Chapter 7: The City of Burial

"What people!"

Julian chased after him like a sharp arrow. But all he saw was a broken piece of gray cloth draped over a stone pillar, and nothing else.

"Hey, what's going on?"

The others followed, and they were frightened by Julian's move.

"I think I saw someone walking by. Julian replied truthfully.

"You're saying there's anyone else here besides us?" Ipeia asked rhetorically.

"I don't know, I just saw a shadow flashing, it seems to be a person. Julian crouched down and slowly uncovered the cloth with his hands, but perhaps because of the age of time, he touched it so lightly that the cloth shattered into powder on its own.

"Master, it's just a piece of cloth. Dante breathed a sigh of relief and put the sword back into its scabbard.

The "Riverman" also hung the longbow back behind his back and laughed, "It seems that we are all too nervous." ”

"Please, can you use your brain?" Milalie rebuked, "Where can there be people in this city that has been buried for 3,000 years? ”

"Ha, there are ghosts! Sasha sneered without losing any time.

"You have to take care of it!" Milalie shot back angrily, "Who's the looped leg? You brainless big-breasted girl!"

"Hehe, saying that I have a big mind and no brains, I am better than you, and I don't even have brainless capital. The corners of Sasha's mouth lifted, showing off and straightening her chest.

Feeling humiliated, Milalie was furious: "Stinky witch! I'm going to duel you, call that stinky snake out!"

"Just rely on your black kitten, are you afraid that you won't make it?"

"You two shut up!"

Nanokhai shouted at the two cousins who were arguing on no particular occasion, and the two of them suddenly fell silent. Sasha and Milalie lowered their heads in shame, and they saw that it wasn't just Nanokhai who was staring at them, but also Ipeia. If they are accustomed to facing the reproach of the eldest sister, then in front of Her Royal Highness the princess, they will never dare to make another mistake.

"Anyway, find a way to get out of here first. Ipeia said.

The little farce just now did not ease the tension much, and everyone understood what kind of predicament they were facing. The stone door of the stone chamber had been closed, and Ipeia could no longer use the blood of the royal family to open the door, which meant that the seven of them would most likely be trapped in this dark underground forever. However, from the first step out of the stone chamber, they felt a gust of wind, and since there was an air flow in the air, it also showed that there must be some part of this buried city that was connected to the outside world, so that they would not lose hope.

"Looks like you've got a good idea, Your Majesty. "The Riverside" saw the confidence in Ipeiya's tone.

"It's not a good idea, it's just a gamble. Ipeia smiled faintly.

"It's not your style, Miss. Julian answered.

"The concubine knows that as long as you can find the source of the air current, you will definitely find an exit, but if this city is really the same size as Alexandria, where we live, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, the concubine thought that she had to change her thinking and take a diameter: go to the palace first. Well, of course, there really is a palace to save zài. ”

"Miss, please explain. ”

"Alexander's palace has a permanent teleportation magic circle, which is specially used by members of the royal family to escape the palace in times of crisis. If the city really resembles Alexandria, then it probably has a similar teleportation magic array in its palace. "Ipeia has revealed another secret of the Imperial Family.

"But whether this magic exists is just speculation, and even if it does, more than 3,000 years have passed, and it's still a question of whether it can be used. Dante raised his concerns.

"But even if the magic circle still works, where will it take us? I don't want to put my life on a strange magic of unknown origin again. Obviously, the "riverside people" are still haunted by what happened in the stone chamber just now.

Hearing them say this, the faces of the three Fernandez sisters became more and more ugly, and Milali scolded: "You stinky men, what qualifications do you have to question Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"That's why the concubine said, it's a gamble. Ipeiya said, "If the concubine guesses correctly, then everyone will naturally be happy, if the guess is wrong, the bet is just a waste of time, I don't know if you are willing to gamble with the concubine?"

Since a weak woman has such courage, Julian, who is a man, should not be a mother-in-law, and he said cheerfully: "Okay." Then I'll ......."

"Ahh......h Ahh......h

Suddenly! Ipeya let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground with her head in her hands, her expression looking rather painful.

Since it happened without warning, everyone was caught off guard, including Julian, who was also stunned by the sudden change.

"Your Royal Highness Princess!" the three Fernández sisters were frightened, and hurriedly squatted down and gathered around Ipeia.

But soon, they found themselves in a difficult situation. Because of the parts engraved with the crest of the servant beast on their bodies, Nanokai's shoulder, Sasha's left shoulder, and Milalie's thigh, there was an unprecedented sharp pain, like ten thousand mosquitoes piercing the heart.

Julian, coming to his senses, immediately pulled out the silver cross, and in this case, his healing magic should come in handy.

However, Julian was unable to hold the chain of the cross, and the silver artifact fell to the ground with a thud. Julian only felt a strong feeling of dizziness hit him, and his eyes suddenly went black, and his body, which had lost its center of gravity, fell to the ground limply.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Before losing consciousness, Julian only heard one shout from Dante.

Julian couldn't remember what had just happened.

When he opened his eyes, he only saw a messy market, a crowd of people fleeing for their lives in a panic, golden fireballs fell from time to time in the sky, burning houses into ruins, some fireballs exploded in the crowd, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the people who were still alive frantically fled from this hellish Shura-like city, causing countless trampling incidents, and many people were trampled to death.

Through the walls, Julian saw Ipeia clinging her body to the wall, trying to dodge the crowd scurrying around like headless flies.

"Miss!" Julian shouted.

Hearing someone shouting for herself, Ipeia hurriedly looked in the direction where the voice came from, and when she saw Julian, her frightened and helpless face suddenly came to life, and she tried to get closer to Julian, but she couldn't penetrate the heavy human wall, and was forced back.

In the end, Julian made it to Ipeia with all his might. He picked up Ipeya by the waist, jumped to the top of the wall, and climbed into the courtyard of a house. It seems that the owner of the house is in a hurry, the house is messy, and a lot of valuable things have not been taken away.

"Where are we?" asked Julian hurriedly to Ipeya.

"Here, here's ......" But Ipeiya was also shocked, and she couldn't adjust her relationship for a while.

"Boom"!

A violent assault interrupted the conversation between the two. Golden fireballs falling from the sky blasted the house into a sea of fire. If it weren't for Julian's quick eyes, the two would have died in the flames.

They were hiding in a narrow crack in the wall that the flames couldn't reach for the time being. However, this temporary "shelter" could not last 2 or 3 seconds, and a strong pressure came over like a mountain, crushing the brick wall and throwing out the two people hiding in it.

Julian, whose head was bleeding, got up from the rubble, and the impact was extremely powerful, but fortunately the force was relatively dispersed, so he was not seriously injured. But before Julian could observe Ipeya's situation, he suddenly noticed that his surroundings had darkened. Julian looked up and saw himself in a great shadow.

It was a golden dragon! It flew so low above the ground that Julian could see the lines on every scale on its abdomen. It seems that the power of destroying the two brick walls just now came from its flapping wings.

But even more terrifying is yet to come. After the golden dragon flew overhead, Julian noticed that in the higher sky, more than a dozen golden dragons were roaring and circling, spitting golden fireballs into the ground from time to time, destroying the city and the fleeing crowd.

The team that lost the lead almost had an internal commotion.

Milalie jumped up in pain, lifted Dante's collar, and yelled, "What did you do?"

"Calm down! I haven't done anything. Dante hurriedly explained.

"Don't pretend to be garlic, we are the only ones left here besides you, who else will there be if you don't poison Her Royal Highness the princess?"

"Don't lie on our heads, don't you see that my master fainted too?"

"I don't care what that guy is. Wake up your Highness, or I'll ......," Mirallie pulled out her dagger and placed it on Dante's neck. At the same time, Sasha also endured the pain and rushed over, pointing a dagger at the "riverside man".

They grew up in an environment where there was no opposite sex, and they developed a natural prejudice and wariness of men, so when the crisis arose, Sasha and Milally immediately became suspicious of several men in their company.

Fortunately, there are still more rational people, although Nanokai is also sweating profusely, she still drinks the two cousins: "Sasha, Milalie, stop, there is no evidence that they did it." ”

"Big sister, why are you defending these stinky men......? Hmph!"

Seeing Nanokai's stern eyes, Miralie stopped talking and reluctantly removed the dagger from Dante's neck.

Sasha then withdrew her dagger as well.

"Thank you. ”

Dante and the "Riverside Man" cast a trusting look at Na Kaino, with the skills of the two of them, it is impossible to be so lightly intimidated by these two girls with sharp weapons, the reason why they choose not to resist is because they all believe in Nanokae, and they don't want to intensify the conflict.

By this time, Ipeia and Julian had completely lost their minds, and their faces looked as if they had seen something horrified, and their breathing became chaotic and rapid. No matter how others called, the two of them just couldn't wake up. Although the three Fernández sisters were clear, the pain on the coat of arms was getting more and more intense.

"Why is it just me and Mr. Dent who have nothing to do?" said the "Riverside" to the point.

"Could it be that our three sisters, Her Royal Highness the Princess, and Young Master Julian all have zài magic in their bodies?" said the calm Nanokei with the most likely explanation.

In this team, Ipeia and Julian, who can freely use magic, can generate magic in their own right, while the three Fernández sisters do not know magic, but as animal tamers, they need to use guò alchemy to attach magical servant contracts to their bodies, condensing them into the form of monster coats of arms. If the magic is caused by the free magical energy in the air, the coma of Ipeia and Julian is very consistent with this symptom, and the three sisters only have severe pain near the coat of arms, which may also be due to the existence of magic in the coat of arms;

But what should the "Riverside Man" and Dent do about this increasingly bad scene, which is still free to roam?

Not far away, above the vault of the town hall, stands a figure. In fact, Julian was not dazzled just now, he did see a person.

She was a woman in her last years, shrunk by calcium loss under a tattered gray cloak, and looked to be the height of an 8 or 9-year-old child. On his wrinkled face, his eyes full of vicissitudes are looking at the people in trouble.
