Chapter 288: Storm Sanctuary

Before, it was only a matter of seconds to pass through the portal.

This time, however, Wren found that the teleportation process was more than a dozen seconds long, as if traveling through a long passage.

Because of the super affinity for the void brought by the "Key to the Door", he could see that the surrounding space was distorted to the extreme, and the vast energy of time and space was constructed into a temporary safe route, like a bridge, connecting the two distant worlds.

His gaze pierced through the void, and beyond the "bridge" was the astral plane.

It was an endless ocean of silver, but it was not seawater, it was not up and down, and the gray and white ribbons of light kept churning like distant stars.

There is no concept of distance in the astral plane, and the whole world flashes through the eyes like a dream.

Wren's eyes lit up, and the teleportation was over.

When he came back to his senses, he found himself standing in a wide square. Looking around, a vast and magnificent palace complex suddenly came into view.

All palaces have one thing in common, and that is tall!

They are made of unknown materials, like a mixture of rock and metal, and the stone pillars up to a hundred meters high support the huge temple like the sky, and the huge towers that are higher than the temple, scattered and rowed, connected by long stone steps and delicate corridors between each other, all of which are huge and magnificent, and it is shocking.

Perched atop a mountain, these buildings are invisible, obscured by thick dark clouds that feel like they're floating high in the sky.

The square where Wren is located is located on the edge of the palace, and it is actually a platform, but because of its small size, it is thought to be a square at first glance.

There is no sun in the sky, and no stars can be seen.

In the distance, there were countless winds and dark clouds howling in the sky, rolling all the time, and even with Wren's eyesight, there was no end in sight.

Almost every second, lightning flashed in the sky, streaked overhead, and then came a deafening roar of thunder, a huge thunderous momentum, as if the end of the world had fallen.

Wren noticed that his skin was slightly tingling, and his hairs stood on end.

He glanced at the interface of his mobile phone, and the weather showed that the temperature around him was very low, close to zero, and the energy distribution was even more abnormal, the proportion of the wind element reached 25, and the thunder element soared to 34, which was seven or eight times higher than the normal density, and if two series of spells were cast here, the power would skyrocket!

It is impossible for a normal material realm or plane to have such a unique energy value.

There's only one place where that's going to happen, and that's the Storm Plane.

This plane is between the wind elemental plane and the thunder elemental plane, and it is the transition zone between the two elements, and it is one of the more well-known among the many inner planes.

The portal behind him closes.

Wren looked down, and under his feet was a similarly arranged rune circle, and the light gradually converged. There are several other identical circles on the platform, but they are not opened, and I don't know where they lead.

A deep voice rang out: "Hmm, Bremet, why are you back again?"

Wren turned his head to see a tall figure standing next to the teleportation array.

The other party's height is about five meters, and he needs to look up to see the whole picture, like a male human who has magnified several times, his body is as broad as a wall, and he is wearing a metal armor with a grand style.

This armor consists of a helmet, half-length armor, bracers, skirt armor, and combat boots, revealing strong arms and legs, chunky muscles containing explosive power, and a faint flow of lightning under the light blue skin, which resonates with the surrounding thunder elementals.

Storm Giant!

Wren couldn't help but take a closer look.

He was tall among humans, but standing in front of the Storm Giant, he felt like a five- or six-year-old child, about the height of the other's calves.

The dwarf is even more tragic, and he can only hit the giant's knee when he jumps.

The strength of this storm giant reached the middle rank of legend, and it was obvious that he had been an adult for a long time, judging by his soul, his age was around three hundred years old, his face was mature, and his chin had a short beard.

There is indeed a thunder and lightning affinity in his soul.

In addition, there are many lightning spells, as well as more than a dozen physical elements, which give the Storm Giant a formidable physical strength, and in addition to spell-casting ability, he is also the most outstanding legendary warrior!

In his hand he held a sharp, spear taller than himself, carved with runes, which could be used both in hand-to-hand combat and as a staff for spellcasting.

The Storm Giant's eyes were as bright as lightning, and they fell on Wren's body, implying a little vigilance.

With a snap, tiny lightning erupted from his spear.

"Human, who are you?" the Storm Giant asked sharply, "Bremet, how did you bring outsiders into the Storm Sanctuary?"

Bremet hurriedly explained, "Lodal, he's Wren, and Elder Solim asked me to invite him to the Storm Sanctuary as a guest. ”

The Storm Giant's face softened and nodded.

"It turned out to be a guest of the Elders. A smile spread across his face and he said in his less proficient Imperial Chinese, "Welcome to the Storm Temple, I am Lodar, the guardian of the teleportation platform." ”

"Your Excellency Lodal. Wren responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

He speaks Giant, and with the help of a translated dictionary, the intonation is very standard, and although he doesn't have many words, it's easy to use for simple communication.

Lodal was extremely surprised, and couldn't help but look at Wren carefully, full of curiosity.

Bremet said, "Lodar, let's talk back again, Wren and I will go to see Elder Solim first, we can't keep him waiting." ”

"Okay, you guys go. The Storm Giant watched the two of them go.

Exit the teleportation platform and enter the palace complex.

Wren looked at each stone step that was more than half a meter high, and was a little troubled, this was a step built for giants, and it was too inconvenient for humans to walk.

Bremet skillfully restored the Earth Bear to its massive size, then jumped on it and said, "When there was no 'Big Horn' before, I hated walking around the Storm Sanctuary the most, it was torture. ”

Wren laughed and climbed onto the Earth Bear's back.

The dwarf drove his pet to run as he said, "The Storm Sanctuary is the supreme sanctuary of the Storm Giants, once dedicated to the god of giants, and during the Second Age, there were up to six temples on the Storm Plane, but as far as I know, this should be the only temple that has survived. ”

Earth bears weave through the complex.

Wren looked at the majestic palaces, courtyards, towers, and exquisite corridors and gardens around him, all showing the splendor of civilization and superb craftsmanship.

This god-like giant kingdom made him feel small, as if he was in a dream.

Not far from the platform, Wren saw the other Storm Giants.

There were not many of them, and they gathered in twos and threes, either fighting in the huge arena, or sitting in the courtyard chatting and communicating.

There are also storm giants who meditate on the top of the tower, practicing spells against the endless storm.

Most of the Storm Giants are adults, with more men than women, the ratio is about two to one, each of them has strong strength, wears uniform armor, has a thunder and lightning affinity in their souls, and the giants with outstanding talent also have wind element affinity, and can easily master the two systems of spells.

As the Earth Bear passed by, the giants cast their gazes.

They seemed to be familiar with Bremet, occasionally greeting each other, and then all looked at Wren curiously.

Obviously, very few humans visited the Storm Temple, and it immediately attracted the attention of the giants.

There were thirty or forty storm giants encountered along the way, most of them were high-level giants, and there were seven or eight legends, all of whom were proficient in combat melee and spells, and their strength was much higher than that of ordinary legendary transcendents.

Wren also saw a Titan!

The titan was noticeably taller and stronger than the others, standing over eight meters tall, sitting alone on a platform and contemplating the storm in the distance, undisturbed by the other giants.

Even though he sat still, hundreds of meters away, Wren could still feel the terrifying aura from the Titans.

Wren looked away from the Titans, looked at the Storm Sanctuary of Notda, and thought:

"There are too few giants. ”

The vast majority of the temple was deserted.

He noticed that the Storm Sanctuary applied a lightning energy, and that all the energy for the facilities, lighting, and circles seemed to come from some source deep within the Temple.

This lightning energy is much like electricity, keeping the temple running.

More than seventy percent of the buildings were in darkness and dead silence, and outside the area of the giants, there were many palaces that had collapsed and become ruins due to lack of energy.

The scarcity of the population is the death of the Storm Giants, and it is impossible to restore the Temple, let alone restore the glory of 10,000 years ago.

A moment later, the Earth Bear stopped in front of a huge palace.

Wren looked up, this palace was located in the center of the Storm Temple, more than a hundred meters high, stone pillars that required dozens of people to hug, arranged on hundreds of steps, the main entrance of the palace was wide and bright, taller than the city gate, capable of five or six giants side by side.

On either side of the main entrance, stand two massive colossias of them.

The Colossus resembles a Storm Giant, but it is thicker than the Giant, ten meters tall, its entire body is made of a dark blue metal, there are lightning runes on its limbs and torso, its eyes are lit up with electric light, and when Wren approaches, it emits a roar of energy inside, and he turns his head to look.

The surrounding lightning elements were boiling, and a piercing sound of electricity was heard.

Wren sensed the danger and quickly stopped.

"This is the Thundercast Colossus guarding the Temple, you're here for the first time, and they don't recognize you......"

Halfway through the dwarf's words, the Thundercast Colossus seemed to have received an order, and its energy stopped.

They revert to a standing posture, like sculptures.

Wren looked at him in amazement, this colossus was more powerful than the mechanic's mechanical golem, not only did it have rudimentary intelligence, but also the energy to drive them was amazing, and it was obvious that the technology was more advanced than the rune steam engine.

He was curious, how to drive a colossus weighing at least a few tens of tons?

It would be nice if I had a chance to touch it.

Wren thought to himself that it only took a second for the metallic touch to sense the structure of the Colossus and give him an idea of how it was made.

At this time, a loud and magnetic voice came from the palace, as if it came from a distant time and space, reaching the soul, which made people feel awe.

"Distinguished guests from afar, please come in. ”
