Chapter 1105: Ice City (3)
On the outside, Ice Castle looks like an ordinary luxurious castle, but the exterior is covered with a large amount of blue 'ice', but the interior is a standard stone structure.
And there is no need to worry about lighting, on both sides of Ann Yizhi's head, a row of golden lights in the shape of a 'beating flame' floats there, not fixed with anything.
The soft, bright light they emit illuminates the surroundings, and even if one or two lights are not in good condition and cause the lights to flicker and flicker, it is harmless overall.
An Yizhi looked up at the roof, but he could only see a brilliant galaxy, and he couldn't see any roof structure at all, and the corridor was too big for a full-sized luxury castle.
"Expanding the space?"
"It's not just about space expansion."
Hella emphasizes:
"Techniques such as space folding are also used here, and the galaxy above is actually an endless void, which is not only what it looks like, but also an endless void."
At the end, Hela also reminded An Yizhi that he must not die casually, he will really die miserably if he fools around here.
An Yizhi naturally understands, but how useful can Hela's reminder be......
That's another story.
Follow this wide corridor where you can see the endless void, and if you look closely, you can see some fine dust under the walls.
In fact, all that dust is gold dust, and the ancient elves like to paint the interior of the room with a layer of gold paint to show their dignity, but even with the protection of the lock, the gold paint has almost fallen off, leaving only some golden traces in the cracks.
If An Yizhi collected the dust and smelted it casually, he might be able to get a lot of hard currency like gold, but instead of collecting these things, An Yizhi wanted something more valuable, so he didn't do it.
This corridor is surprisingly long, and the distance it has traveled is already more than the diameter of the castle, which is obviously a spatial expansion.
Nearly 10,000 years ago, the corridors were walked by envoys from other mortal races, who had traveled to the Ice City with their most precious gifts to meet Mana Mora, the greatest mage of the Elder Elves, even though their gifts were not worth mentioning in the latter's eyes.
The road that An Yizhi has traveled is the one that those messengers have walked, and the difference is only that things are right and wrong.
Ten thousand years is enough time to make the vicissitudes of life, even with the protection of the lock, the ice city is the same as before, but you can still feel the loneliness brought by time.
The surroundings were quiet, and An Yizhi seemed to pass by a beast that did not want to wake up from his sleep, and there was no sound except for the rustle of him walking across the carpet, and the air was oppressive and terrifying.
An Yizhi himself is also cautious, and basically takes a step to look back, which greatly reduces his movement speed.
It's not that he's afraid that a ghost will come out or something to scare him, if an undead creature really runs out, An Yizhi will definitely send a ray of yang flame to his face and send it to the western sky.
It's mainly the bad taste of the ancient elves, such as Rolling Stones, Rolling Stones, and ......., Rolling Stones.
The ghost knows why the ancient elves are particularly fond of rolling stones, and every time he goes to the ruins of the ancient elves, An Yizhi will always be tormented by the rolling stones, scratching his ears and cheeks, and this simple trap has become An Yizhi's lifelong enemy like a labyrinth.
It's just that there have been no traps and no traces of any monsters so far, and An Yizhi's vigilance is considered a white vigilance.
If you think about it carefully, since this road has been walked by many mortal messengers of other races, no matter how funny the ancient elves are, they will not make jokes on the messengers, and the rolling stones with spells attached to them will definitely kill people!
So Ann walked in fear for a while, without activating any traps, until he came to a doorway.
It was a large arched doorway that matched the wide corridor, and instead of a metal doorway, it was a gauze curtain that looked like gold thread, glittering in the light.
But if you reach for it, you can't touch anything, it's just an ornamental magic effect.
Confirming that there was no danger, Ann stepped across the curtain with his cane in his fingers.
"The Eight Achievements here are the Interview Room."
Behind the curtains was a place more exaggerated than the wide corridor, which covered an area of at least a thousand square meters, and was painted with intricate patterns on both the walls and the floor, except for the golden light of the endless void and magic that could still be seen overhead.
If Ann Yizhi flies up now, to a height where he can see the entire interview room, he will find that those patterns form a huge World Tree, and the entrance is at the 'root' of the World Tree.
What is more conspicuous than these patterns is the scenery opposite Ann Yizhi.
A row of huge flags large enough to cover a building fluttered in the wind under the influence of magic, and it was emblazoned with a swirling tricolor diamond-shaped insignia, which was Mana Mora's magic insignia.
In the center of the banner is a huge throne comparable to a small mountain, which is almost as big as an office building, not to mention a humanoid creature to sit on, or too big for a giant.
The height of the seat is high enough for An Yizhi to sit on like a chair, but the top of its tapering triangular backrest extends all the way up, reaching a height of more than 30 meters or even more than 50 meters, which is difficult to judge more concretely.
In the heyday of the Elder Elves, Mannamora sat on this incomparably large throne to receive emissaries from various mortal races, and at that time, the place where Ann Yizhi was now standing was full of envoys from other races, and the walls of the interview room were also covered with war colossias with challenge levels of 50 or more.
It's just that now when An Yizhi came, it was empty and there was nothing, and the only thing left was the dead thing that was protected by the mystery lock and did not fail.
"Mannamora is one of the few powerful people in the Elder Elves who have the most favorable feelings for humans, so most of the messengers who come here are from various human cities, some of them hope that Mannamora will arbitrate disputes, and some pray that she can destroy a monster that is causing trouble, and Manna Mora will generally not refuse reasonable requests."
"Why does she have the most affection for humans?"
The Elder Elves generally believed that the other mortal races were not worth mentioning except for the Elves, and although they were all of good quality and upbringing, and did not classify other races as inferior, they usually did not respond to requests from other races.
"Because in Mana Mora's view, humans are quite incredible creatures."
Hela Says:
"There are countless planes in the multiverse world, and not every plane has ancient elves, but as long as it is a plane suitable for survival, there are human beings."
Ann was stunned, this is indeed an incredible place.
For example, the dungeon world he had been to not long ago was as civilized as after the First Industrial Revolution, although there were elves there, but there were no floating cities of the Elder Elves, and their local elves were closer to the kind of concepts that people had in their minds, rather than the branches left by the Elder Elves.
Even that plane has no other gods involved, only a one-eyed goddess who never performs any miracles.
This is not a special case, once the base is enlarged to the extent of infinity, there are countless similar planes, but no matter how strange these planes are, as long as they are suitable for survival, there must be human beings.
"Manna Mora is very interested in this, she has done a lot of research for this, guessing that human beings are actually creatures that have recently received the image of the creation god of the entire multiverse world, or it is possible that the creation god is a human being made in his own image, so at the beginning of the birth of the world, human beings were the first intelligent beings to appear in various planes, which is the highest honor that even the first dragon clan to be created does not have."
Humans, is it the existence of such a dick?
From a gaming point of view, the human race is the most versatile, with no weaknesses or special strengths, and the only advantage is that it is not penalized by experience gains like other races.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that more than seventy percent of the most powerful people in the mortal world are humans, and even if the scope is narrowed down to the category of the most powerful spellcasters, more than half of them are short-lived humans, which is quite incredible in the eyes of other races, after all, the lifespan of humans is difficult to support their research on esoteric and time-consuming spells, but the facts are in front of us, which shows the unique superiority of the human race.
And don't forget, humans are the only race with the ability to 'eclectic', and the bloodline of humans can be fused with the bloodline of any intelligent race, regardless of whether the other party is human or not, or even whether the other party is humanoid or not, as can be seen from the dragonmen running around the world.
Or take Ann's finger as an example, he has the power of the dragon and the vampire ancestor, and it is absolutely impossible for other races to coexist, because the power of both the dragon and the vampire ancestor has a strong exclusivity, in the game's terminology, it is absolutely impossible to obtain the characteristics of the vampire after having the heart of the dragon, and the system will prompt that it cannot be learned.
What's more, the True Ancestor of Vampires is a special species that is only born among pure-blooded humans, and it is not unreasonable to regard them as mutated humans.
Hella continues:
"Mannamora believes that as long as the mysteries of humans are revealed, the ancient elves can indeed touch the creator of the World Tree, the long-lost creator god, so Manna Mora has a good impression of humans and is willing to respond to humans' reasonable requests."
An Yizhi felt that Manna Mora probably regarded humans as the existence of a mythical beast like a grass mud horse......
As he spoke, An Yizhi had already walked to the huge throne.
The reason for Ann's finger was not only because it was too big, but also because the throne was inlaid with so many colorful gems.
Some are large and small, some are the size of a fist, some are the size of a grain of rice, and the seemingly chaotic inlays create a particularly harmonious pattern.
This is the art style most admired by the ancient elves, and it is chaotic but orderly.
Of course, for An Yizhi, it doesn't matter what kind of sincerity is art.
So now he took out his knife and dug into his pocket the jewel set in the throne, and Hela was busy looking for a gem to suit his taste, so that Ann could his fingers and eat it herself.
This person and a bird are really the same virtue......
