Chapter 945: One Question and One Answer
"Is it Severie Belmonte? Did you know our whereabouts from Sevenie Belmont?" said Leo, deliberately digressing the subject.
"Yes. Alice didn't provoke Sylvia again, but followed Leo's inquiry and said, "Not long ago, I heard from Sylvignie that a woman who looked exactly like her appeared, and I knew it should be you. β
Hearing Alice say this, Leo was slightly stunned and said, "Did you know that Xiweni was not Sylvia?"
Alice nodded and admitted, "There are some suspicions, but today is considered to be confirmed." β
Leo asked curiously, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here because I'm from the Belmont family. Alice replied with an unintelligible answer, and when Leo was about to ask for more details, she raised her hand to stop Leo's movements, and then walked towards the balcony and said, "Let's get out of here first, and I'll explain it to you on the way." β
As she spoke, she came to the balcony, and with a wave of her hand, she saw a hovering car that looked more like a military vehicle coming from one side, parked on the edge of the balcony, opened the door, and put an aisle out of it on the balcony.
Alice stepped into the car, then turned to Sylvia and Leo, waiting for them to make a decision.
Leo and the two looked at each other, quickly understood each other's thoughts, and without saying anything, stepped onto the hovercraft.
As the doors closed, the car sped over the steel city, heading towards the wall Sylvia had previously mentioned.
"Would you like to have a drink?" Alice asked as she opened the hidden wine cabinet next to her chair, pulled out a bottle of wine.
Leo shook his head, and Sylvia asked for a drink.
After handing the glass full of wine to Sylvia, Alice also poured herself a glass, and then said while drinking: "Our Belmont family is not native to Veron, nor is it from the Black Forest, our Belmont family comes from a world of destruction that was swallowed by the abyss, and before that world was completely integrated into the abyss, our family escaped from the abyss and settled in Lanxi City, becoming one of the many families in Lanxi City. β
After saying this, Alice deliberately stopped, and then looked at Sylvia, as if waiting for Sylvia to ask for more details.
However, Sylvia didn't have the slightest intention of asking, she already knew that her family was from the abyss, and as for how to escape from the abyss, she didn't need to know any details about this kind of thing, because the results were already there, and it didn't matter if the details were known.
And there are some things that don't need to be asked, because from Alice's words, she already knows some secret things, such as Leo's previous guess that there is an abyssal rift here, which should be confirmed to be true, the Belmont family escaped from the rift and then joined Lancy City here.
Alice pursed her lips a little boredly, and then continued: "We were able to settle here not for no reason, in addition to the fact that we did not mutate, and because there was a lack of warriors here who could withstand the tides of the abyss, our Belmont family helped those guys resist the abyss, and they gave our family the status and power in Lancy. β
Leo asked suspiciously, "In that case, what about the Belmont family of Velon?"
Alice said with some contempt: "In the long family history of any family, there will always be one or two alternatives, and the ancestors of our lineage are no exception. β
Sylvia's mood seemed to calm down a lot at this time, and she asked indifferently, "How did you return to Lanxi City?" As far as I know, there is no record of the Black Forest and Lanxi City in the family. β
"There is no record of the family, and even if there is, it has been destroyed in the past. Alice acknowledged Sylvia's claim, but after a moment of conversation, she added, "But although words can be destroyed, the memories contained in the bloodline cannot, and when you stimulate the bloodline, you will always get some memories of the past." It seems that the memories you get don't include the Black Forest and Lanxie, but I'm different, I get some memories of the Black Forest and Lanxie, and eventually I choose to return here, back to where we are supposed to be, and keep the vows that our family made in ancient times. β
"You are free to enter and leave the Black Forest?" Sylvia suddenly thought that when Alice disappeared, it had been a long time since she was born, and if Sylvine Belmont was her sister, then there would definitely be no big difference in age between the two, so Alice would definitely have a way to return to Veron after coming to Lancy City, so she confirmed.
"As long as you have permission from Bailu, you can freely enter and leave the Black Forest. Alice raised her right hand and opened her palm towards Sylvia, revealing her palm.
Sylvia was a little dazed, because she couldn't see anything in Alice's palm at all, but instinctively felt that there was a force in the palm, but Leo was different, he who also had the mark of the white deer could see the mark on Alice's palm very clearly.
Sylvia didn't dwell too much on this matter, and instead asked, "You just said that the Belmont family made an oath in ancient times, what is that oath, to help Lansey City or the Black Forest resist the erosion of the abyss?"
Alice shook her head with a smile and said, " Of course not, resisting the abyssal tides again and again is just a transaction between us and Lanxi City, not an oath, our oath is very old, so old that when it was still in the abyss, as for what the oath is, I can't answer you accurately, because the oath is rooted in the blood of every Belmont family, and when you know, you will naturally know what the content of the oath is, but when you don't know, even if I explain it to you, you will definitely not know, and what you will hear will only be some nonsense that has no meaningγ β
"Can you tell me about this Lanxi City?" Leo suddenly interjected.
"I'd love to tell you what Lancey City is, but I don't know. Alice smiled bitterly and said, "In the past, before the Belmont family came to escape from the abyss and came here, Lanxi City was already standing here, blocking the erosion of the abyss on this world, and some people say that Lanxi City is as old as the Black Forest was formed. β
"Impossible!" Hearing this, Leo immediately and decisively denied this similar boastful statement.
Alice looked at Leo with some confusion, not understanding why the other party was so sure.
"Nothing, you can continue!" Leo didn't explain, but gestured to Alice.
Alice could sense that Leo must know something, but she didn't want to ask too much, so she continued according to the previous topic, and said: "I don't know exactly what Lanxi City is, but the legend is that it is a huge ship, this ship is different from ordinary ships, they fly in the starry sky, just like some legends and stories in the world of Veron, the ancestors of Veron came to the world of Veron on a huge ship. β
Sylvia said in a deep voice: "Maybe the legend of the Velony World originated here, and the people of the Velonon World also originated here, so there will be the same legend." β
"Perhaps! it's a pity that it can't be confirmed!" Alice said, shrugging her shoulders as she spoke, "A lot of information about the past history of Lanxi City has been lost or destroyed in the disaster. β
Leo asked, "Why was it lost and destroyed? β
"Why do you think that there are no foreign enemies in Lanxi City?" Alice asked rhetorically, stunned.
Leo explained: "It's very simple, the only people who can be enemies here are those gods who have fled to the Black Forest for refuge, although Lanxi City is powerful, but in my opinion, Lanxi City is not strong enough to compete with any real gods, if it is an enemy of the gods, Lanxi City should have disappeared a long time ago." Since Lanxi City can stand in the realm of the gods of the Black Forest, it also has an extremely special status, so I guess that Lanxi City should have some kind of agreement with the Lord of the Black Forest in order to be able to obtain the equal respect of these gods. β
"Yes, you guessed it! You're still as good as I remember, and you can deduce a lot of secrets with just a little bit of information. Alice looked at Leo with admiration and said, "Lanxi City does not have external enemies, but Lanxi City has an abyss, if you add a stupid leader, then there will be a situation where the inheritance of Lanxi City is broken." I don't know exactly what happened, but I know that it happened before the Belmont family came to Lanxi, and it was said that the speaker of the Lanxi City Bachelor's Association said that he wanted the scholars to watch the battle between the soldiers and the abyss monsters in Lanxi City at close range, so as to find the monster's weakness and specify a targeted attack strategy. But what I didn't expect was that I thought it was just a small tide, but it suddenly turned into a big tide, and some lord-level abyss monsters also rushed up, and the result was that all the wise men of the Lanxi City Scholars Society who were on the battlefield at that time were killed in the war, and there was a knowledge gap in the inheritance of Lanxi City. As she spoke, she sighed and said, "But our Belmont family should be grateful for this knowledge gap, because without this fault, it would be impossible for our Belmont family to escape from the abyss, and we would have been burned to ashes by the flame of doom in Lanxi City when we were close to the exit." β
Sylvia asked curiously, "Flame of Doom?"
"A legendary weapon recorded in ancient texts, it is said that even the gods are afraid when they see it, and whenever an irresistible monster appears in the tide of the abyss, that weapon is activated, and then spews the flame of doom, burning everything that tries to climb out of the abyss. Alice sighed heavily when she said this, and said, " It's a pity that the disaster back then, there was too much knowledge lost, a large number of weapons and devices hidden in various areas of Lanxi City, used to deal with different enemies and situations have been lost, if it weren't for the fact that there were still some scholars who didn't participate in the viewing ceremony, and finally survived, plus some families who were close to the bachelors saved some documents on the use of equipment in the city, this can be regarded as stabilizing the situation inside Lanxi, and slowly recovering the existing knowledge layer until today. β
At this point, Alice suddenly stopped and turned her head to look out the window.
At this time, I saw a high wall connecting the dome from the ground to the edge of the city, stopping the spread of the city.
"This is the wall. Sylvia couldn't help frowning as he looked at the wall that was getting closer, because he felt that the power in his body was being invisibly suppressed and interfered, although this suppression and interference was not particularly strong, and it did not affect her to exert any strength, but this interference easily penetrated the defenses on her body and directly acted on the power of her bloodline.
In fact, it was not only Sylvia who felt the power being suppressed and interfered with, but Leo also felt it, but it was not aimed at most of the power in his body, but only at the power of the abyss and the power of the abyss in the body of the crystallized serpent in his arm.
To this end, Leo activated his vision, and activated the true eye in his vision, and looked towards the wall, only to find that a special black oil substance formed by the power of the abyss appeared on the surface of the wall.
It's just that this black oil substance is different from the black oil substance he saw before, those black oil substances are like they are alive, they will flow everywhere without hindrance, infecting some living things that can be infected, but the black oil substance here has no vitality at all, it seems to be solidified into a block as if it is dead, it looks like a wall tile supported by black oil, and on the surface of the black oil is a relief of monsters, how strange the shape of these monsters is not to mention, the important thing is that these monsters give Leo the feeling of being an extremely painful wail, and this invisible wail contains a kind of power that cannot be seen by the real eye affects everything around, which may be the reason why the power of the abyss is affected.
"What do you see?" asked Leo as she didn't hide her expression when she saw the secret of the wall, which also caught Sylvia's attention.
Leo didn't hide it, but told what he saw.
Sylvia believed Leo's words, but no matter how she used to see the wall, it was just a metal wall.
However, Alice seemed to think of something, and said in a deep voice as she watched the flying car fly against the wall towards a platform passage that stretched outward in the distance: "Everything you see should not be an illusion, as far as I know, the Wall of Sighs was built with special materials, and each material is mixed with the remains of a large number of purified abyssal creatures. Although these remains have been purified and no longer spread, they still contain some power, and what you see may be the appearance of power produced by the combination of these powers. β
