700 Sleeping City 6
"Emmonrys, I think you should explain where we are?" Gordon looked at the white dragon.
Since he was the one who brought everyone to such an incredible place, then he would never know anything about this place, just watching a group of people stunned.
The white dragon snorted, revealing a somewhat embarrassed look: "This is Se Anzu." I came here by accident with the power of the Mystic Gem. It was a wonderful journey, a rare few touches of color in my 10,000-year dry life in the Tower of Eternity......"
Seeing the nostalgic look in the eyes of this middle two white dragon, Gordon seemed to be about to start a tirade again, so he immediately interrupted the other party: "Wait...... Emmonris, you said this was Seanzu. So what was the city we were in before? Is it also Seanzu? ”
"Yes." Ammones Ris nodded unfazed by Gordon's interruption of his nostalgia.
"And where is the real Seanzu?"
A smug smile tugged at the corners of Emmonry's mouth. For the first time, he knew a secret that even the "evil and erudite" mage didn't know, much to the White Dragon's pleasure.
Sure enough, I'm the best villain.
If Gordon knew that this white dragon was still thinking about such a as "the best and most powerful villain" in his heart at such a time, it is estimated that he would have the intention of being a dragon slayer warrior again.
Fortunately, Mr. Bailong did not finish second. He continued: "It can be said that both places are Seanzu, and there is no real or false one. ”
Gordon had initially speculated that the city in front of them was now. It's a vision, or a replica, of Serenzu. But listen to what Emmones said. It doesn't seem to be the case.
Because he had found a sincere audience, Emmones was in high spirits. "The city where we used to be located, the roads are all real, built by the craftsmen of Akhorsia brick by stone. But the creatures that move in that city—all but me and my old enemy Andrei, and you outsiders—are illusions. And now, although the city in front of us is illusory, those creatures, that is, the warriors of the two camps of metal dragons and five-colored dragons that fought bloodily back then, are all real. These guys have been sleeping quietly for nearly 10,000 years. ”
Gordon understood.
On the one hand, there are real cities and illusory residents. And on the other hand. It's an illusory city with real people. If the two are combined, it may be possible to piece together a picture of the real Seanzu.
Finally, there was a time when he could show off his knowledge, and of course Ammones Rees had to seize the opportunity. The white dragon simply folded its wings, sat down, and slowly told everyone what it had seen and heard.
The place where this group is now is not far away, in fact, it is above the former Seanzu. There is a powerful barrier of death energy in the sky above Seranzu, which is composed of the Arcane Gem and the Ancient Orb "Anzera. The power of "Lukent" is a mixture of forces that no one can surpass. Not even Emmonris, who holds the Arcane Gem.
He was able to get here, in addition to the extreme coincidence of the accident, with the help of a witch.
"Witch?" Gordon thought it was strange why Emmones would talk about "witches" and something that had little to do with the Dragonborn Empire.
"She is the master of the Upper Ser Anzu. The great Blue Moon Witch Faretan. It was she who saved me from being lost in a storm of frenzied energy. She was also the one who allowed me to set up a teleportation circle in the upper Seranzu, so that I could have a place to escape in case of crisis. Emmones said.
The illusory Seanzu where everyone was located was above the previous one. And it was blocked by an almost insurmountable energy barrier, so Emmonries gave this place the name "Upper Seranzu".
To Gordon's surprise. This guy who poses "I'm the dragon and my worst dick" all day long actually shows such a reverent expression to others. This made him interested in the "Blue Moon Witch Faletan". Even if you don't mention the attitude of the white dragon, the people who can appear in such a place can't be ordinary no matter how you think about it.
"So Mr. White Dragon, where is the witch you mentioned, and how can we find her?" The little princess of Antolia asked.
Although Angeline had been forced to work for Emmonres for a period of time as a maid who specialized in washing scales, she did not hold too much grudge and still asked questions in a polite manner. The education of the Antolian royal family is indeed commendable.
"It must wait for night to fall and the blue moon rise before the witch Faretan appears." Emmonris said in a mysterious tone.
Gordon looked up at the sky and saw that there was no sun, but judging by the intensity of the light, it should be noon. So before he met the witch, he had plenty of time to listen to Emmonres explain the place.
The reason why Seanzu was torn into two parts, in the final analysis, was because of the ultimate weapon used by the Red Dragon Commander Titanis at the end of that tragic battle, the Ancient Orb Anzela. Lukent.
"Note that by 'tearing' I don't mean in the usual sense. It's more mysterious......" said Emmones, speaking like a college physics professor. However, his eloquence was obviously not very good, and except for Gordon, who was rich in knowledge and had excellent understanding, everyone else was in a state of fog.
So Gordon had to make a cameo appearance as a translator to translate the incomprehensible words of the white dragon into a language that everyone could understand: "What the white dragon means is that on the physical plane, Seanzu has been preserved intact - that is, the city where we were before. But on the other hand, in the great war of that year, all the creatures of Seanzuri were separated from the city and came to such a false Seanzuri constructed by material projections. Moreover, their consciousness and soul were forcibly separated by the power of the Eternal Orb, and entered a strange and endless cycle, while their bodies fell into a deep sleep for ten thousand years. ”
Aziz, who is also a mage, was the first to react. Suddenly he realized, "What do you mean, Mr. Freeman. The visions we encountered in the Seanzuri below were not actually the product of some spell. Is it a projection of the consciousness of those who are sleeping in front of us now? ”
"Yes, these warriors of the two dragon camps have fallen into a deep sleep because of the power of the Ancient Orb, but their subconscious minds are projected into illusions, and they continue to repeat the fight and killing with each other, and the cycle will continue for ten thousand years."
After some explanations from Gordon, everyone finally figured out what was going on with Seanzu and the visions they had encountered before. But after solving a mystery, a new mystery is laid out in front of them.
Now I want to know more about this place. You'll have to wait until the "Blue Moon Witch" in Emmonris's mouth appears.
There is nothing to explore in this fantasy city except for the soldiers of the two armies who are asleep, as if they have been stuck in time. And Emmonres also repeatedly warned Gordon and his party not to move around, lest they get into unnecessary predicament.
"Is it scary here? How do I feel so quiet as a baby's bedroom? Miss Ji'er looked around, her burgundy eyes shining with curiosity.
Emmones snorted and uprooted a small tree. Judging by the comparison of its size, this white dragon grabbed a small tree. It's like a human being pulling up a small grass.
"See clearly, human ......" Emmones took a few steps forward, then stretched the small tree in his hand forward.
Maybe the others didn't see any clues, but Gordon was aided by the Eye of Truth and Warning. But he saw a layer of light blue energy wall lying in front of the white dragon.
When Emmonris stretched out the small tree in his hand and passed through the blue wall of energy, something strange happened. The small tree in the hands of the white dragon began to grow rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it becomes leafy. And then in the blink of an eye. The lush leaves withered and withered, and eventually the entire trunk turned a dry gray black.
Emmonres retracted the tree. With a flick of the dragon's claw, the entire body passed through the upper part of the blue energy wall, and immediately fell apart, turning into countless dry powders. The rest of the trunk remains fresh and well-hydrated.
"Do you see clearly? In the city, there are terrifying areas of the city that are weakly surrounded by walls of blue energy, which the Blue Moon Witch calls the 'Time Disorder Zone'. If you don't want to experience the sensation of growing and aging and dying for a moment, don't move around. ”
The upright young lady of the Phoenix family listened to Emmonris's words, and when she thought that she might become a thin and ugly old woman in the blink of an eye, and then turn into a handful of white bones, she shuddered and leaned closer to Gordon in a few steps.
Seeing Ji'er's frightened look, Gordon could only comfort her with kind words, so that she could calm down and spend this time during the day.
After half a day, after a full rest, everyone finally ushered in the fall of night. The sky darkened, and a strange blue light appeared from afar, getting thicker and thicker, gradually painting the entire illusory city with a layer of blue. Gordon looked up at the blue moon that was slowly rising, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that the witch named Faretan has the title of 'Blue Moon' for this reason?" ”
With his true body, Emmones seemed to become more and more lethargic. It had been indulging in sweet dreams since the afternoon, until it heard Gordon's call, and then opened its dragon's eye.
"Emmonris, night has fallen, it's time to take us to the Blue Moon Witch."
The white dragon yawned loudly and raised his head: "Don't worry, mage. We don't need to take the initiative to find the Blue Moon Witch, we just need to wait here and keep our eyes on the sky......"
Gordon felt that the white dragon's secondary two diseases were starting to occur again. However, in this case, waiting is also a more feasible approach.
It didn't take long for a strange ripple to spread out in the night sky under the blue moonlight, and immediately after, a floating island appeared in it.
It is said to be a small island, but in fact, it is at best a piece of open space of two or three hundred square meters. On the island, there is a large, strange-looking tree, and a small wooden house with a steeple roof. Outside the cabin, there was a huge round-bottomed iron pot, and the pyre under the pot was still extinguished, and only a faint spark remained.
It's a typical witch's hut. The picture in front of me can already be used as an illustration in an adventure novel.
"See. The Blue Moon Witch is here. Emmones said smugly.
While others were focusing on the hut that had fallen from the sky, Gordon was looking at the eyes of truth and warning. I saw another scene—a scene where even he couldn't keep his composure, his heart beat suddenly, and his palms sweated.
In the sky, with that huge blue full moon as the background, a huge mountain-like object appeared along with the witch's hut. It was suspended high in the air, blocked by a special place of magical energy, and no one but Gordon could witness its massive form.
Gordon's silhouette projected from the moonlight can be discerned. On top of this huge floating object, there are many elaborate and huge structures. There are walls, towers, and palace buildings in the Nesserduran style......
Floating City!
You can't go wrong, this is Floating City!
Gordon took out the weir leaf from the dimensional bag to guide the way, and found that the leaf stood tall and erect, the silver tip of the leaf pointed straight at the pitch-black behemoth under the blue moon, and the rune mark on the leaf was blooming with golden light.
This made him more convinced of his own judgment.
Although Ionn had told Sù Gordon that the weir leaves were able to cross the interference of the spatial barrier. Show him the way to the lost Floating City. However, the complexity of Seanzu's situation has exceeded the God of Knowledge's expectations. The power of the Mystic Gem and the Ancient Orb in the city, Yan zhòng interfered with the pointing function of the weir leaves. So much so that until now, when the distance from that floating city was only a few thousand meters. The weir leaves only came into play.
But that's irrelevant. The main purpose of Gordon's trip to the Abyss: to find the missing floating city that Ionn spoke of, has been accomplished. Next, he should find a way to get to the city. Then take complete control of this mage's ultimate dream.
But it's not something that can be done easily.
The Floating City's self-defense measures are still in motion, most notably the illusionary effects that shroud its exterior. Except for Gordon, who opened the Eye of Truth and Warning, no one else could find out.
There is one more question. Does the mysterious Witch of the Blue Moon know about the existence of the Floating City, and is she interested in this vast legacy from the Magic Empire of Netherduran? If the other party wants to take the floating city for themselves, or simply has already ascended one step ahead and become the owner of the floating city, then things will not be easy.
Just when Gordon's mind was occupied by the floating city, the floating witch's hut, which was much smaller than the floating city, landed on the ground.
"Huh? Bailong, you actually regained your body, and you are no longer the ghost you used to be? It's weird. "From the hut came a woman's voice, which was hoarse and old, but also contained the crispness and sweetness of a girl, which was very peculiar and unforgettable.
"Haha, it's just because I made a good deal with a powerful and evil mage." The white dragon laughed, and the smugness in his words could not be concealed.
"Really? Interesting...... It seems that among the guests who are following you is the Mr. Mage. The female voice added, "Looks like I'm going to have to meet them." After living in such a lonely place for a long time, it is easy to forget all about your own existence. When a guest visits, it reminds me of myself. ”
Ammonreth couldn't wait to introduce Gordon to the Blue Moon Witch. However, after he took a few steps to take the lead, he discovered a problem.
In the past, when it was still in a hybrid form of ghosts and energy, the white dragon could enter the hut without any barriers. But now that he had a real physical body, it was impossible for that small wooden house to accommodate his huge dragon body.
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Long patted his head and suddenly realized: "That's right! Am I not humanoid? After so many years, I almost forgot about this most basic skill. ”
After entering the youth of the dragons, they can all obtain the special skill of "humanoid transformation". This innate ability similar to Transfiguration allows dragons to transform into medium-sized humanoids at will. This is a handy ability for dragons who like to blend in with human society. Of course, there are also some dragons with racist ideas who look down on human elves and other creatures, and have never disdained to use such abilities.
Emmonris pronounced the command, and a flash of light immediately enveloped his figure. In a few moments, the white dragon turned into a young man dressed in an exaggerated robe with long explosive white hair.
Sure enough, whether it is in the form of a dragon or a human, this guy can't get rid of the true colors of the second middle school.
However, Emmonres himself was quite satisfied with his human form, so Gordon and the others did not say anything, but silently followed behind the white dragon and entered the cabin of the mysterious Blue Moon Witch.
To Gordon's surprise, the cabin did not contain any strange alchemy materials, nor did it emit the smell of damp decay that was common in the impression of swamp witches. The wooden house is clean, tidy, and the items are placed in an orderly manner, full of ordinary but warm life.
However, the witches who had already greeted a group of outsiders in the entrance were really surprised.
On the left side of this blue moon witch wearing a patriarchal skirt is a beautiful woman with fair skin and moist complexion, but on the right half is an old woman with withered skin like old tree bark and has entered the last years of life. It is really astonishing that such a strong contrast actually appeared in one person. (To be continued......)
