"It's so cold......"

On the large balcony of the Third School District, which temporarily serves as an airport, Tio wears a beige cotton scarf and a bloated cotton coat over her robe, which looks round and cute like a bear.

Because of the sudden cold snap, the temperature in the coastal areas of the eastern plains suddenly dropped by a notch, as if the severe cold of midwinter had come in advance. And Morag is naturally within the influence of this cold snap, although it doesn't matter if there is a heating system inside the third school district of Edric, but once he goes out, it is enough to become a magician, but the essence is still a group of imps who are not afraid of the sky and the earth are frozen enough......

Thanks to the cold current, Morag's ready-to-wear stores are sold out of coats, even some of the old goods that have been backlogged for a long time and have long been unable to keep up with the trend.

The little girl shook her long pale blue hair, inhaled her cold red nose, let out a breath of white air, and complained angrily, "Hasn't Juno come yet?" ”

"It should be coming soon, right?"

Beside her, Alisa, who was also dressed a little bloated, replied uncertainly: "Although I don't know what Lu Dao is for, she didn't answer my student ID communication......

Then the blonde girl turned around with some curiosity and looked at Alice, who was still wearing a decent maid costume behind them: "Alice, aren't you cold?" ”

Whether it's inside or outside the academy, whether it's winter or summer, the maid girl always seems to wear such a slightly cumbersome maid outfit.

"Not at all, I'm used to it."

Alice smiled and lifted the hem of her skirt and spun around, and she had already taken out a broom from nowhere. Sweeping away the thick snow piled up on the balcony: "And the teacher gave me this maid costume with a certain fire element, which can provide heat very well." Would you like to give it a try? ”

"Yes......" Alyssa looked at the hem of the other party's skirt and thin top, and shuddered: "Forget it, I look cold on your clothes." ”

It is worth mentioning that although Alice, as the owner, is not afraid of the cold, her doll Zhenhong has already entered the suitcase and refuses to come out.

At first, the maid girl thought that something was wrong with Zhenhong, and she was so anxious that she turned around, but later she learned after Xiwei's explanation. Dolls like True Red that have a certain degree of self-care ability. When they judge that too low or too high temperature will have a negative effect on themselves, they will spontaneously avoid it, and they will generally not show up unless it is officially ordered by the puppeteer.

"If it's too cold. I can bring you a jug of hot cocoa or hot milk. Looking at Alyssa, who couldn't stop rubbing her hands to keep warm. The maid girl asked worriedly.

"No need. Before I met my teacher, I was just an ordinary peasant girl, and I wasn't delicate enough to do that. Alyssa smiled innocently. Respond to Alice's tenderness.

"But then again, Miss Daisy is really slow."

After a while, after working with Theo to build a twisted snowman out of the snow she had swept up, Alice wiped the sweat from her forehead and said a little strangely, "If this continues, the airship to Higlad will depart......"

Yesterday, in Juneau. After Daisy joins the Fetishkai (short for Magical Item Research Club), the black-haired, glassed-girl with two thick braids comes up with a seemingly useful piece of information.

It was something she overheard the villagers mention when she was on a mission in a distant village, and after that, she inquired and summarized the information she obtained from other students who had done tasks in the vicinity.

In the vicinity of the Duchy of Ekrakit, a young man who is tasked with collecting and destroying soul equipment is said to have single-handedly repelled the Duchy army that went to rob them, and then single-handedly cleared out the horse thieves who were causing trouble, and is now roaming the area, looking for other soul equipment.

Because of this, after obtaining Xiwei's permission, Alyssa and the others also plan to take the nearest airboat to the vicinity to explore the traces of the soul device.

Although Xiwei planned to stop them for a while, he finally gave up, and after adding the names of their group to the exemption list of soul tools, he let them go to contact the soul tools - it doesn't matter if they can find each other, even if they do, it will be a big deal to investigate the nearby soul tools, anyway, even if the soul tools are added, those guys are also opponents of several little guys......

No matter how bad it is, there are life-saving props such as the Return Crystal, and after exempting the soul with a thousand strange abilities, at least there is no problem in escaping.

Back to the topic, Alyssa and the three of them had already arrived at the meeting place where they had made an appointment, which was this temporary platform. Daisy was nowhere to be seen.

Just as Alyssa couldn't help but want to send another message, her student ID card vibrated slightly, indicating that a student was contacting her.

"Sorry, sorry...... I woke up early today, went to the library to read a book for a while, and when I came back to my senses, I was already now......"

After reaching out for his student ID card with his near-unconscious hand, Juno came from inside. Daisy's voice was about to cry.

"Didn't I receive my previous contact?" Alyssa couldn't help but ask.

"When people go to the library, they forget their student ID in the dormitory...... Please wait for me for five minutes...... No, three minutes...... Wow, why are there stairs here? …… Ahh......h Wait, where is this?! ”

With the constant sound of 'ping-pong' in the student ID, Alyssa and Alice both sighed involuntarily.

It seems that this new member is not very reliable.

"Ahh As soon as she put down her student ID, Alyssa couldn't help but sneeze.

"Sure enough, I'd better go get you a hot cocoa, right?" The maid girl asked again.

"I'm sorry for you." Snorting, Alyssa smiled a little embarrassedly and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito.

"I'm going to have hot cocoa too."

Theo, who was still trying to fix the appearance of the snowman, also spoke.

"Yes, please wait a moment."

The maid girl responded with a calm smile. Unhurriedly, he walked towards the castle.

After Alice's back disappeared into the castle entrance, Alyssa looked back and watched as Theo piled out, a snowman larger than the little girl herself, with a slightly twisted shape.

"Oh, Theo, this snowman is very good. Let me guess what you're piling up~"

"Okay." The little girl shook her long hair and stopped what she was doing, probably remembering what Sivi had said to her, 'Be polite,' and she added, "Please." ”

"Judging by this appearance...... Cyclops? ”

Shake your head and shake your head.

"Hmm...... Snow trolls? ”

Shake your head and shake your head.

"Highland ogres?"

Shake your head and shake your head.

"Abomination? Rotten Demon? Boggart? ”

Shake your head and shake your head.

"What's that?"

"Sivi ......"

“……”

——Tuyere Plateau——

"Sneeze ——!"

Sivi sneezed without warning.

"Does the Grand Magician catch a cold too......

He twisted his nose. I re-opened the scene in front of me.

After passing through the tornado's wind wall that can easily cut even pieces of iron in half. In front of him were the lifeless ruins of an ancient city.

Unlike the wind outside, which was far more than level 12, there was not a single wind in it, and what structure or theory was based on to cause such a phenomenon, Xiwei had long been too lazy to care...... Anything is possible in the otherworldly realm. It is estimated that in two days, even if he sees the waterfall flowing backwards, he will not say anything.

comparatively. It's quiet and like a decaying tomb. Even the air was filled with the stale smell that had accumulated over the years.

"Maybe it's not a cold, but it's a dust allergy or something......"

The ground is similar to the outside, and it is a reddish-brown dry rock field. However, because no one cleaned it all year round, and there was no wind, the dust accumulated a thick layer, reaching down to Sivi's calf, and every step would stir up a large patch of dust, and it would take a lot of effort to pull your feet out of the dust, in short, it was probably more difficult to walk than the desert.

It's not that Sivi doesn't want to use magic like levitation, but there is no magic element in it at all, and it's not a matter of thinness, but not at all...... Even the magic power is evaporating as if it were nothing, which is a bit similar to the shoddy forbidden demon realm that Sivi encountered when he was looking for the Holy Maiden Elilia.

Of course, as a great magician, it is not difficult for the current Sivi to open up an elemental channel, and that loss of mana will have no effect at all, but he always has a feeling that it may be dangerous to do so, so he would rather continue this arduous trek - as a great magician, his passive magic 'mage alarm' has long been practiced to the point of pure fire, and it is almost close to the level of prophecy, and where the situation is unknown, trusting intuition is the best choice.

It was only after walking for a while that he came back to his senses - if Nima couldn't open up the elemental passage, then I could just use the magic item directly, why bother to go over with me like an ascetic?

So after that, he took out a safe and pollution-free flying broom and walked slowly towards the center of the ancient city.

All the buildings in the ancient city are very Roman in style, and are made entirely of masonry of the same texture as the red rock on the ground, and it is unknown whether they are used or not with cement or other binders.

"I always feel that these houses are a bit delicate......"

After drifting into the ancient city, Xiwei looked at the towering houses around him and frowned slightly.

He drove the broomstick and casually approached one of the double-storey stone houses, which was quite artistic compared to the surrounding buildings, and after taking a closer look, he reached out and gently pushed it.

I saw that the seemingly incomparably solid stone house turned into dust in an instant, collapsed and scattered, and disappeared in front of Xiwei's eyes......

It's not that Xiwei uses magic such as dissociation, but that the house was completely turned into dust because of the unknown amount of power, and it was completely turned into dust long ago because of the unknown amount of power, but because there was never external interference, it has remained intact so far, and when Xiwei lightly piled up, it lost its original appearance and disappeared completely.

"Unbelievable...... What's really going on here? ”

Sivi narrowed his eyes and surveyed the buildings around him.

All the buildings are the same as this dusty two-storey building, giving him a subtle sense of disobedience. In other words, all the surrounding buildings, and even all the buildings of this ancient city, have actually been turned into an aggregate of countless dust, not to mention pushing, even if a gust of wind blows, it can make this incomparably majestic ancient city disappear in an instant!

"Being able to dissociate to the point where it is completely indistinguishable from dust is not at all what can be achieved by dissociation......"

Looking at the pile of dust in front of him, Sivi touched his chin.

Thinking of the phantom dragons and weird jellyfish that guard this place outside, maybe this ancient city hides a great secret!

He looked up at the sky that was shining with the rays of the sun. Consider whether to take the power of the broomstick and fly into the air to look down on the ancient city.

After all, the higher the place. The better the view, the better the view, and the ability to see not only the distant scenery that cannot be seen from below, but also the whole view.

It's just that this ancient city now feels even weirder to him than he came just now, just like not opening the elemental passage casually. It's better to take to the skies without being reckless...... In case there is an enemy here. The higher you fly, the easier it is to become a target.

After settling down. He continued to fly forward, not knowing what to do, he always had the feeling that there was something in front of him. And the closer he got to the heart of the ancient city, the stronger his feelings became.

The more he advanced, the more surprised he became.

From the time he entered the ancient city, the length of the road he had passed through had almost exceeded five kilometers, and if it weren't for the fear that the wind from the fast flight would blow all the houses on both sides into dust, so much time would have been enough for him to run dozens of kilometers.

"The radius of the tornado is probably less than three kilometers from the outside, but the city has exceeded 10 kilometers by visual inspection alone...... Now that I've flown nine times and haven't reached the center of the city, the city seems to be bigger than I imagined...... Sure enough, that wind wall is also famous......"

It seems that this space is the same as the castle in his second school district, the size of the outside is different from the size of the space inside, and of course, he may have already arrived in another place when he passed through the wind wall.

"Anyway, we're all here, so we've got to see what's in there." Cheering himself up, Sivi moved on.

As we went deeper, the surrounding houses began to grow larger, and there were some inexplicable states, some of the houses had scratches and traces of sharp objects left by unknown things, some houses had their roofs removed, and some houses looked as if they had been destroyed by shells, and Sivi even saw an irregularly shaped boulder stuck directly in the center of one house......

The common denominator of this unwarranted building is that it has turned into dust like the stone houses in front of it, and is barely maintaining its form, as well as all the directions of attack coming from the heart of the ancient city.

In other words, what happened in the center of the ancient city caused countless stones mixed with sharp weapons and other attacks to fly out, and finally caused the houses in this area to suffer a certain amount of damage.

While speculating in his mind, Sivi continued on his way, and then appeared in front of him, the house and the ground that were even more damaged.

He even experimented with the depth of the dust here, and found that it was more than twice as deep as the periphery.

Obviously, the extra part is the dusty ground like the surrounding houses.

After advancing less than a kilometer, the field of vision suddenly widened.

From here until the city, all the buildings were gone, replaced by the twisted corpses of various creatures.

Although it does not turn to dust like houses, all the dried corpses here are like pieces of paper that have been in the house for an unknown number of years, and they will turn into pieces at the slightest touch......

"Humans, kobolds, orcs, big demons, is this an elf? I always feel that it is not the same as the forest elves. And the vampires over there? But don't vampires die without bodies? ”

The more he walked, the more surprised he became, and he found that he could find the corpses of almost all humanoids and subhumans, even centaurs, Naga, and other creatures that were very different from humans.

Later, the remains of dragons, abyssal demons, and some elemental creatures also appeared in this strange battlefield.

Among them, there are many human corpses, and unlike other alien races, almost all human corpses wear the same armor and hold the same weapons.

Could it be that this is a relic of ancient alien creatures attacking humans?

But it doesn't seem right, judging from the appearance of these corpses falling, it doesn't look like they're fighting each other before they die, but rather like they're rushing towards the center of the battlefield together.

In this case, is it true that all the mysteries are in the middle of the battlefield?

Sivi looked up and could vaguely see what seemed to be a hill in the middle of the battlefield, but it wasn't clear what it was.

Even if he is as bold as Xiwei, walking in such a place, he can't help but feel a little hairy in his heart.

Swallowing his saliva, he began to advance towards the center of the battlefield again.

Soon, the true face of the 'hill' in the center of the battlefield was revealed in front of Xiwei.

Facing the scene in front of him, Sivi involuntarily stopped.

It was a mountain of corpses of countless races.

Because he had already guessed, this answer did not surprise Sivi too much, and what made him stop moving forward was the things on that hill.

A monster, about the size of an adult African elephant that could no longer be recognizable, collapsed to the ground, and around the monster, eight humanoids of different shapes were like sculptures, surrounding it, and the white wings and pitch-black wings behind the two humanoids were particularly eye-catching...... (To be continued......)
