The voice of the mysterious woman who spoke was elegant and beautiful. Although Yuan Huang knew three languages, he couldn't understand what the other party was saying at all, and he couldn't find him anywhere.

The sound source at hand was nothing but a dilapidated metal façade. When he put his ear to it, he was sure that the other party was hiding behind a wall and talking. It is perhaps not surprising that the sound of speech can be heard clearly through such a thick and complex wall.

It could also be a hallucinatory magic.

"Hello, my name is Yuan Huang."

“…… Hello, Yuanhuang. ”

casually said hello, and got a response in the local language, and it was quite polite, which made Yuan Huang overjoyed. Probably this mysterious woman is just not very proficient in the lingua franca of the Starfall Continent, but she is also at the minimum level of communication.

However, when I tried to ask you who you are and where you are from, can you show up, etc., the woman repeats "Hello, Genhuang" repeatedly, like a parrot, unable to communicate at all.

After a few sentences, Yuan Huang decided that the other party did not know the local language.

I just wanted to give up, but the broken walls around me changed. A piece of the wall, which had been slightly deformed, with multiple metal plates blown off during the fall, seemed to be some kind of mechanism, and slowly rose into a doorway that allowed a single person to pass through.

At first glance, it looks like a passage made entirely of metal. The floor beneath his feet was tilted at about 15 degrees, and it was unfolded in a haphazard manner, revealing many objects that Yuan Huang had never seen before—some resembling metal clubs, others like silver-plated ropes—and the debris of unknown purpose was all over the floor, a mess that made it difficult to get off his feet.

It was dim inside, and there wasn't even a light. Instead, the silver-plated ropes that descended from the collapsed ceiling were haphazardly entangled, with low-level electric spark magic bursting from the ends of the occasion, providing a flickering light.

It's really not inside some meteorite.

There are doors and passages, and they fall from the sky, and there is no other possibility except for the palace that fell from the heavenly realm for unknown reasons. Every inch of the floor and walls are metal plates full of man-made traces, and every piece of clutter is like an item of an unknown civilization.

What made him concerned was that he originally thought that the woman was hiding behind the door to speak, but there was no one.

"You...... Is it a celestial person, or an angel? ”

"Hello, Yuanhuang."

"You opened the door and invited me in, right?"

"Hello, Yuanhuang."

Inability to communicate.

The direction in which the woman was speaking was still near the door frame, where there was nothing but a pile of broken metal. Since the door frame was not thick enough to leave room for a person's dark compartment, the angelic sister must have used magic to transmit sounds, and she was in the depths of the palace.

Yuan Huang held on to the door frame and walked in cautiously.

Most of the floors were destroyed, and the falling ropes were occasionally bursting with electric sparks. He slowly moved to the end of the passage, leaning against the wall. What kind of knee injury, his own life and other things are all forgotten, only the curiosity that has already exploded is left. Even though the door closed shortly after entering, he didn't think in a bad direction at all.

He was thrilled to be able to step into the Heavenly Palace.

Come to the end of the passage.

Touching the metal wall, he raised his head and shouted, "Sister Angel, I'm here, please open the door!" ”

Not surprisingly, there was also a trap door in the middle of the wall in front of me. Although this time it is in the form of half rising and half falling, unlike the façade door, this little thing is not important.

Unexpectedly, the woman—Yuan Huang speculated that the other party was an angel from the heavenly realm—was still behind her, the original location of the outer wall door frame. This trivial incident made Yuan Huang wonder if the other party was really using magic to transmit the voice? Why don't you always speak near your ear, as is common sense?

Before he had time to think deeper, his doubts were immediately squeezed out of his mind by the situation in front of him.

Probably because it's closer to the inside of the palace, right? The passage in front of me is not badly damaged, and it is much easier to walk on than the previous floor. And there's a little bit of lighting too. Above the head of the source phoenix was a metal ceiling that evenly radiated a soft glow, and it seemed that a large number of small magic lamps were inlaid in it.

He's at a fork in the road. On the left side, one is bright and one is dark, and this irregular lighting seems to have caused some of the lamps to be destroyed due to a crash. Ahead, the way was blocked by a large number of collapsed debris, and it was pitch black. Maybe he could find a way to get through the gap between the obstacles, but now Yuan Huang naturally planned to turn left first, choosing an easy-to-walk and illuminated route.

After passing through several doors and forks, Yuanhuang kept going straight, and this passage did not come to an end not far.

It's hard to ignore the new situation in front of you.

Even though the surroundings were full of unheard of new and strange scenes, the situation in front of Yuan Huang's eyes still made him stunned.

Corpse.

A man with short dark black hair was lying face down on the floor, motionless. You don't need to check to know that the other party is dead, because the shape of the spine on the waist and neck is very exaggerated, probably due to the impact of the crash, and he died on the spot.

couldn't see the face clearly, but Yuan Huang guessed that the other party was of different races based on the side face of the other party. Probably a celestial. Be between the ages of 40 and 50.

The man was wearing a pure white tights of strange fabric, which wrapped his whole body very well. Gloves, a wide belt, booties, a ring, all dressed in extremely rustic clothes without any patterns.

On the ground not far from hand was a staff of extremely strange shape. Made entirely of metal, it is finely crafted but minimalist in style. If it was a crash and he got out of his hand, it is speculated that there is no magic crystal at the top of the staff, but a flat shape that is slightly thicker than the thigh, which takes up nearly half the length of the staff. There are some strange shapes that are not known for the purpose of holding in the position that were originally suitable for the hand, but they are a little thinner. Then the tail of the staff became thick again.

Yuan Huang had never seen a staff so unsuitable to hold. Of course, he also thought that since there was no magic crystal, maybe it was just an iron rod used by a warrior, but he quickly dispelled this speculation. It's just that the smashing weapon doesn't need to be so finely crafted, and it doesn't even have a spike.

On the sides of the staff were five strange gems that had been polished to a round and crystalline glow, glowing a faint blue, but the fifth was so dim that it had almost been extinguished.

In a cautious manner, Yuan Huang just crouched down to observe closely, and did not touch it at will. It really seems to be just some kind of gemstone, or some other material, and it's definitely not a magic crystal anyway, so why do they glow?

There is also a small bag around the man's waist. Although Yuan Huang wanted to open it immediately, he held back for the time being, considering that such a mess might cause the angel sister to judge him as a thief.

Not far ahead of the man's corpse, there was an even more bizarre corpse...... Can that be considered a "corpse"?

Metal skeletons?

There is no flesh and skin, and the entire body is made of metal that resembles the shape of a human skeleton but is more complex. This reminds the source phoenix of the rumored golden magic puppet, a loyal servant who is brought to life by a mage. But the illustrated book is made up of a large pile of rough metal blocks, and what is in front of you is indescribably crafted.

It died in ...... No, destroyed in front of the wall at the end of the passage. His left hand was still scratching the wall, leaving four superficial scratches, and he seemed to fall to the ground unwillingly. There are more than a dozen dents in the walls, and it seems that the magic golem once swung its fists desperately before destroying it, smashing the wall repeatedly with astonishing force.

Probably for some reason, I want to go crazy and destroy this wall. Yuan Huang touched the wall, which seemed to be more unbreakable than all the others. Considering the experience of seeing the trap door before, there may be a hole behind this wall.

It wants to get in.

And the man killed it with a staff.

In the end, the man died in a crash.

Yuan Huang observed the posture of the two corpses of this person and a puppet before they died, and speculated.

While he was pondering, a sudden harsh voice startled Yuan Huang. The soft light around it also turns an irritating red.

Alert?

Yuan Huang immediately raised his hands high: "Wait! I haven't touched anything! ”
