The Kingdom of the Golden Crown has always prided itself on having a large number of magicians and scholars. If the country will also have human character and temperament, then the Golden Crown Kingdom is very much like a young man who likes to read and has a strong desire for knowledge.

Although the whole country has a kind of unruliness peculiar to a young man, it is not annoying on the whole, and the relationship with its neighbors is quite good. That's pretty rare.

In the legends of the kingdom, the sage of the clouds has always lived on an empty island, living a life of great abundance of material resources. They know the depths of magic, and most of the time they don't come into contact with people on the ground, except for a few sages in the clouds who look at the ground from afar.

If the person they are watching is suffering from pain, sickness, or poverty, then there is a good chance that they will be helped from the sky. If the person being watched misbehaves, they are punished.

If the watchful are sorcerers and scholars who study diligently, then these sages with infinite wisdom will descend a page of heavenly books to enlighten all beings.

In the context of such legends, a number of novels with related themes have been born. For example, a magician who gets the 'Sage Page' that falls from the sky and learns advanced magic, but instead leads the country to destruction or something.

As a princess of a country, Shatisha is usually quite leisurely, and she can devote a lot of time to her hobbies. She also immersed herself in her 'flying magic', but she was never favored by any sage, and what she studied became 'explosive magic' in the mouths of outsiders, and she was nicknamed a terrible one among the people.

Now Her Royal Highness the princess has flown to the sky island in the form of a bird, and finally sees the whole picture of the residence of the 'Sage in the Clouds'.

It's completely different, none of the things in the legend exist. ’

As far as her eye could see, the empty island was filled with large, leafy and strange plants, and creatures in the clouds that shuttled between them.

Although the magic is constantly working, capturing moisture in the air and maintaining ecological balance, there is no sign of any living person. Several man-made buildings that can be identified have long been weathered and cannot be seen in their original appearance.

Stories are all lies, and Her Majesty the Princess finally understood this today. Although Aichen had already told her what the island was like before, the impact of confirming it with her own eyes was still strong.

Shadisa landed in a ruin as the 'lead flight'. Transform back into human form. Aichen and the others followed, landing and deforming one after another.

In front of them, a huge monster statue at least three hundred meters tall stood peacefully, its surface covered with cracks, as if it was about to shatter. Even so, it is much better than the ruins of civilization that have long since disappeared.

As for the appearance of this monster statue, it is difficult for Her Royal Highness the princess to describe. He had a human torso, massive membrane wings on his back, and an unusually large head with no obvious facial features, instead of a large number of tentacles and disgusting folds of skin.

Back in their human state, they regained their ability to speak and began to marvel at what they saw on the island. When viewing the sky island from a distance, everyone thinks it is beautiful and very eye-catching. But in the midst of this, the situation is different.

"It's dangerous here, there's a lot of creatures in the clouds. Can't stay long! ”

The officers were like a physical radar, sensing the aura of danger. Aichen turned on his true radar and took a look at it, "Near here is a vacuum area of creatures in the clouds, and there is nothing within a kilometer. It should be the monster's credit that even the sleeping state can scare away the creatures in the clouds. ”

Everyone dared to walk into the monster, and found that they were only a quarter of the height of the toes of the people, strictly speaking, hooves.

The cracks on the statue looked very fine from a distance, but when you look closely, you can see that they are all arm-thick cracks. Through these gaps, it is possible to see that the body of the monster is indeed wrapped inside.

"Alright, I'll believe it all." Shadisa smiled bitterly and asked Aichen, "Sage Teacher, this big monster won't run to the ground too, will it?" If this is the case, I am afraid that the whole country will have to move. ”

"Don't worry." Ai Chen smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he would not encounter this thing in the beast tide. The Voice of the Mystery has previously made it clear that the only threat is the 'monsters that have been driven down', and this naturally does not include the 'Exorcists'. In other words, this thing will not leave the Sky Island.

And even if you move, there is probably no place in the world that is safe.

Shadisa breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but Galia poured cold water on the side and said, "I saw it when I was in the sky just now, and there are large cloud creatures everywhere here. A dozen of them will fall at random, and we will not be able to deal with them with our current capabilities. ”

The range of Aichen's monster radar is a radius of ten kilometers, which is quite a large area. Although it is not yet able to cover the entire Pearl Sky Island.

He looked at the dense monster light spots on the radar, and roughly estimated, "There are at least a few hundred large cloud creatures here, and those below ten meters are probably more than 10,000." And this is just one of the empty islands, the others should be similar. If these guys are all driven off the ground by this monster, then we can only expect them to fall to their deaths a little more. ”

－－－

The trip to the empty island ended hastily, and everyone turned into sparrows and flew back to the ground in a depressing atmosphere. Aichen wanted to find a place to explore the ruins, but the officers were unwilling to live or die, and their attitude was extremely resolute.

"Her Majesty's safety is of paramount importance. You can't stay in such a dangerous place for too long. ”

Upon returning to the Flame Castle, the group asked in Galya's meeting room how Achen, a wise man in the clouds, should deal with the impending disaster.

Achen's answer was simple, "Gather all the people and take refuge in Spire City." Let's give up the small town and stick to the royal city with all our might. ”

"As it should be." The officers nodded in agreement, "I just don't know if the local flag-holding nobles are willing to abandon their homeland......

Shadisa wasn't worried about this at all, "Whoever doesn't want to let them fly up and see it themselves." Those people are not very bold, and they will definitely understand it when they are yelled by the cloud creatures on the island. ”

"But ......," the officers asked, the second question, "even if they are entrenched, most of the creatures in the clouds that can come to the ground alive have some ability to fly. Even if you can't get past the city wall, it won't be too easy to defend it......"

"Well...... Ai Chen took out a green beast divine soul, "As long as we hurry up, we can still produce hundreds of such treasures." When the time comes, there will be hundreds of green beast warriors in charge, and it shouldn't be too passive to fight. I hope ......"
