Chapter Ninety-Four: Auston's Determination
The road to the inner city is not very easy to walk, and the chain reaction caused by the collapse of the imperial tomb directly leads to the destruction of the foundation, which cannot be restored by repairing on the surface in a short time.
In many places, there are large-scale cracks in the ground, and the original whole floor tile is broken, and in some places there are even depressions or protrusions.
Before the imperial city flew into the sky, it was possible to use a maglev vehicle to travel, but now it is not possible, and the change in altitude directly causes these originally convenient vehicles on the ground to lose their original role. And the more primitive vehicles that rely on wheels are even more powerless in this landscape.
Auston led the way, followed by the Pope and Loclay, and the High Priest was fine, but His Majesty the Pope, who was faltering on the flat ground, was suddenly miserable when he walked on such a deep and shallow road. Auston blushed a little, the other party is an old man who is several generations higher than Gray the Great, and in terms of identity, he is a leader of civilization that has been passed down for many generations, although Hanina has just experienced the baptism of war, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt, but it is really unseemly to let such a big man with such an identity suffer such hardships with him.
The road ahead is becoming more and more difficult to walk, and even the road can no longer be seen, the surrounding buildings have begun to collapse, and in some places there are even cracks that cannot be walked through, and the main road is blocked by masonry and rubble, and if you do not take a detour, you can only climb with your hands and feet.
Of course, Auston can unfold the metal glider on his back and easily get over these obstacles. And Lockry, as a high priest, is definitely a great expert in the attainment of divine arts and the use of holy power, how can he be blocked by a mere rough road?
And what about His Holiness the Pope? Don't look at him as if he is in old age, as if a gust of wind can blow him down, but if he moves, Auston and Lockrier are not enough for him to fight with one hand.
Since the Pope insisted on walking on foot, the two of them could only accompany him. His reason is also very simple, holy power and divine magic are the power of God, which can only be used to help each other and punish the wicked, but cannot seek convenience for himself out of selfishness.
After walking for a while, Lockriel saw that his surroundings were becoming more and more familiar, and sure enough, Auston finally stopped where he had been rescued.
It's just that the huge sinkhole that was originally dug out to save him has been surrounded by layers of high walls, leaving only a small door, and there are people guarding outside.
Along the way, Loclay only saw ruins and many displaced refugees, but not many patrols, which shows that even in the face of great disasters, the security here is still under control, and the tenacity of the Hanina people can be seen. But here there are fixed guards......
Lockrell glanced at Auston, and saw that he looked strange and his movements were stiff, and anyone could see that he was hesitating repeatedly.
The guard in front of the gate immediately became nervous when he saw someone approaching, and only relaxed when he saw that it was General Auston himself who was in charge.
"General!" The two of them gave a military salute in unison.
After Auston solemnly returned the salute, he said slowly: "I... I will take these two distinguished guests down, and you will continue to keep watch outside, and no one will be allowed to enter without my orders. ”
The two guards were a little strange, accustomed to the general's resolute manner, and it was the first time they had seen him speak so weakly, but they still responded immediately, and turned to open the door behind them.
The entrance to the cave in front of him was pitch black, still in its original form, and it was clear that Auston himself had never gone down again. Lockriel walked closer with the Pope in his arms and explained the situation to the Pope in a low voice, just enough for Auston not far away to hear.
"The general took me to revisit the old place, it seems that the things buried under here are not simple."
Auston turned around and said with a wry smile: "I don't know if this decision is right or wrong, strictly speaking, I have committed treason." ”
Lockry's eyes widened, and he looked at Auston in disbelief, his name as the god of the Hanina army was not called for nothing, if the man in front of him would be treasonous, then there would be no loyalty in this world.
"Below this, there is the mausoleum of the royal family of Hanina, but there is also a hidden scientific research secret room related to the secret of Edla's bloodline, if it were not for Her Majesty Vena not being able to meet Emperor Gray for the last time, the Emperor would never have conveyed it to Her Majesty Vena through my mouth."
When Auston said this, his eyes looked at Lockell intentionally or unintentionally, not only had he been in this top-secret location, but even Locker, an outsider, had sent someone in, but he had never mentioned it before, because he didn't want to embarrass his confidante, and it was harmless to mention it again at this time.
Because he is now going to take the initiative to take outsiders into this forbidden place again.
Loclair frowned, and was about to speak, but the Pope sighed: "The general is loyal and righteous, Hanina suffered this catastrophe, the main army was exhausted, the whereabouts of the young lord are unknown, and he has encountered such a crisis, I am afraid that any country would have collapsed a long time ago, Hanina is still proud, and it is all supported by the general, presumably Her Majesty Vena will never blame the general." ”
Auston nodded, and led the way to the passage.
It was pitch black underground, but fortunately, in order to pull the seriously injured Auston up, Lockrell had made a lot of stairs to climb and tread, otherwise it would have been a problem for the Pope to go down by himself.
After walking straight for half a day, it took a long time to get to the end, and as far as the eye could see, this was a huge underground fortress, and it could be seen that it should have been a perfect spherical shape, and the surrounding walls were inlaid with finely cut and polished metal plates, but now it was a mess, and many of the metal plates above the dome had fallen, revealing the rock wall behind it, and even if it didn't fall, it looked crumbling, and there were many broken curls.
Deep underground, it was a ruin, and there was no artificial light source to see it, but after Auston turned off the lights, it was not as dark as he imagined.
Looking up, at the very top of the dome, a large circular hole penetrated a beam of light, which shone right on the massive space-time converter below.
Not far from Auston, there should have been a pool of bright red blood, but now it has turned black, and it seems that he and Vina are still parting from life and death at that time.
Lockriel and the Pope looked at Auston, wondering what he had brought him here for.
"That machine... It was Hanina's greatest secret, and it was through it that Vina escaped. ”
Vina's whereabouts have always been a doubt in everyone's minds, not to mention Lockel, even Hanina's people don't know where their Majesty has gone, and Auston has always kept silent about it, if it weren't for his character enough to dispel everyone's doubts, I'm afraid it would have caused chaos a long time ago.
"You mean... Her Majesty Vena was trapped here with you at the time? Lockriel looked around, although it was in ruins, it could still be seen in its original appearance, this huge spherical space was obviously a special building built for some kind of energy gathering, and it was impossible to store something like a ship warship.
But if this is the case, even Auston is seriously injured and trapped, how can Vina escape here alone?
"Yes, I was seriously injured at that time, but it was through which His Majesty escaped." Auston said slowly, he had already violated the will of Emperor Gray by bringing the two of them here, and he was at war with heaven and man all the way in his heart, and he didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong.
Only now did he really make up his mind and no longer hesitate!
The biggest secret of Hanina and Edra is the magical bloodline of the "Star Seal", which can connect the planet and use the origin energy of the planet, which contains such a powerful power that people can't help themselves just thinking about it, but if the enemy knows about it, how dangerous the situation Hanina will face is also chilling.
It's a double-edged sword......
However, this secret has not yet been figured out by the Edra clan itself, but the ancient elves have already known it, and Nolz has even designed a series of conspiracies against Vina because of this, and he will not hesitate to subvert the top of the alliance to get it quickly, if it were not for the awakening of Vina's fire ability in the end, the two of them may have been buried deep underground, and Hanina will also become someone else's plaything.
Not only that, but what made Auston even more suspicious was that even Iru, an outsider from an alien realm, seemed to know this power, and now that he thought about it, he probably pointed out that he wanted to see Vina for this purpose.
A secret, he hasn't figured out whether it's a blessing or a curse, but there are already so many people who know it better than himself, it has lost the need to keep it secret, Auston has no other ideas, he just wants to figure out what the "Star Seal" is as soon as possible, and find the way to Vina's side as soon as possible.
And now the only one who can help him, and who can be trusted, is the Pope of the Colandis system, who has maintained an alliance with Hanina for many years, because he is the only one who has been in contact with Iru.
Auston took a deep breath and began to narrate everything from the beginning.
