The entrance from Shadow City to the Undercity seems to be heavily protected, but it is actually full of loopholes, and with Hathaway's ability to identify friend and foe from the battle puppet, the process of going down to the Undercity is easy.

But that's not the real entrance to the Undercity......

The team of Richie, Tina, Gwentorin, and Sakhina stepped out of the teleportation circle and saw the usual underground cavern. The fluorite lamp stretched out a dimly lit path flanked by craggy stalagmites and the sound of ticking water.

The power suppression felt here is not much different from that of Shadow City, indicating that this is still a part of Shadow City, and the real entrance is still ahead.

A floating car was boarded at a place similar to the station, driven by Sakhina, and galloped along the road. When you pass by the stalagmites that act as lampposts, you can see dense notches.

Most of the nicks are blurred, and only a few words can be seen in some places around the edges. Basically, they pray to the gods to bless those on the upper and outermost levels. There are those who ask for the goddess of magic, those who ask for the lady of the night, the god of the sea, the god of the water element, and even the god of the gods.

"For tens of thousands of years, the Undercity has been the last refuge in the Storm Isles, where the old and the sick take refuge every time a storm or tide occurs. It's the safest and warmest place in the Storm Islands, where everyone relies on each other. ”

Gwentoline sighed and said: "A thousand years ago, the sub-mask was legalized, and I thought it would be retained as a permanent refuge in the Storm Islands, but I didn't expect it to be retained, but it became a ......."

Looking at these nicks, Li Qi's heart also fluctuated.

If you compare the Storm Islands to a luxury cruise ship, Shadow City is a cabin with no portholes below deck, and Undercity is the engine room at the bottom. Unlike a real cruise ship, the three areas of the Storm Islands are isolated and can only be accessed by a few lanes.

This three-story design can be seen full of humanity, and in times of frequent disasters, the Underground City is the safest, sheltering the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled. The Shadow City is the next best place, housing families and civilians. On the outermost level, high-level mages leaned on the magic tower to add an additional layer of protection against the terrible storm fury and magical tides.

It's a pity that after the legalization of the secondary mask, the same design has become an excellent carrier of class society.

The road is rough and long, and occasionally when you pass through the open area, the side of the road is covered with dirt bags and wooden crosses that symbolize death.

"Many of the people who were brought to the underground city were seriously wounded, and they couldn't hold it anymore and were thrown here to be buried, and I don't know how many corpses had accumulated over the millennium. In each grave here, there are several, if not dozens, of people buried. ”

Gwen Tolin explained lightly, Sakhina subconsciously tightened her neck, and Tina also lifted her invisibility and leaned against Richie.

Li Qi asked, "You are familiar with this place, have you been here more than once?"

The former saintess smiled, as if laughing at herself: "I have been here many times, and let the people of the Dawning Society sneak down with me, use stealth props to come down, and even disguise themselves as prisoners and blend into the team. All means were exhausted, but I never had the courage to step into the real entrance. ”

Real Entrance ......

Anyway, the meeting will come, and Li Qi is not in a hurry, and chats with the former saintess about Hathaway.

Hathaway was already the patriarch of the Ted family, but her mother lived a shabby and poor life in the Shadow City, which was too unusual. Even if a mother is in charge of the Dawning Society on behalf of her daughter and stabilizes the situation in Shadow City, it doesn't make sense.

I don't know if Gwen Toline really sees Richie as a quasi-son-in-law, or if she doesn't feel the need to keep it secret, and tells the secret past that makes Richie, Tina, and Sakhina all feel swaying.

"Ever since I was born, I've been on the radar of several wizard families. Ted, Sulomon, Susis, Menesus, and Solrin, all five of the Golden Families have a share. ”

"Since you're with Hennie, you should know about the existence of the Night's Watch. The Night's Watch is a position that has been held by the five families on a rotational basis for tens of thousands of years. This one was Hennie's mentor, Gal Juha Menesus, who had become a ...... Seventy years. ”

"The night watchman is responsible for fulfilling a promise made by the lady of Chinese New Year's Eve with the magician, and I don't know what it is, but I know that one of them is that the holy daughter of the night lady came to help the holy woman fulfill the mission she undertook. ”

"I, the Holy Maiden, am just preparing to welcome Hennie. When Hennie was born, I lost my status as a saint. ”

Hearing this, Li Qixin said that this is indeed the case, in the last Golden Revolution, the three golden families of Sulomon, Susis, and Sollin were all wiped out, and I am afraid it has something to do with it.

"There are no secrets about Hennie's origins, thirty years ago, I married a concubine of the Ted family. With Menesus' help, he took the position of patriarch of House Ted. Then I gave birth to Hennie, and thanks to the blessing of the Night Lady, her extraordinary talent for magic quickly manifested itself, and at the age of sixteen, her part of her consciousness as a saint awakened and rose to the rank of legend. ”

"When Haynie was eighteen years old, her father died in an accident exploring the outer planes, and she took over as patriarch. Then, following the arrangement of the Night Lady, he left the Storm Islands. Exactly what was done, no one knows, including Menessus and herself. Five years later, the year before, she returned to the Stormed Isles, where she and her mentor launched the Golden Revolution, leading the Stormed Islands into a new era. ”

"I didn't expect her to be ...... with her Mentor, it turned out to be a rupture, and it seems that there is a difference in the understanding of the mission of the Night Lady. The Night Lady fell asleep again, unable to arbitrate their differences. ”

Li Qi muttered in his heart, so after all, Hathaway is actually only twenty-five years old, as old as himself in his previous life.

"Why am I staying in Shadow City?"

When asked this question, Gwentorin's face was filled with bitterness and regret: "Because only in the Shadow City, with the help of that barrier, can my existence be hidden." In the Storm Isles, the agreement between the magician and the Night Lady is only circulated among the Golden Family, and it is a secret that cannot be put on the table. The magicians of other families don't take it seriously and don't necessarily approve of it. ”

"Hennie is not like me, she can learn magic and disguise her sainthood. ”

"I gave birth to Hennie in the City of Shadows, and I saw her once, and I was ...... by her The mentor and the father took it away. Fortunately, they were afraid of affecting Hennie's state of mind, so they didn't hide my presence from Hennie, nor did they stop her from meeting me. ”

"Sometimes I feel like the barrier that hangs over Shadow City is just for me. Pity hundreds of thousands of civilians who are still suffering with me......"

Speaking of this, Gwen Tolin coughed softly to hide his emotions, but Litch still felt the overflowing kindness and pity.

Is this really the saint of the Night Lady?

Shouldn't the Night Lady be a god who sows discord and instigates conspiracies everywhere, but fears that the world will not be chaotic?

How is it that in the Storm Isles, he gives the impression of being like the goddess of mercy? The cultists of Shadow City have associated him with the goddess of dawn because of an oracle.

"That's just the underground church, the conspirators, and the villains blaming the Night Lady for their evil deeds, and the Night Lady has always been concerned about how the world is changing," Gwentolin said. At some point, His actions may be evil to some people, but in the longer term, more people may be good. ”

Indeed, as one of the most powerful gods, the Night Lady is concerned with the whole of Finn, but she has no interest in conspiracies in one city and one country, and she does not care about tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of human lives.

Gwentoline continued, "At the end of the night, the dawn falls. For several epochs, the Night Lady was always like the goddess of the dawn, rising and falling, reciprocating. Now that He is asleep, it means that the Dawn is really coming. ”

Wait, that's not right!

Li Qi frowned: "Shouldn't it be 'the night is forever, the dawn comes'?"

"This is the real oracle, the oracle that is circulating outside, but it was changed by the Dawn Society to maintain the faith of the Night Lady", Gwen Toline uncovered another secret.

Li Qi asked, "So what do you think the dawn refers to?"

Gwentoline laughed, "Of course it's Haynie......"

She let out a sigh of satisfaction: "When I think of her, I am very proud, the loneliness and pain of the past few decades are nothing. ”

Huh? And that's the way it goes?

Thinking about it, it makes sense that Lady Night uses Hathaway as a proxy to continue to do things in the new era.

The float turns into a deep valley with a bay-like spot below, where the dark tide gently rises and falls, lapping against the shore. Just looking at it brings a suffocating sense of fear.

Gwyntorin's face sank and he whispered, "Except for this place......"

Standing on the shore, looking at the dark tide of the sea, Li Qi and the others had a numb scalp, this is the entrance?

"Yes, I once secretly watched, escorts pushed people onto the beach, and the black tide rose and engulfed them," Gwentolin said. ”

Li Qi was speechless, this is the entrance to the River Styx! Isn't it death to be swallowed?

"No, I can feel it, it's the entrance to another world", Gwentorin's voice trembled slightly, "Every time I get closer, I can hear something calling to me." The voice struck me as dear and terrifying as if something more terrible awaited me than death. So...... Several times I mustered up the courage to get close to the Kuroshio, but I stopped. ”

She looked at Li Qi, her eyes full of help: "You can go in, you can find the truth, right?"

"I can only hear the sound of the tide, it's not a kind voice, it's the sound of death," Richie smiled wryly, and then turned to Tina, "It's up to you." ”

Tina's face was as white as powder, and she looked at Li Qi pitifully: "If I die, I will be buried with a hat, and then put the bag under my pillow in my hand, which is all the salary I have received so far." ”

..................

Shadow City, the illusion above the head flickered, as if it was about to shatter and dissipate at any time. That's too many operations to monitor and suppress through the barrier, seriously interfering with the mirage.

The bandage man Fan Si threw away his crutches, slung the magic fire bomb on his shoulder, and said to his companion, "If I die, I will definitely not find the body, remember to engrave a sentence on the tombstone, he was once a handsome man who made women scream." ”

"I haven't screamed," Quicksilver said with a smile, carrying the Magic Fire Bomb as well.

"Whoa," Red Horn muttered, lifting the thicker Magic Torch.

Van Si counted: "Three, two, one...... Fire!"

Together with the others next to him, more than a dozen fireballs shot straight out, blowing up the entrance to the teleportation hall to the ground amid the frightened shouts of the guards.

A large number of warriors wearing armor emblazoned with various legion insignia and carrying magic spears rushed up to fight the guards.

This was just the tip of the Shadow City, and elsewhere, bands of Shadow City guards and civilians flocked to various targets. Some attacked the teleportation channel, some destroyed the magic channel, in short, in the "vision" of managing the Shadow City with the help of that barrier, the Shadow City was full of smoke and chaos.

In the midst of the chaos, streams of people and supplies flowed into the Shadow City through the passages that had been controlled by the rebels. Some are supporting the rebels, while others are coming together to prepare for the next move.

"The Supreme Magic Academy, the Supreme Council Internal Guard, and the Silver City garrison are all still loyal to Menesus, and most of the families in Silver City are either on Menesus' side, or they are riding on the wall and watching, and even the power of the Ted family has withdrawn from Silver City, and we will not be able to gain a foothold in Silver City for the time being. ”

"Now we can only gather strength through Shadow City, and then set off from Shadow City, take the bridgehead in Silver City, and crush the recalcitrant Menesus reactionary forces in one fell swoop!"

"I know that the prospects of this revolution are not yet fully understood, and that many are still skeptical, and have come here only out of indignation at the tyranny of Menesus, and have not yet exerted all their strength and determination to move forward. ”

In the tavern of the Moshiu Inn, Zelder was agitating impassionedly, and hundreds of family representatives listened attentively.

"Let me tell you what an advantage we have!"

"The Ted family is on our side, the Shadow City is on our side, and eighty percent of the families who are not in the Silver City Tower are on our side! Ninety percent of the independent workshops and free mages on the outskirts of Silver City are on our side!"

"What's more, the Alliance of Order is on our side! Duke Prell is on our side!"

"We want to usher in a new era of magic, we want to seize the freedom to develop magic technology, we want to break the monopoly of the Supreme Council and those big families, and we want to carry the revolution to the end!"

As Zold's voice gradually increased, the mage's expressions gradually became awe-inspiring, and their eyes burst into a fiery light.

In the distance of Silver City, there is a floating fleet above the clouds, and floating ships of various family emblems are constantly joining, and the fleet is getting bigger and bigger.

On the bridge of the flagship ship with the Ted family crest on the bow, a black-haired female legend in a rich purple robe sat in the command seat.

Hathaway asked, "Uncle Gordon, how's it going?"

The middle-aged legend said respectfully: "The declaration of condemnation of Gal Juha Menesus has been sent to all the families in the night, and the "Magic Guiding Technology Open Bill" has received the response of the vast majority of small and medium-sized families, and now we have gathered close to three hundred warships, which is enough to destroy the resistance of Silver City. ”

"Yes, the defense of Silver City has been fully activated, but looking at the deployment of the floating fleet and the fortress artillery, they are all acting according to the original vigilance plan, and there is no coordination between them, I judge that your mentor did not personally command. ”

Hathaway waved his hand and said, "If you attack strongly, there will be a lot of casualties, so it's better to wait until there is chaos inside Silver City before acting, you can send some fast floating ships to exert some pressure first." ”

"We do need a new Storm Isles, but no one wants to start from scratch on the ruins," she said, her eyes focused on the void as if she were looking at another world, a faint worry on her face.

Shadow City, an entrance to the Underworld, where a large number of floating cars roared in. Countless demon warriors and battle mages jumped out of their cars, driving the tall and stout battle golems towards the small force that blocked the entrance.

"Fight, destroy, destroy ......"

The tall silver-armored warrior swung his sword and shouted, "Smash, old world!" 10
