Chapter 2 Stone Giants Bombard
"By the way, Xani, did you give the Eye of True Vision to the little saint?"
"Uh-huh, Xiaomeng doesn't have the ability to use real fantasy now, so it's better to replace it with the Eye of True Vision for the time being."
"But... That's a forbidden weapon, you just give it to the little saint for such a baseless thing, aren't you afraid that the guy who set the rules will blame? ”
"Huhu, it may not work to hand it over to someone else, but Satsuki has absolutely no problem, she has never been within the scope of the rules. And, even if she blames it? We're just working together, and she's not in a position to tell me what to do. ”
"The eldest sister is mighty!" X3
……
Qin Yue took Xiao Chu Feiyue's hand and walked on the stairs that circled around the tower. From time to time, she looked down at the map in her hand to see where she was and how close she was to her destination.
According to the description on the map, the top of the clock tower is the entrance to the Courtyard of the Dead. However, according to the description on the map, the clock tower seems to have 999 steps...
Pit daddy, who is going to be tired of so many steps! Why do you have to climb the stairs when you invented the elevator early in the morning!
Qin Yue touched the fine sweat on her forehead, gasped a little, looked up at the dome that was getting closer and closer above, and thought with some resentment.
But I don't know if it's an illusion, she always feels that the higher she goes, the more space inside the bell tower becomes, but when she looks down, the stairs are parallel.
I guess I was dizzy... She shook her head, turned her head to look at Xiao Chu Feiyue, and was immediately choked by his thunder.
I saw that this little guy was holding on to the windowsill next to him, jumping and looking out. However, due to his height, he always only saw a small part of the view. Sensing Qin Yue's gaze, he also turned his head, opened his big watery eyes, pointed to the windowsill with his finger, and looked at her with a longing expression.
"Ahh Why! ”
This is, look at the view from the window. Qin Yue smiled slightly at her brother's cute expression, and bent down to pick up Xiao Chu Yueyue. Little Purple Fur lay on the window made of unknown crystal, her eyes wide. Looking down from the window here, you can already overlook the entire Elf King Capital. The pedestrians on the streets have shrunk to the size of ants, and buildings, no matter how tall, have been turned into tiny models by the magic of distance, looking fragile as if they could be smashed with a slap. The only building that can be compared to this place is in the northern part of the Elven King's capital, among a large number of beautiful buildings. Qin Yue pointed the map in her hand at the obelisk that also stood out from the crowd and got its message.
[Bavaru Grand Magic Library: Built at the end of the Ancient God War, it survived the war. The oldest library of the Holy Sky Empire, it is also the center of the Demon Dao of the Violet Flower Enchantment of the Elven Kingdom, extracting endless energy from the leylines to support the daily operation of the Violet Flower Enchantment. The interior of the library is a complete half-plane with countless books. For a variety of reasons, the tower itself has become self-conscious, becoming an individual rather than a mere building, so be careful not to offend her. 】
It's a library, it's amazing!
After staying in front of the window for a while, Qin Yue hugged Xiao Chu Feiyue off the windowsill.
"Ahh Ahh ”
The little guy didn't want to leave, his little hand grabbed the fence in front of the window, turned his head and shouted loudly to this Qin Yue.
"Obedient!"
Qin Yue's eyes widened, and Xiao Chu Feiyue immediately let go of her hand and honestly let Qin Yue put herself on the ground. Qin Yue couldn't help but laugh and looked down at the cute little thing holding his clothes, squatted down, and tidied up the plain white robe on his body for him.
"Brother."
She whispered with a smile and mixed feelings.
……
The 999 steps are long but will eventually run out. After nearly half an hour of stop-and-go, Qin Yue and Xiao Chu Feiyue finally reached the top of the bell tower and came to a pale platform.
The platform is very empty, and the surrounding meaningless white walls are shining with a light similar to the wattage of energy-saving lamps, illuminating the entire platform. And on the wall opposite the staircase, there is a very vivid relief of the mud star.
Following the instructions on the map, Qin Yue led the protagonist of the book to the relief of the stone giant.
"Hello, Mr. Janitor, my brother and I are going to enter the Death Courtyard, and this is our letter of introduction."
It is also according to the map, and the request is as small as possible. After speaking, Qin Yue spread out the back of the map in his hand and pasted it on a specially smoothed part of the relief.
Well... It's probably like swiping a key card, and even the fluorescence on the sensor screen is very similar to the sound of "beep-".
The relief's originally closed eyes slowly opened, and it first circled up and down twice before the focus of its gaze was locked on the two "small" creatures at its feet.
"Heiress of the Holy Maiden of the Starry Sky, Inheritor of the Goddess of Dreams, no wonder... Please come in, and extend your warmest welcome to the Garden of the Dead. ”
The loud but magnetic male voice echoed in this small space, Qin Yue frowned slightly, did not say anything, but took Chu Feiyue's small hand and saluted the relief again, and then took down the map attached to the relief.
A blinding white light lit up on the relief, and caused a chain reaction of the pale slate on the ground. Under the strong light, Qin Yue subconsciously covered Xiao Chu Feiyue's eyes with her hands, and closed her eyes tightly at the same time.
"Alright, you can open your eyes." In the darkness, the sound of the relief sounded again. This time, however, it was less deafening.
Qin Yue opened her eyes, and the bright sunlight stung her eyes slightly. It took a little getting used to it before she could see what was in front of her.
A huge white jade arch towered in front of her eyes. On the beams of the arch, there are four symbols with very different writing styles, which are connected to the meaning of "Courtyard of the Dead".
Four words, four primordial elves, one person wrote one. This is the last trace of the primordial elves left here, and it also contains their deep blessings here.
Their storage has exceeded the upper limit of this small world where the speed of time flow is a hundred times that of the outside world. After completing the final step of the construction of the Courtyard of the Dead with these four words, they left this world forever.
Underneath the massive arch was a wide stone pavement wide enough to accommodate eight wagons running side by side. On both sides of the road, rows of huge oak trees stand. These kind-looking old oak trees lowered their eyes one by one, and their wrinkled old faces showed a serene expression. A gust of wind blew, floating the leaves of the oak trees, and there was a rustling sound, like the whisper of life.
Of course, maybe it's just this group of long-lived wisdom trees snoring...
However, from the perspective of Qinyue, it is like a picturesque fairy tale world, full of dreamy atmosphere. If the fantasy of the Dream Flower Garden is the unreal fantasy of the little girls, then the dream here is a beautiful vision for the future. And the dream of the elf king capital is the unremitting pursuit of perfection to the extreme.
"Beautiful, isn't it?"
The magnetic male voice behind her woke Qin Yue from the amazement of the beautiful scenery, and she turned around to look at the statue behind her, which was covered in golden yellow, with several huge red crystals growing on her chest, back and shoulders, and her body was covered with red magic patterns extending from the red crystals. The very majestic-looking mud star man tilted his head.
Strange, why does it feel that this stone giant is much better looking than the one next to Yueyi?
Yes! Maybe it's because the head doesn't grow on the waist...
"Hello, Mr. Stoneman, are you the guard here?"
Qin Yue glanced at the white wall behind the stone giant and asked softly.
Qin Yue's question made the golden-colored stone giant stunned slightly. Then he let out a loud laugh.
"Hahaha, that's right, I'm the doorman of the Courtyard of the Dead. My name is Boomstone, and it's a pleasure to meet you, the future Starry Sky Saintess. Oh, and the heir of the goddess. ”
Qin Yue blinked, a little strange how it seemed that no matter where she went, someone could recognize her as the future Starry Sky Saintess. Is this kind of thing written on the door of my head? Thinking like this, she couldn't help but stroke her smooth forehead.
"Since Mr. Boomstone is the guardian here, can I ask what I should do next?"
"Quite simply, the Courtyard of the Dead is an academy-like closed half-plane, and the flow of time inside the plane is a hundred times faster than that of the outside world. Well... You should know all of this, and I won't explain them one by one, so you should treat this place as a full-time semi-closed school. Since it is a school, the first step is, of course, to report it first. Take the letter of introduction that Sunny gave you and go to the college's admissions office to sign up. ”
"By the way, you must remember to hide your identity as the heir of the starry sky saint and goddess, if you don't want to be watched by other students as a rare animal... Also, there are not only elven students here, but also many people from other races, and there are not a few who have a bad feeling towards elves. Although the students didn't really do anything under the noses of the teachers and the house guards, small bumps with each other were inevitable. But I think it's also a good opportunity to make friends, after all, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, and it's also part of the peace between the various races of the empire. ”
"Okay, I'm not going to waste your time, go and report for duty. Happy college life! ”
With that, the golden golem took a few steps back and slammed headlong into the white wall. In the faintly lit white light, the huge body of the stone giant gradually disappeared, and a carved portrait of the stone giant appeared on the white wall.
Mr. Boom Stone turned out to be the stone giant in the relief.
