(As explained in the chapter on a weekend outing, the Marina City Fishing Tournament was taken over by humans from other civilizations, and that most of the original creatures on this planet have mutated or perished under the stimulus of alien creatures.)

At that time, the ruler of this planet was the Ghost Race, and in the original biosphere of this planet, only this vein had evolved. ）

"Colin is so strong!"

"Someday, I'll be as strong as Colin too! Uh-huh! ”

The tired Yue heard the cheers of her companions, and it was not until this moment that she suddenly realized that everyone who had become depressed because of the loss of their companions now seemed to be inspired by Colin's guy, and their emotions became a little high, and their gray eyes flowed with smart brilliance again.

Sighing weakly, Yue glanced at Colin, did not speak, leaned back against the withered tree, and stood up from the ground with difficulty. I want to ...... Get stronger!

The attack of the Escape Beast was forcibly quelled by Colin's single-handedness. The dust has finally settled on this matter.

There happens to be a hidden stronghold on Planet 24 in the no-man's land, and few people know about it, but maybe it was prepared for this time.

"Let's go!"

Very few people know about this stronghold, and it was already preparing for it when the Sixth World War broke out and was at its peak.

Perhaps my father had already thought about the difficult situation we face today from that time. Father...... Colin opened the map on his watch and followed the instructions to lead his companions to the stronghold where their father had left here.

Walking through the barren wilderness, step by step through the lifeless river.

Colin used his own footsteps to seriously measure the other side of this technologically advanced world.

A few decades ago, it was also a bustling city, with many people from all over the world living here. Grasslands, forests, seas, lakes, you name it all.

At that time, it was not called this name, no man's land.

These are the stories my father used to tell him, and he loved the country he guarded. That is, the Xihua Dynasty that has passed. Colin's father and his teammates were once employed by the royal family here, accompanying the army here, and completing many missions and adventures together.

Did my father realize something at that time, so he prepared all this in advance? With this doubt in mind, Colin pressed his hands against a stone wall and struggled to push open the door of the shelter beneath the ruins.

But the gate stood in front of him, standing still, not at all afraid of his strength.

Dust fell in bunches overhead along the cracks in the stones, and the earthy stone walls were dappled with light and shadow. The shelter is tucked away in a corner of an inconspicuous, crumbling complex, with toppled walls and stones piled up, threatening to fall down and bury the place at any moment.

With all the cover of the ruins, this place can be considered hidden.

Yuzu, Yue, and seven or eight other companions looked left and right, full of curiosity about the ruins of the building next to them. The architecture here is a type they have never seen before. The atmosphere is mammoth in every corner of this place, and the few touches of wind and frost dyed by the cleansing of the years make a few people who slowly walk through the ruins can't help but have a special sense of peace and tranquility in their hearts.

"What was this place before?" Yuzu was curious.

Looking at the man in front of him, I saw a beating lightning on his arm, which sensed the door. There was a heavy smell of history coming from the gate, telling Colin that this place was not built when the sanctuary was founded, but something much older.

The dark yellow lumps formed by the accumulation of dust on the surface of the gate for many years peel off and fall off. Little by little, the audience was revealed what the gate was supposed to be.

The gate was wide and wide, as high as two or three people. I don't know what material it is made of, but the whole has an elegant black and silver color. It is painted with exquisite patterns, and the knife work is exquisite and gorgeous.

"Do you two know about this stronghold?" Yuzu tilted her head and glanced at Yue and Luge beside her, and saw that they didn't know, but just shook her head slightly at herself. Yuzu faces this delicate gate, so what is this stronghold? A hidden stronghold that isn't published in the academy information?

The door opened, and the group followed behind Colin and stepped into the world behind the gate, the interior of the shelter.

What caught my eye was completely different from what I expected. For example, the shelters that Yuzu encountered before, and the strings of verification measures that she would ask for as soon as she opened the door, were not available here.

The world behind that ornate metal door is not what it looks like. However, nothing was left. 80

The interior is very spacious, and it has not suffered any serious damage due to the war. The empty center of the world, where there are several staircases of four or five steps, neat, from several different directions, leads to a quadrangular platform five or six meters high.

It seems that in the recess at the high platform, there should be some valuable items. But now, I can't even see a single hair.

The rest of the place was similarly empty, with occasional shards of porcelain visible at your feet, covered with a thin layer of ash and looking a little old.

"Colin, what is this place?" Yuzu asked curiously. The whole room has an unobstructed view, and there is nothing. Could this be the shelter Colin spoke of earlier? However, the gate outside looks quite sturdy, so as long as you can keep the enemy out, let's use it as a shelter.

"The treasure house of the Xihua Dynasty!" Colin replied blandly. He threw his head up and gasped for breath, now he was surveying the corners of the place. Because this place is as strange to him as everyone else.

"Xihua Dynasty...... Treasury? Yuzu was stunned for a moment, and there were two points that surprised her about this sentence. Is this a treasure trove? Where does this look like a treasure trove? Ah, wait, Colin, you just said ...... Xihua Dynasty? Xihua Dynasty? Oh...... Xihua Dynasty ...... What's that? ”

Yuzu sandwiched the thumb and index finger of his right hand, holding his sharp chin and jaw, in a deep groaning shape.

Although she doesn't know much about the world of technology, she also knows that the Pegasus system is the territory of the federal government. The feudal system of the dynasty should be contrary to the existing system in the technological world. But the words of the Xihua Dynasty...... As she spoke, Yuzu looked up again and glanced at the various striking places in the treasure house.

"The things here should be emptied on the day of the country's demise." Suddenly, Colin sighed softly, and the expression on his face when he spoke, for some reason, made Yuzu feel a little heavy.

At this moment, Yuzu noticed that the partners were attracted by Yue and Luge's movements, and gathered one after another. Yue and Luge were in front of a wall, carefully examining what was on it.

"Is there anything odd about it?" On the side, someone walked up, looked up, and asked about the huge wall.

There are raised reliefs on the walls, which occupy the entire wall, and are painted vividly and vividly.

"It looks like a door." Yue glanced at the man, then raised his head, looked carefully at the relief on the wall, and replied.

"It is engraved with the flag of the Xihua Dynasty, the coat of arms of the royal family, and their history." Colin's voice rang out from behind everyone from far and near. He seemed to have some knowledge of the stories told in these images.

"Colin, what's going on with this stronghold?" Yue asked.

"My father told me about this stronghold before, but I didn't expect it to come in handy one day." Colin walked over and looked at the wall. "Father said that the stronghold was hidden in the treasury of the Xihua Dynasty."

"This is the treasure house of the Xihua Dynasty?"

"Hmm!"

"That is, here, and the collapsed buildings outside." Yue seemed to have discovered a big secret of this world, and there was a strange flow of brilliance in her eyes, and the girl said happily.

Yuzu looked sideways, since Galil's death, Yuzu hadn't seen it for a long time, and at this time, this radiant Yue. Since Galil's incident, that lively and lovely Yue seems to have matured a lot, and even talks a lot less, and only when she encounters something related to Galil will she rarely become active.

"This used to be the royal palace? Wow, I've grown so big, I've grown so big...... It's the first time I've seen a royal palace in a fairy tale! Even though the palace had already been destroyed, this was the first time I had seen it. ”

Yuzu looked at the wall and saw a diamond-shaped hole in it, if it was really a door, "Then we are missing a key." ”

At the same time, Yuzu's ears were untouched by a loud bang, and his ears were suddenly empty, and he couldn't hear anything.

The electric snake jumped on his arm, and Colin punched through the wall, simple and rough. The metal walls melted into water and flowed down the edge of the remnant wall to their feet, burning to the point of a scarlet glow. "Let's go ......"

Yuzu couldn't help but snap her tongue, a little speechless at the bad style of this guy who doesn't follow the procedure.

Yue immediately shouted dissatisfaction. "Hey, that stinky orangutan, this is the palace! Palace! You barbarian! Hum! ”

Behind the wall, there is indeed space on the other side.

Passing through the water curtain and walking across the natural stone bridge, the soles of your feet seem to be like an abyss. There is no cave here, different from the palace style just now, and it is full of science and technology.

When he walked to the hole on the other side of the bridge, a moss-covered robot, its eyes suddenly lit up, glowing a gentle blue, and looked straight at Colin and the group.
