Chapter 224: The Lost City
"Hmph, I'm so embarrassed, I don't know what those idiots up there are thinking! Even if we have to end the war under the pressure of the Holy Land, at least wait for the Orrosa Castle to be in hand! As long as there is another month, another month, that fortress will be ours!" Norton, the leader of the army, roared in the Baier tent. But as always, there was only one person in the audience, "And you, Castro! A few days ago, you removed nearly eighty percent of the people from the 'Yellow Sands', did you deliberately block me!?"
"Ah...... Yes, yes......" Castro replied perfunctorily, visibly absent-mindedly.
"What!hmm......" Norton's expression turned serious, he knew that his friend, who had always been conscientious, was definitely not the kind of person who would perfunctory himself, and at this time, the anxiety in Castro's eyes could barely be hidden, "Whew...... What's wrong? Castro, you're not in the right state. ”
"Uh...... Okay, anyway, the report should be delivered in a while, but am I that obvious?" Castro sighed lightly and expressed the worry in his heart: "I received a report a while ago that there was an area in the Lost Desert that was full of wind and sand, and I sent a few people over to investigate the situation. In the end, only one high-level spellcaster escaped from a top-level team, and even the high-level warriors who accompanied them were lost in the sandstorm, and the news they brought back was ...... Not too good. ”
"Top team, squad or team?" said Norton, his face slightly gloomy, and he was equally aware of the seriousness of the matter.
"The team, one high-level spellcaster, two high-level martial artists, and a total of nearly twenty middle-level warriors, in the end, only one person came back alive. ”
"What?" Norton was shocked to hear this answer, "What happened to them, and what news did that survivor bring back?"
"The detailed report is not out yet, Soyana...... Well, it's the surviving high-level mage, she only spoke a few words after she came back and lost consciousness, and she still hasn't recovered. Castro smiled wryly, "In the few words she left before she fell unconscious, there was a magnificent fortress in the depths of the Lost Desert. Just as the two high-level martial artists led the team to investigate the situation, the sandstorm suddenly became dozens of times more violent, and if she wasn't in charge of spell support and response, she might have been lost in the sandstorm. ”
"What? It's just a sandstorm, can't even the upper echelons carry it?"
"What's more...... In the past two days, I sent a bunch of people to investigate the situation, but the senior leader of the team had just sent a report that the sandstorm had covered an area of 100 miles, and it was impossible to even see normally in it, and it was hazy two meters away from the line of sight, and there was nothing else that could be heard except the wind and sand whimpering. He barely penetrated into the sandstorm area for less than fifty meters before he dared to move forward, but in just these fifty meters, the high-level spell shield was changed nearly ten times, and several fifth-order magic crystals were consumed. ”
"This ...... It's useless to pull up a legion in the past. Norton smacked.
"Yes, so everything has fallen on our 'yellow sand' head, and I'm worried about this these days. Castro, with a wry smile on his face, sighed again, this matter is indeed more tricky for him, "But at least you don't need to dwell on the issue of Orosha Castle, the 'sign of catastrophe' in the mouths of those people in the Holy Land may indeed be true now." ”
"Hehe, I thought you weren't listening......" Referring to this, it was Norton's turn with a wry smile, "Okay, I'll just assume you're comforting me." ”
......
"Wow, this is spectacular!" The tornado storm in the Western Desert with a diameter of 100 miles was sweeping through the sky, and the storm was already under martial law by the Bayer army, but none of this was anything to Kayla. She was observing the sandstorm up close, not to mention being hindered, and no one could even detect her presence. As for the magnificence in Kayla's mouth, it is not the thick sand curtain formed by this storm at all, but the rules of the evolution of spatial elements that have been stirred up like a mess.
If the normal space of the Oder Continent is regarded as a large web woven by the rules of the elements, the caster's teleportation spell is equivalent to borrowing one or several rule lines, allowing the caster to "slide" through it smoothly without affecting the entire network.
As for the spatial blockade of the Orro Castle besieged by the Bayer Empire's army before, it tied a slipknot in the space around the castle to form a slipknot of the regular lines that formed the network, so that the caster could not easily use those lines to achieve the purpose of obstructing teleportation, but it still did not destroy the integrity of the entire network.
Even the few spatial rifts that Liu Li had seen leading to another world were just cutting off a few regular lines and extending them into another world.
But at this time, this tornado storm located in the depths of the Lost Desert is tearing the spatial network within the shroud to pieces, and all the regular lines are broken, even if the part is complete, it is only one in ten - this is not something that human beings can do at all, even with Kayla's super-level strength, if they want to tear the rule lines into this state, they may be able to cover a range of several meters with all their strength, and it is impossible to exceed ten meters in diameter, let alone this terrifying storm with a diameter of 100 miles.
"Are you out?" A flash of white light flashed, and a miniature version of the white dragon appeared beside Kayla out of thin air, with crystal clear blue eyes, a slender neck, and holy wings, none other than the emerald tiles known as the Reincarnated Dragon King.
"I guess it's going to take a while, it shouldn't be that fast. ”
"I really didn't expect it to fall out, I don't know if there will be any problems with the little ones inside. Unable to ignore it, it could see at a glance that hidden behind the storm sand curtain was the dragon city that was originally located inside the shattered "Heavenly Realm". If it was an empty city, it would be fine, but Liu Li's previous experience let it know that there are still its people there, relying on this remnant territory to thrive in that broken world for thousands of years.
"Anyway, Cuiwa, you still haven't figured out why that city fell out?" It's normal for Kayla to have this doubt, once the entire "Heavenly Realm" was separated from the Ode Continent because of the existence of Cuiwa, and it can be said that that world is an extension of Sister Bailong's life. As the center of the whole world, Dragon City has a lot to do with Cuiwa. At the beginning, when the "Heavenly Realm" had not yet been shattered, Cuiwa could sense the existence and direction of Dragon City no matter when and where he was. It's just that now this magnificent city is about to completely fall into the Ode continent, but Tsueva didn't have the slightest idea of its existence before coming here.
"Maybe we've been separated from me for too long...... "Tsuiwa murmured softly as she stared at the looming, illusory shadow in the sandstorm.
The "Heavenly Realm" is an extension of Cuiwa's life, and the Dragon City, as the center of the "Heavenly Boundary", is an existence as important to it as the heart, not to mention that the Great Elder Winter of the White Dragon has incorporated nearly half of the matter of the "Heavenly Realm" into the Dragon City. When Dragon City truly fell into the Ode Continent and came into close contact with Cuiwa, the Ancient White Dragon King even had the confidence to reshape his body with the material contained in it.
It's just that the kind-hearted white dragon is still hesitant to do this, the inhabitants of that city are its only remaining kindred, and they are used to life in Dragon City, and Cuiwa is afraid that a rash change will affect his kindred.
"Alright, Cuiwa, don't think about it so much, this city is just a shadow now, everything is really integrated into the Ode continent, and it's not too late for you to get in touch with that guy called Winter before making a decision. "Kayla and Tsueva have lived together for thousands of years, so how could she not guess what this partner is hesitating.
"Ha, you still want little Kayla to worry about me, I've really failed as a guardian. ”
......
"Whew, it's more comfortable to look like this, Landuo, your transformation spell is really powerful. William stood in front of the mirror, looking at the familiar appearance of the person in the mirror, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile. However, he quickly frowned again, William had just stepped forward to take a closer look at himself in the mirror, but his feet were crooked, and he almost fell to the ground, "After getting used to the state of having a tail, it is really difficult to maintain balance when this sudden loss of time." ”
"That's, you don't even look at who I am, now my caster level has surpassed you, big ~ senior ~ brother ~!" Landolia replied without looking back while taking care of the scaly girl who had problems even standing normally due to her change of form.
What Landolia didn't say was that what she used on William and Sheila wasn't a transfiguration spell at all. This spell, which she named "True Manifestation", was created by the witch after studying the black ancient runes.
Landolia is originally from the "necromantic realm" and is extremely familiar with the death element. Coupled with the fact that she has the blood of Crohyth, it is not difficult to parse the black ancient runes. "Embodiment of Reality" involves the soul level, which is the high-end use of the "death element".
The effect of this spell is to target the soul state of the living individual, constructing a physical body that is in line with the current world, although the essence is still illusory, but it can avoid the influence of world assimilation. William's appearance is not exactly the same as when he disappeared, and the passage of time has also left its due mark on this false body, at least Wells will not have the slightest sense of disobedience if he continues to call him "Brother William" now.
As for Sheila's state, it can only be said that if this scaly girl was born in the Ode Continent, then she should be like this when she grows up to the current age.
"Alright, Tina, don't keep a straight face, he's back anyway, isn't he?" Wells said, gently rubbing Tina's smooth blonde hair.
"But......" Tina was in turmoil at the moment, and she had been looking forward to the day when her father would return and the family could be reunited...... But this does not include bringing back a "little mother" for her by the way when she returns.
Tina was present when William recounted all these years, and she had actually accepted Sheila in her heart. Tina knew that if it weren't for the careful care of this scaly girl, her father might have taken even more reckless action against the spatial rift, and might even die in a foreign country.
But the conflict between reason and emotion left her at a loss as to what to do, and Tina's greatest concern was how her mother would react when she hurried back to Erenor City when she heard the news of her father's return.
"Okay, don't think about it so much, what you need to do most now is to give your father a long-lost hug. ”
