"Power...... Magic, Guardian of Goodness......"

Natsu discerned the mottled handwriting.

The text on it is scarce and has been rendered illegible by the scorching heat and other factors.

Gladys can't fly, but she has her own way. I saw that she shot a transparent silk thread and stuck to the rock wall, and then it moved quickly in the air, and this solid spider silk made her easily come to Natsu's side from a distance.

"Can you read the words?"

When Xia found out that Gladys was coming, she also stared at the words on it with her eyes and asked her in a voice.

Gladys shook her head, indicating that she didn't understand the words.

"That's ......"

Xia was a little disappointed in his heart.

The origin of this spider queen is very mysterious, and she thinks that the other party is staring at these words because she knows them well, and it seems that she is just pure curiosity.

"This gray particle is supposed to be volcanic ash."

Natsu covered her nose and looked at the gray spots floating everywhere in the air, this thing is not a beautiful snowflake, but debris erupted from a volcano, strictly speaking, it is dangerous to the human body, so it is not suitable for staying here for a long time.

"Stephanie, is there anything like this gray in the city ahead?"

Now the little Lori in black has not flown out of the distance of the call, she asked in her mind.

"Only in the heart of the city, master."

The little Lori in black quickly replied:

"I tried to remove the stealth just now, the air inside is not very good, but it should be able to circulate, and there is a bad smell in the air."

"It doesn't matter if it smells bad, just breathe."

Xia had already exercised her adaptability in various harsh environments, and she didn't care about this:

"Let's go to the edge of the city and take a rest, and you can keep flying."

She thought for a moment, and instead of letting Gladys use the silk thread to hurry away, she hugged her body and flew her over the eruptive magma with her flame wings.

"This talent for transformation is really amazing, although her body is heavier than the average girl, but it definitely not to the point of spider form, otherwise it would be difficult for me to hold her."

Gladys liked to be close to her, her limbs were entangled in her body, her face was buried in her arms and she smelled, and the tip of her nose was a little ticklish.

"It's a big city."

Xia flew for a while, and a bleak scene appeared in front of him.

"No wonder Stephanie said this is a ruin, unlike a dungeon."

She frowned and landed on a cliff, looking at the huge ring-shaped city below.

It is said that it is a city, but in fact it is more like a super-large village, because the houses are very loosely distributed, many of them are simply built directly on the trees, unlike the old witch's treehouse, these houses do not feel eerie at all, even if they are now wreckage, you can feel their beauty and nobility from the remnants.

"The host...... I flew around the city and found no sign of anyone. ”

The little Lori in black flew back to the distance where she could talk to Xia, and kept looking for human tracks, but not to mention the gray dwarf, she didn't even find a living creature.

"Do you want to go to the front and have a look? The master, that is, the place covered in dust. ”

The little loli in black flew to the middle of the ring.

Below her, what should have been the most prosperous part of the city turned into a dark pothole, and the center of the city seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

"Take a look, and if there's any problem, tell me right away."

Natsu, who was on the edge of the city, only saw the gray fog in front of him, but did not see the big hole in the center of the city.

Hearing that there was no one here, she flew down with Gladys in her arms and stood on top of a building that looked like wings.

The air was filled with the smell of sulfur and an unknown scorching stench, and she looked down at the ruins in front of her from the building, trying to reconstruct it in her mind's eye.

After imagining it for a while, her heart sent out an admiration:

"If there is such a city on the earth, I'm afraid those rich people will find a way to live in it."

"Master, except for the middle place, I haven't gone down to check, I've searched all the other places, and I haven't found anyone, not even a mouse."

Half an hour or so later, news came from Stephanie.

"Go down?"

Natsu didn't understand what she meant by the word.

"Master, just come here and take a look, there's a big hole here."

"Okay, wait for me."

She spread her wings again, Gladys followed her closely on the ground, and the two soon came to the center of the city, and when they saw the huge black hole, Natsu's heart suddenly burst and stopped moving.

"About 80 of the city has been destroyed, and only this broken ring on the periphery remains, and the lava field we saw just now should have been part of the city, master."

The black-clothed little Lori flew out of the smoke composed of gray particles, came to her side, and took out a weathered stone tablet from her skirt:

"This is what I found on a high platform."

She handed the stele to Natsu, hugged her neck and said:

"It looks like ancient elven writing on it, master."

Also here?

Xia looked at the stele carefully, looked at it for a long time, and finally recognized only five complete words, and the others were no longer recognizable.

"According to the grammar of the High Elves, the three words in the middle should be connected ......"

After thinking about it for a long time, she returned the stele to the little Lori in black:

"We can't see anything from that, so we'll look everywhere."

Then he turned to Gladyse and instructed:

"The two of us are searching the air for suspicious places, and you should be careful not to go near that big hole in the ground, there may be danger inside."

In fact, Gladys is more sensitive to danger than she is, and this sentence is just an expression of concern.

The three of them began to explore the circle area separately, and Xia Fei entered a relatively well-preserved house nearby, and found that there was a thick layer of dust accumulated inside, and the items were no longer recognizable.

She picked up what looked like a pot and knocked on the wall, shattering the spot where her fingers touched it, and it looked like it was rotting terribly.

"If you use wind magic, maybe even the house will collapse with a bang, so let's look elsewhere."

She threw down the broken jug and flew out of the house.

"Master, I found something!"

The little Lori in black flew over happily, holding a box made of metal in her hand.

"I'll see."

Natsu took the box in his hand and opened the lid with a gentle force.

Even the metal zuò box, which had been made extremely fragile by the long years, then turned into pieces in Natsu's hand, and a shimmering object fell from it.

Natsu's reaction was very fast, and he immediately picked it up with his hands, and a teardrop-shaped stone appeared in the black glove.

The stone was covered with a thin layer of dust, and she tapped her finger at the surface of the stone, and a faint air currents swept through it, and the dust dispersed, revealing a portrait of a human figure.

"Elf...... And it's a male elf. ”

Xia looked at the man and whispered.

The ivory-white skin, handsome appearance, and pointed ears that express racial characteristics all prove the identity of the person in the painting.

"Master, this guy looks a little arrogant."

The little Lori in black looked at the male elf and expressed her opinion.

The male elf in the painting has long blond hair, his chin is slightly raised, as if he is looking down on all beings, a pair of green eyes reveal fortitude, and the corners of his cold mouth are arrogant, and he does seem to have a sense of arrogance.

"It may be a bit inaccurate to say arrogant...... This should be called domineering. ”

Natsu wasn't interested in male elves, even if they looked like 28th-century stars, so she swept the stones for a long time, and finally focused on the name at the bottom.

"Ilivio ......"

Seeing the name, Natsu's hand trembled violently.

The little Lori in black rubbed her eyes vigorously beside her, this action was learned by her and Xia.

"Ruler of Hosenheim...... King of the High Elves! ”

The eyes of both men were filled with horror.

"How did his portrait end up here?"

"It can't be that there are also worshippers of the ancient elven kings among the underground residents, right?"

Xia's fingers pressed slightly, pinched the round stone in the shape of a droplet, and found that its hardness was beyond imagination.

Then he held it in the palm of his hand and squeezed it with all his strength, and the stone was still intact.

"Cangchang."

She drew her sword.

"Master, are you going to break it?"

The little Lori in black hid to the side and said in surprise.

"No, I'm going to see how strong this thing is."

Xia grabbed the long sword with both hands and slammed it into the middle of the stone!

"Boom!"

The long sword was shot back, and the stone lay there quietly, all the dust on the ground was swept away by the sword, and there was not even a trace on the stone.

This sword was originally used to seal the Demon Grand Duke, and it was beyond imagination that it could not leave a mark on a stone, which was simply an unbelievable thing.

"Let's go, let's go back."

Natsu took the stone in his hand, spread his wings and flew towards the place where the teleportation array had sent them.

"Master, do you want to wait for Spider-Woman?"

The black-clothed little Lori asked after her.

Xia looked at Gladys, who was rummaging in the distance, shook her head and said, "It's better not to let her know about this matter, I will tell her that we are going to search somewhere else, let her stay here first." ”

She had a faint guess in her mind.

This guess was so amazing that even she couldn't believe it! R1152
