Chapter 7 Is it a puppet? Is it a girl?

Mephis couldn't control his body, and fell into the ground under the impetus of the sand, along with the sand thieves, as well as Lolo and Snod, no one was spared, the underground is not a bottomless abyss, and after falling a few meters, he fell on the sloping stone wall, and his body slid downward.

The body hit the raised rock for the first time, and he almost screamed in pain, and the corner of his eye held back the sand thief, and used the remaining strength to reach out to the sand thief, trying to carry out a magic attack, but in the next second, the sand thief's body also disappeared from view because of the impact on the rock.

Laugh at!

Strange sounds, some people turned into a miserable scenery because they hit the sharp stone cone, and others became panicked and began to pay attention to their bodies, so as not to follow in the footsteps of this terrible thing.

Mephiss was shocked, and began to concentrate on his feet, barely controlling his body to swing from side to side, and the journey down was not so smooth, if he was not careful, he would be pierced by the piercing, but there was no way to stop, the sand pushed everyone all the way down, during this period, the dark underground flashed flames from time to time, and the number of sand thieves decreased one by one, and they had nothing to do.

I don't know how long it took, but people came to the bottom, slid down a big step, and fell the ground, with a thick layer of sand pressed on their bodies.

"Ahem! Ahem! ”

Mephis struggled to crawl out of the thick sand, holding his knees and breathing hard, blood dripping down his shoulders to the ground, which he had been injured in the fall, but he forgot about the pain and looked at the underground world in front of him, which was an undiscovered ruin, brilliant and huge, slowly shining with brilliance, and the ruins were intact, looking like the graveyard of some sage.

At this moment, there was a piercing sound of wind in his ears, and the skinny sand thief attacked from the side, and Mephis hurriedly dodged and counterattacked, but the effect was very poor, so he had to flee up the stairs of the ruins.

"I made Uncle Ben such a wolf, I will never let you die easily, I will cut off your legs, shave off your bones, and dig out your facial features until you run out of blood!"

The sand thief's voice was furious, perhaps worried about not being able to return to the surface, but Mephis's face sank like water, and his voice sounded a little leisurely.

"yes, it sounds scary, but it's a pity you don't have that chance."

The actual situation is not so good, Mephis has been bleeding, coupled with the fact that the fire shot has not been able to break the magic weapon of the sand thief, the form is very unfavorable for him, and in a roundabout way to find an opportunity, Mephis gradually goes deeper into the ruins, trying to rely on the terrain to achieve victory.

The two suddenly stopped fighting, tacitly maintained a vigilant posture and slowly retreated to both sides, looking in the direction of the ruins, where there was a clear and gentle sound of footsteps.

If it's not a monster...... Is it human? Why is it here?

Under the gaze of the magical light, a figure appeared in the ruins, and the figure of a young girl was reflected on the ground.

The girl who suddenly appeared was wrapped in an undoubted majesty, her black eyes exuded a special color, she walked over gently, faced the two people who were in doubt, and lifted the flowing black hair.

This is a very imposing girl, the fighting spirit formed by magic forms a never-dissipating storm around her, wearing a slightly military uniform, with a delicate and fair face like a doll.

What is nervous is that the girl shook her hand slightly, and extended a light blade formed by magic power on the back of her right hand, lowered her body and sprinted rapidly, and appeared in front of the sand thief in a blink of an eye, the magic light blade stabbed forward, and before the sand thief could react, he was pierced and even lifted up, looked at the front of him in disbelief, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Mephis, as if complaining about why he didn't kill him first, and then the body lost all its strength, and the breath dissipated.

Mephis nervously moved two steps back, fighting with the sand thief is about IQ, and fighting with the girl in front of him is a direct rhythm of death.

"Scholar, how are you?"

“?”

Mephis scrutinized her figure, her left ear adorned with a strange ornament in the shape of a wing, and though there was no wind, her long neat hair fluttered slightly, as if it had no weight.

The most important thing is that the adult in her mouth seems to be herself?

The girl continued to make a sound, a melodious sound like a bell, echoing through the empty underground.

"Scholar? Has the fighting on the ground subsided? Have we repelled the abyssal erosion? Are the other generals all right? ”

“……”

"That's... Scholars? ”

The girl's chatter finally stopped, and she tilted her head slightly, looking at Mephis in bewilderment.

Mephis came back to his senses, grasped the current situation for the first time, and quickly thought about the confidence in his mind, his identity was a demon sect scholar, and the girl in front of him protected herself, and she was so polite to herself...... Appearing deep underground, naturally exuding a huge amount of magic and killing with one hit, this girl's identity is about to be revealed.

"You are?"

"I am Hervier, the guardian of the Legion, the magic guide ingenuity who was ordered to hold the battle line until the last moment, the sisters of the First Legion have completed their noble mission, and have been sleeping here to be repaired in accordance with the will of the creators, and have not heard a voice from the sky for 4110912 hours, 37 minutes and 21 seconds, may I ask how the battle is going now, are you here to convey a new mission to me?"

Mephis thought silently in his heart, and according to the information in the game, he quickly sorted out the current situation, raised his hand and waved it gently. The game's Karakuri are all important NPCs without exception, wandering around the world, some continuing to fight for the mission, and some choosing to live a stable life.

In front of him, Mephis has no impression, maybe it's too secretive and has never been discovered by the player.

"The millennium war is over, we have won the final victory, the entire continent has risen to the skies for eternity, and you have successfully completed your mission...... Don't you know these things? ”

"Yes, the slumber has been suspended for unknown reasons, and there is no contact with the Archives to find anyone of the same kind in the vicinity. There are unknown loopholes in the self-diagnosis of the spirit core, the spare mana has tended to be depleted, and the spiritual veins here are scarce, and more mana needs to be replenished. Communication with the Archives could not be established, a call for help had been sent but could not be accepted, backup files of memory loops could not be read, and various body components were aging and needed to be replaced and maintained. ”

"How do you know who I ......?"

When Mephis asked, he was still a little weak, but it was better to figure it out so that he could contact the conjecture in his heart.

Heviel raised his hand and pointed to the magic book floating beside Mephis, in which the Book of Origin stopped in front of him at this time, and was pulled by some kind of traction, resonating with Heviel, emitting a faint light, Mephis said in his heart that it was so, not surprised, but relieved.

"The Book of Origins, the proof of the Beloka Demon Academy, there is no doubt about it, are you here to take me back to heaven?"

"No...... There is no way back to heaven. Also, my name is Mephis. ”

Mephis is the ID of the game period, and since this game is in the same world, let's use the name of the game.

Heviel tilted her head, puzzled by the look of confusion on her face.

"Lord Mephis? Why can't you go back to heaven? The last order I received was to 'hold the defensive line, retreat to the headquarters after receiving the signal, and defend the safe rise of the mainland', but unfortunately I had to sleep on the ground for repairs due to the heavy damage, but the headquarters also conveyed the message of 'wait for the response team with peace of mind'. ”

"I don't have the ability to go back to the sky."

"If it's a personal problem, you can take the Ark ......"

"There is no Ark anymore, and the last Hyperpolis has also crashed into the Endless Sea, after all, the battle was fierce at that time."

"Well, there are also space-time bridges scattered around the world."

"All space-time bridges on land have been destroyed, and this technology has been lost."

“……”

Heviel fell silent for a moment, then looked up.

"Lord Mephis, you're a Demon Sect scholar, and you must have mastered the technique of repairing the space-time bridge, right? You must know how the ark was built, right? ”

Mephis was asked, because he certainly didn't know about the technology, but if memory serves, "Time Bridge Repair Technique" is a mission book stored in the library.

This book is not a magic book, it is an important prop for exploring the floating continent of Beloka in the later stages of the game, but unfortunately this is the next version, and at that time, Mephis was only completing the pre-task, and he was ready to leave the game without waiting for the new version, so Mephis still nodded and confirmed Hevier's problem.

"It's very difficult to rebuild, there is nothing on the ground today, which is very difficult...... Actually, I was already planning to give up and live on earth. ”

"Even so, it still means that Lord Mephis has a way to return to the sky."

“…… But it's going to be very difficult, very difficult, and there aren't many of our own people on the earth. ”

Hevill suddenly fell to his knees on one knee in front of Mephis.

"By the oath of the old, I, Herveil, will be your sword and blade, and from now on, you and I will be bound together by fate. Please engrave my name in the deepest part of your soul, and never forget it in your life. No matter the wind, frost, rain or snow, no matter the smoke of war, if you never turn your back, I will live and die together, and I will always love and respect you until death separates us. ”

"You're ......"

Mephis smiled wryly.

"I don't know if I can do it."

"You will recreate the splendor of Beloka on the ground, I am very sure, because you are a Demon Sect scholar, the wisest person of the Beloka clan, the person who can compete with our creators, you are so young, so good, I believe you will be able to do it. It is a contract with you to assist you in fulfilling this glorious mission and returning to the skies. ”

At that moment, footsteps appeared beneath the ruins, and Lolo's voice could be heard.

"Great, Mr. Mephis, are you alright?"

However, Hervier was like a different person, no longer as gentle as she was to Mephis, her face was expressionless in an instant, her eyes had no other color except black, she was full of coldness, and her hand immediately flashed with a psionic light blade, ready to attack the stranger.

"Wait! Hervier! They are my friends. ”

"It's rude."

Hevier disarmed at this and smiled softly again, as she stepped behind Mephis, where she stood quietly.
