but just a voice made her hold on, trying not to turn around and run away. "Sky Blue, you must be here, face your enemies." She raised her long sword and swung it with some panic, but it was still too early, and the sword was only slashed into the air.
It's just that the sand thieves can't laugh.
Because after the sword light.
The sand thief in front of the sky blue shook slightly, and it was cut into two.
A hand was placed on the shoulder of Sky Blue, which was a rather gentle gaze, and its owner gently pressed the little girl's shoulder, and said, "Don't be afraid, leave it to me here." ”
Ye Hua turned around and threw it away, throwing the blood-stained short sword to the ground with a bang. Then he raised his head and looked at the group of sand thieves in front of him, and the gaze in his eyes was not actually the enemy, but this burning city far away in the sky.
"Let's go together."
"Save me time."
And at that moment, on the other side of the battlefield.
Fang Yuan also landed gently, he only pulled hard, pulled off the glider backpack behind him, and threw it away.
Then he looked up, and apparently many people noticed the movement in this direction, and the sand thieves turned around one after another, and their eyes fell on him.
Fang Yu looked at these people and gently placed his hand on the pitch-black crystal on his chest.
The next moment, a golden starlight was reflected in everyone's eyes.
"Fire Djinn."
"Sortie."
