041 Pearl of the Orient
readx;? The leader of the sand thieves was thrown down, and soon sank in the lava and disappeared. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info In such a high temperature, not only the flesh and skin, but also the bones and other things will be completely melted. What is the principle of the demon race's resurrection of this person's body, Linya does not understand. But she really didn't believe that when the cells of the organism that made up this person were completely broken down and destroyed by the heat, and the molecular structure was changed, they still had the ability to reassemble.
The crowd surrounded this big bluestone from afar, and they all sighed in their hearts, but no one spoke. Linya stood silently in front of the big bluestone, this time she injected ice magic until the stone cooled down again. Then, she successively placed a magical shackle made of the six systems of magical energy of light, dark, water, fire, wood, and earth on this large bluestone. No one will be able to open this bluestone unless another person who is proficient in all six systems of magic breaks the shackles.
"Alright, Lord Kinrik, I have to trouble you to help carry this big bluestone away, find a place where no one will find it, and dig a pit and bury it. Remember to dig a little deeper, and fill in the sand cover so that you don't leave any traces. I don't think you want this guy who has killed countless dwarves to be found again, do you?" said Linya, and Kinrik hurriedly agreed and took the people with him.
The crowd gradually dispersed with their own thoughts, but Linya stayed there all the time, quietly looking at the direction of Qingshi in a daze. Susanna, who was guarding the side, looked expressionless, but her heart was churning like a stormy wave.
What's wrong with my little princess? She wasn't like that before, she couldn't have done such a cruel thing. What was the reason for her change? was it because she had seen the Doomsday Messenger demon last night? or was it because of ...... Suzanne couldn't help but think of the black gem that the werewolves gave to the little princess in the southern oasis, and the scene of the little princess's white wings turning black appeared in front of her eyes again.
Since then, the little princess has fully mastered the magical energy of the dark system...... Is it because of this? Oh my God...... Suzanne didn't dare to think about it anymore. No, she couldn't let this go on any longer, she couldn't let any dark forces erode the sunny purity and kindness of Her Royal Highness. But what should she do?
After a night of tossing, I can finally rest. For many people, this sleep is probably difficult to fall asleep. However, Linya slept soundly, sweetly and peacefully. She was really tired, too. When I woke up again, it was already afternoon. The passage to the Xc area has not yet been opened, so there should still be nothing to do today.
Before she knew it, Linya remembered the thriving city of Bella she had seen in her supernatural state last night. Ports, docks, big rivers, sea boats, streets, urban areas, it feels so embarrassing. She didn't seem to be in a good mood today, so she wandered around the camp, finally found a large rock and sat down, summoned the moonlight harp and played it. Music is always a great way to ease your mood. This time, she unconsciously played the famous Pearl of the Orient, and then sang softly along with it. However, the lyrics were changed slightly.
"The creek bends eastward and flows to the sea. The beautiful Bella of the Pearl of the Orient, is your style still romantic? The moon bends the harbor, and the lights are shining in the deep night. The Pearl of the Orient stayed awake all night, keeping the promise of vicissitudes of life...... Let the sea breeze blow for thousands of years, and every teardrop seems to speak of your glory. Let the sea breeze accompany me to bless you, and please don't forget my thoughts that will never change my dreams......"
This is a song with a gentle sadness and a touch of longing, to remember the once brilliant seaside pearl city, which seems to be in line with the artistic conception. After singing the song, Linya, who was a little too focused, realized that Markelil and Mimiyuria had come to her side and sat down.
"That's a nice sound...... said Marckelle with admiration. "Of course!" Mimiyulia said in a disdainful and rightful tone, "Sister Linya's singing voice is unmatched by anyone in this world, and even those fish-men may not be able to compare!"
"Sister Linya, did you make up a song specifically for the city of Bella? I don't know why, I feel as if I think of the city of Bella, the memory of its prosperity, and it seems to be with a gentle sadness, I want to cry......" Makriel ignored Mimiyuria, and said to Linya with some sadness.
Hey, I can't imagine that she can hear the emotional elements in the singing and music, who said that dwarves don't understand art? Oh, it seems to be Mimiyuria.
"yes...... The former city of Bella is like a bright pearl standing by the sea, dazzling and shining at the end of the east of the world, but it is a pity that time is gone, and in the end it can only leave such a desolate ruin for future generations to remember, which is really sentimental!" When Linya finished speaking with great emotion, Marcleel suddenly burst into tears and cried sadly.
"Uh...... Sister Marcle, don't ...... like this" Although Linya was also a little sad, she suddenly realized that this seemed to be a good opportunity to get close to each other, so she stretched out her arms and gently hugged this cute little Lori into her arms, and gently comforted: "It's okay, I believe that one day in the future, New Bella can become a beautiful and prosperous ...... like this"
"It's all that abominable Suselus...... It was his curse that had made Abella what she was......" Marckelle sobbed sadly. Looking at the elf girl with an embarrassed expression on the side, Linya could only smile bitterly. "Actually...... Sister Marcleel, what I want to tell you is that Abella has become the way she is, and I am afraid it has nothing to do with the gods of nature......"
"Well, why?" Linya's words surprised both girls. "Well, according to my understanding, it is an inevitable consequence that Abella has become such a large desert as it is now, and I am afraid that in the end it is the problem of the dwarves themselves, not because of the curse of some god of nature. It's better to find your own reasons than to make excuses......" Linya said, suddenly realizing that Marcel's eyes had become a little strange, and quickly stopped. It really doesn't seem good to say that in front of an elf. And to explain the truth to them, I'm afraid it can't be explained clearly in three or two hours.
"Why do you say that?" Marcriel was really blinded, just like the last time Linya talked about the moon, although she instinctively couldn't believe it, but reason told her that Linya had a very reasonable point...... Linya always seems to know a lot of knowledge that no one else would otherwise know, and her wisdom seems completely incomprehensible.
"This ...... I don't know what to say. Forget it, let's not talk about that, it's boring, it's meaningless. Anyway, there's nothing to do today, and since you all like to listen to songs, why don't we keep singing, okay? It doesn't matter if you can't sing, I can teach you!"
On the night of March 9, 4124 Astral Era, the mercenaries worked in shifts to remove the obstacle at the entrance to the XC section of the ancient city of Beila. However, looking at the passage of the black hole, Linya refused to enter the city to explore immediately, and at her strong request, the team rested for another night until all the team members were recuperate.
At the same time, Linya also took the time to strengthen the mercenaries' weapons with magic water again, and she also specially prepared some spare consumable magic weapons, such as fireball crystals that can explode, wood elemental potions that can heal wounds, etc. After all the preparations were made, the team cautiously drove into the Xc area, Linya was indeed very worried, since there are so many ghost state spirit bodies in this city, it is very likely that there are all kinds of undead creatures and undead creatures, the devils must like to do that kind of thing the most, and they have to guard against it.
However, it was somewhat surprising that the team walked for a long time without encountering any danger. Up to the hall on the first floor, where the torches were shining, nothing strange was seen. The whole city was silent, and not a single mouse could be found.
Satyra led the team to the upper floor, the trapezoidal pyramid built on the top of the mountain, the Temple of the Earth. The central hall dedicated to the goddess Maeve has accumulated a lot of dust, and even the statues of the gods and attendants are covered with dust, and it is obvious that no one has been here for a long time. The garrison next to it was also empty, there was not a single living person, and there were no corpses or anything to be seen.
The dwarves roughly cleaned the temple and then turned downward. The dwarves began to talk about the disappearance of the garrison, and all kinds of rumors became the subject of discussion. Linya knew they must have all died at the hands of Doom and the demons, but she couldn't say anything until she found evidence of corpses or something. She can't tell these people that she's made a deal with a demon, can she?
As time passed, the team had already found the area on the third basement level, until they reached the largest square in the center of the city. The road was still unimpeded, nothing was seen, and of course, there was no trace of the garrison. As this boring exploration deepened step by step, without encountering any dangerous situation, the mercenaries' originally tense nerves gradually relaxed.
Seeing that he had reached the seventh layer of the underground, he was not far from the dwarven palace at the bottom. Could it be that the messenger of doom today really magnified the fake? Or because they really wanted to abide by the non-aggression pact so they didn't send anyone out to make trouble? If the devils can also change sex, then it will be too sincere. As she deepened, the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger in Linya's heart.
The mercenaries apparently didn't know that in this coming real world, the lowest level of the city had become a hell of lava and fire. It is absolutely impossible for those devils to give up their territory...... Linya was thinking about whether to tell them the truth, but she didn't know how to explain how she knew it. Do you really want to tell them that you know how to prophesy? You don't lie!
"Captain Satira, there should be no one here, there is no need to look for it any further, it is better to tell everyone to go back. Linya said this to Satyra for the fourth time. If there is really any danger, it is easy to run away alone, but what about these people? Do you want to leave them here and wait for death?
Linya's words were no longer in anyone's doubts. Of course, Satira would not ignore Linya's advice, and he seemed to be able to sense a certain sense of danger from Linya's warning, but after thinking about it, he looked around again, and finally he could only say helplessly: "There are only three floors below, and there are still two military camps that have not been investigated, and the palace should also be checked." If you want to see people in life, you have to find the corpses even if you are dead, right? The life and death of more than 300 people, it is impossible to run away without even finding a shadow. Since I've finally made a trip, I always have to figure things out. Otherwise, His Majesty would not be satisfied, and perhaps not even a commission!" said Sattila with a wry smile and spread her hands.
Linya didn't know what to say. "If there must be a beginning and an end, then we have to cheer everyone up, what does it look like to giggle like this, so as not to have any accidents......"
When Linya was still knocking on the side to remind her, the opportunity was gone. Suddenly, an ultra-high-frequency scream sounded, people hurriedly covered their ears, and when they opened their eyes again, there was a fierce wind around them, mixed with black fireballs and arrows flying wildly, and the mercenaries who had no time to dodge were caught off guard, and screams rang out one after another.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" someone shouted. "Enemy attack, formation, defensive circle, warriors outside, archers inside, hurry!" exclaimed Satira with one hand over her injured arm.
Suzanne protected the little princess at the first time, and Linya, who had always been on guard, also summoned the ice shield to cover both of them at the first time, and did not suffer any damage. The previous laxity had given the enemy a chance to succeed, and the unsuspecting mercenaries suffered heavy casualties in the first wave of attacks, with nearly thirty dead and wounded in an instant. When the mercenaries hurriedly formed a circular defensive formation, the first wave of enemy attacks in the darkness came to an end, and countless black shadows began to emerge.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground and the injured and moaning mercenaries, Linya couldn't help but blame herself deeply. She should have sounded the clear warning sooner! Was she really fantasizing that the devils would hold back and hold back? Extravagant hope that the devils would be merciful? Linya suddenly felt that she was really too naïve!
A terrible shrill laugh rang out all around, and in the dim light of the fire, some sneaky shadows gradually appeared in the darkness around them, and those that appeared in the air were monsters with black wings and sharp horns, and dark flames burning around their bodies. Devils, many, many devils! spear demons, demon archers, and demon spirits.
At the same time, many humanoid monsters gradually appeared from the ground, including skeletons, ghosts, and zombies wearing dwarven uniforms, holding bows, spears, swords, axes and other weapons, densely pouring out of the darkness, at a glance, the number of those terrifying monsters in the dark shadows was almost endless, surrounding the expedition team on the edge of the central square on the seventh floor of the underground castle.
