It was not early, and the light of several Optimus Crystal Pillars in the distance gradually began to dim, although Crystal City no longer had much meaning to Giselle and other cosmic smugglers, but Cheng Shi still wanted to arrive at Crystal City before dark, even if he only saw a city ruin after getting there, but the work of collecting corpses still had to be done. So the group did not delay any longer, and they came out of the Paro market and rode straight to the Crystal City.

When Crystal City gradually appeared in everyone's field of vision, except for Tony and the other three natives, everyone else couldn't help but breathe in the strange scenery in front of them.

They saw that what they saw was really a city made of pure crystal, the magnificent buildings that glittered in the sunlight, and some of the well-preserved houses, as if carved directly from a huge piece of crystal, were more like works of art than human dwellings, although more of them were collapsed and cracked houses, but it was not difficult to imagine how glorious it used to be.

"I'm going, it's really a crystal city?!" Cheng Shi still couldn't help but sigh.

"Incredible...... Barbara muttered softly.

Yang Yang and North didn't find the right adjective for a while, they just kept saying "wow...... Wow ......", in fact, the two of them saw everything that was not easy to describe and not dangerous, and it was expressed in this way.

"Why did they build a house out of crystals?" Oldman frowned and muttered to himself.

Tony saw that the five outsiders stopped and were stunned for a long time, and he felt that since he knew a few people, it had always been the three of them who had been learning from each other, and now he saw the stunned appearance of Cheng Shi and the five people, and he actually had a feeling of winning back a game, so he smiled: "It's getting dark, should we go to the ruins first." ”

Cheng Shi shook his head at Tony when he heard the sound, and everyone rode forward again.

Two minutes later, the group was walking down a wide road in the Crystal City.

"Wow! Even the road is paved with crystal. Yang Yang sighed.

"There are crystals everywhere here, can't you just move them? Why do you need digging tools? North asked, puzzled.

Hearing this, Rotti explained to her: "These are dead crystals outside, basically they can't be stored for energy, and you will know when it gets dark for a while, the crystals that can really store energy are all underground, and tools are needed to dig them." ”

North nodded, looked around and asked, "But why did they build a house out of crystals?" I think some houses are transparent, how can transparent houses be inhabited? Isn't it weird? ”

Oldman had asked the same question just now, and although Bruce heard it, he didn't answer the giant's question because he didn't know either.

And now that North asked the question again, Rorty shook his head and said, "We only know that this is an ancient ruin, and no one knows why the ancients used crystal to build their houses. ”

After Cheng Shi dismounted, he climbed a crystal ruin hill more than ten meters high.

After Tony handed over Cheng Shi and his mount to Bruce, he also climbed the hill and stood next to Cheng Shi.

"Aren't there any rumors about this Crystal City?" Cheng Shi asked casually.

Tony frowned and thought for a moment, then summarized: "There are some legends, according to legend, the world that our ancestors lived in was very different from now, at that time there were no pillars under the sky dome, but the world was not dark, there was a bright star in the sky revolving around the earth, but at that time, the earth would be very cold, and then our ancestors built crystal houses to resist the cold, and later in order to let everything in the world be warmly sheltered, The ancestors used the star to illuminate the crystal pillar that could reach the sky. ”

Cheng Shi was amused, and then said cautiously: "Now there is no one else here, can you tell me why your church is taboo to talk about the above things?" ”

Tony was stunned, his face was embarrassed, he looked left and right, although there were no outsiders in the circle, he still didn't dare to say.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi smiled reassuringly: "If you don't want to say it, it's okay, then let's go to the mine where the energy storage crystal is stored." ”

Tony scratched his head, then whispered, "I've heard that people get magic when they go up there, and the church is afraid of that. His voice was not only small, but also very fast, as if he was afraid that others would hear him too clearly.

If it weren't for Cheng Shi's ears that had been added to his divine power, it would naturally be no problem to deal with Tony's words: "What? What magic? ”

"Some people get big and grumpy; There are also those who become able to summon thunder and lightning; Others get wall-piercing; These are all magic that the world cannot understand, everyone knows that the church is for the lords, and they certainly don't want people with magic in society. Tony further explained, "I've heard all of this from what I've heard, and it's all perverse things on the church side, so you can't go out and talk nonsense." ”

Cheng Shi smiled comfortingly and patted Tony's shoulder: "We come from a far away place, we came to you to do some errands and leave, and we only know a few of you here, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense." ”

Tony nodded a little nervously, "Okay, we'll take you to the storage crystal pit now." ”

After the two of them walked down the hill of crystal ruins, they each led their horses to the nearest crystal pit that Tony had mentioned.

They first came to a crystal high-rise with broken waists, probably because it was too long, the crystal that built this house had seeped into a lot of impurities, so after they walked a little inside, the house was pitch black, but the three of Tony were obviously prepared, and the three of them took out some stored broken crystals from their pockets after entering the house to provide lighting.

"Yikes! This is a crystal that glows at night, huh? Yang Yang saw the crystal in Rorty's hand and said as he picked up a few pieces and put them in the palm of his hand to play.

"These are basically disposable, and we'll throw them away when we come out." Bruce said with experience.

Cheng Shi saw that the energy storage crystals held by the three of them were emitting a faint white light, which could also bring some light to the dark room, but it was still too dark, he only knew that the group was going down, and he couldn't even see the surrounding situation clearly, so he mentally connected to the information bridge: "Xiaoqiao, can you come out and act as a flashlight?" ”

The model car vibrated and replied, "Can you not use this car as a flashlight every time, even if you need this car to provide lighting, then don't say that the flashlight is okay?" Sounds too low-end. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the two of us are communicating in code, who can hear it?"

"Then you have to take the car, it may not be good to fly out here."

Cheng Shi thought about it, so he reached out and took the car model out of his pocket, and then a dazzling fan-shaped white light shot out of Cheng Shi's hand, and the dark room instantly brightened as day.

North jumped behind Cheng Shi with a sigh, Barbara and Yang Yang almost transformed, only Oldman was a little calmer, and Tony and the three were really scared.

"What's in your hand?" Tony's face was stunned, with a trilling voice in his voice, and he pointed to the car model in Cheng Shi's hand from a distance, as the boss of their trio, perhaps this was the first time he had lost his temper so much.

"You know lightning magic, you must be someone who has been there." Bruce was shocked.

Cheng Shi smiled: "Don't be afraid," he said and stroked the car model in his hand, "This thing is called a flashlight in our side, you treat it as an alchemy device, it is not harmful to people, and its main role is to provide lighting." ”

This may be the worst time that the information bridge was hacked by its own owner, just said that the name of the flashlight is only known to the two of them, and it was made public in a blink of an eye, so the car model raised a strong protest in the spiritual connection with Cheng Shi, but it was directly ignored by its owner.

"Can't you say hello in advance if you make a big fuss? Even I was shocked by you. Barbara grabbed Cheng Shi's back with her fist and whispered in Chinese.

Cheng Shi grinned, with a hint of embarrassment on his face: "It's not easy to explain with the three of them, but I really should talk to you first." ”

After Tony stabilized his mood, the three of them all came over.

"Can you adjust the light on this device? None of us here have ever seen this, and although there are generally no lords here, it is inevitable that we will encounter other good people who may cause us trouble. Tony said thoughtfully, still with a hint of horror on his face.

Cheng Shi pondered that what Tony said was quite reasonable, so he not only dimmed the light of the information bridge in the spiritual connection, but also adjusted it to a mode of all-body light, so that the car model looked a bit like the energy storage crystal here.

When Cheng Shi could see everything around him clearly, he found that they were no longer in the crystal room they had entered at the beginning.

It can be vaguely seen here that it is a rectangular crystal corridor, but the four walls have been dug with holes, but the road under their feet is quite smooth, mainly because some large and small pits have been filled with many broken crystals.

"Landlord, do you feel this hallway a little familiar?" Oldman came to Cheng Shi's side and whispered in his native dialect.

Cheng Shi nodded: "Yes, it's very similar to the passage we used to enter the elven underground shelter." ”

"If you think of these crystals as ice, they're almost the same as that channel." Oldman further analyzed.

"It's called Tikonia here, and Tikenia on the elf side, don't you think the two names are a bit similar?" Barbara said in Chinese.

Cheng Shi exhaled: "Although the name of the place is transliterated, it shouldn't be so coincidental, maybe we really found the descendants of those elves, although their civilization has degenerated, but at least they survived." ”
