readx;? The so-called lookout mountain runs a dead horse. www.biquge.info At noon on the day of leaving the oasis, Linya's expedition saw the landmark building above the ruins of the ancient city of Beira, a tall trapezoidal pyramid, on the horizon. It is said that it was built by the dwarves to commemorate and worship Maeve, the goddess of the earth. Although the goal seems to be close in sight, it is not so easy to really reach the destination.

And there's a lot of bad things that happen all the time. For example, the wind suddenly became stronger, and the whole team was enveloped by flying grains of sand, and the day suddenly turned into night. Then, after the wind stopped, when the number of people was counted, it was found that there was inexplicably missing a person, and there were camels carrying goods and supplies, and the whole team searched for an hour without the slightest trace.

There are also some hidden dangers in the desert, such as sand snakes, scorpions and other small poisons, often suddenly burrow out from under a certain gray-white grain of sand and bite the people passing by. The toxicity of these poisons is not ordinary, even if Linya uses a level 4 natural magic, she can't expel these toxins from the poisoned person in a short period of time. As a result, when it was time to camp at night, there were as many as ten people injured by poisoning.

What's even more terrifying is that. The most terrifying thing in the desert is a kind of monster that Linya had never heard of before coming to Arbela, and certainly had never seen it before—the sandworm. This monster has a cylindrical insect-shaped body, and the largest adult can reach ten meters in length, which is truly terrifying. There was once a dwarf who was walking in the front of the way and suddenly noticed that the ground was sinking, and then he just screamed, and the whole person sank along with the sand under his feet. Then the ground began to tremble, and a huge caterpillar emerged from the ground - and with a "howl" it swallowed the poor dwarf whole.

Linya was really scared and her legs were weak at that time, but fortunately, Suzanne hugged her in time so that she didn't embarrass in front of others. In fact, how powerful can this kind of monster that evolved in nature be? It's just a psychological effect. The mercenaries spent twenty minutes besieging the big bug, and after paying the price of the three of them being corroded and burned by the slime sprayed by the sandworms, they finally disemboweled, sliced the hateful bug into pieces.

Linya and the wizard Heslan didn't make a move, and when the warriors could solve the problem, the mages could just recuperate. However, the orc swordsman named Hamito left a deep impression on Linya, he brandished a giant sword, and rushed forward with an unstoppable momentum with a sword light, the sword light passed through, and the sandworm's toughness shell splashed with blood mist, and the angry sandworm lowered its head and swallowed the big orc in one bite, but the result was that the orc turned into a cloud of sword light and swirled out of the sandworm's body, when the sword light stopped, it was scattered at the same time the internal organs fragments of the sandworm's body, and then the screams of the sandworm almost shook the entire desert surface。

It's really a jaw-dropping thrilling battle, and this guy's performance has to make Linya re-examine her impression of those warriors and knights who fight in close combat. It turns out that a heroic character plays a far greater role than a team of ordinary people.

That night, the expedition ended up sleeping in the desert as far as the eye can see. At dinner, Suzanne returned with a large piece of roasted sandworm meat, and a terrified Linya began to say that she would not eat anything, thinking of the monster's ugly appearance, and the whole dwarf it had swallowed, and oh my god was going to collapse...... But in the end, poor Linya barely ate a small bite under Susanna's persuasion, well, the taste seemed to be very ordinary. With some supplies lost, and there is no desert here, everyone has to do their best to save supplies.

Poor Linya couldn't help but want to gag. Eat and be eaten, kill and be killed, plunder food, or become someone else's food...... The competition for survival must be so cruel? Linya suddenly regretted running back into the desert. She shouldn't have come to join in the fun, and as for the sand thieves - does their life or death really matter to me?

Linya couldn't help but wonder if she was often too impulsive? Linya, Linya, don't forget, you are still in a state where you can't protect yourself! Your hometown is still thousands of miles away, and if you are alone in this strange world, you are lucky to be able to save your life...... But it's too late to turn back now, and the experience of almost dying in the desert last time still makes her feel uneasy.

Forget it, don't think about anything. After a day's journey, I was about to die of exhaustion. Linya unconsciously slipped into Susanna's arms again, and quickly fell asleep with her pair of soft murder weapons.

On the afternoon of March 10, 4124 A.D., the expedition finally arrived at the old capital of Beira.

This is the ruins of a large city with a radius of at least five kilometers, although more than two hundred years have passed, and the once prosperous city is now in ruins, and the erosion of the wind and sand has long since left those buildings with only a little top, and now it is a lonely boat in a sea of sand. But the momentum of the city is still stunning. You can imagine how prosperous this place used to be, even compared to the capital of the Red Leaf Empire, Leia City. It's a pity, that's all in the past.

However, it is also important to note that dwarven cities have always been fond of digging into the ground, and this once largest capital is certainly no exception. The main part of the city of Beira is not actually on the surface, but in the middle of this surface city, in the big hill. The top of the hill was flattened and a tall trapezoidal pyramid was built to worship the goddess of the earth. The interior and lower part of the mountain are the main areas of Beira City.

When you walk through the ruins of the city, you feel like you have gone through some kind of historical vicissitudes, and you can't help but feel some kind of unspeakable emotion. What a civilized country that once flourished, but now it is a memory.

According to Marcariel, the city of Bella is at least twice as large underground as the surface part, and at its peak it is said that the population of the city was in the millions. The underground city is divided into ten floors, each floor has at least ten blocks, a total of six squares, more than 20 garrison defense forts, the whole city is extremely cleverly designed, like a labyrinth, outsiders will definitely get lost if they enter for the first time without being led. The main palace of Bella is located on the central square at the lowest level, and it is simply an impenetrable steel fortress.

"No one could take it, but in the end it was broken by nature. Linya's words made Marckelle stunned for a moment, and then fell silent. Yes, such a powerful city had to be abandoned in the end because it was surrounded by desert. It was from that moment that the splendor of the dwarven civilization began to decline endlessly.

In the evening, the team finally came to the mountain in the middle of the city, and the entrance to the underground castle was located in this place, which was originally supposed to be a large iron gate ten meters high, but now it was blocked by the large stones that fell from the mountain, and it was definitely impossible to enter. But fortunately, the camel caravan carried the tools to clear the wrecker, and the dwarves were also good at mining and building roads. It's just that this project seems to be a bit too big, and I'm afraid it's not a job that can be completed in a short time.

Finding the remaining legions of dwarves stationed in the castle under the castle is not an easy task to complete. Captain Satyra quickly arranged his team, and the dwarves divided into three teams to clear the gates and passages day and night, while the rest set up camp in the sheltered area behind the hillside and waited for the next expedition.

Of course, Linya, the baby magician, didn't have to do anything, and she was bored and took Suzanne around the ruins of the city, and suddenly felt that this was really a good tourist attraction. The ruins of the ancient city, the vicissitudes of history. If this were on earth, it would definitely be one of the most famous scenery in the world. It's a pity that on this remote island, where the dwarves are dying, of course, no one will have the leisure to look at this kind of ghostly thing.

So Suzanne looked at the little princess with great interest, and could only shake her head and smile helplessly. The little princess's mind is really difficult for others to understand, even if it is herself, a partner who accompanies her day and night, she always feels that her thoughts will be difficult to understand. Yes, that's the weird feeling.

Sitting on the roof of the abandoned building, facing the dark red sun, Linya suddenly had a feeling of time passing and the years passing. Is that what it means? It's just a living reality textbook.

If everything is just caused by a landslide or something that causes the entrance to the city to be blocked, then it is simple. But I'm afraid it's not that easy, there are more than 300 people in it. But it's useless to think about it now, so it's better to rest early.

She had just fallen asleep in a daze, when suddenly there was a regular sound outside, like some kind of dull bell, and Linya counted it and rang it nine times.

It's nine o'clock in the evening?Linya opened her eyes and got up, but was surprised to find that the lights were bright outside the tent. Is something wrong?—Linya walked out a little confused, but she was immediately stunned by what was happening outside.

The city was resurrected. The ruins of the city, which had been dead and desolate, have been resurrected! The buildings and houses have all become brand new, and the bluestone-paved roads are neat and clean, and the city is lit up with lantern poles on both sides. What's even more incredible is that countless dwarves walk around the city, and there are also quite a few humans who can occasionally be seen in between. The roadside shops were bustling with people, the shouts of merchants calling for customers, the cats foraging for food deftly passed through the crowd, and the cries of children, all the way to the entrance to the city gate at the foot of the hill, and even the entire hillside was brightly lit.

This is nothing, there is a big river not far from the right hand side, and the banks are even more lively, and countless small boats are like stars dotted on the river, gathering little by little towards the port in the distance. On the wharf there, there are many large sea ships lined up with lights, and the wharf is full of people, and countless goods are like flowing water from the big ship up and down, Marclell once said that in the past, the great river of the city of Bella was dug up and down to a very deep wharf, and even the sea ships could dock along the canal against the current to the outside of the city, and there were as many as 100 ocean-going cargo ships sent from the city of Bella to Grecia every year, and it seems that these words are really true.

It's just that...... How is this possible? Could it be that I am dreaming again? Linya quickly rubbed her eyes, and when she opened them again, everything in front of her disappeared, and the world became that dead world again, with only the remains of buildings, white sand everywhere, and a desolate land. This is the real world.

In the blink of an eye, the beautiful, bustling, noisy, and bright mirage returned. Linya immediately understood what was going on. Just like the last time she saw the scene in the deserted village, what she saw was an imaginary spiritual world, a world that existed in a spiritual state, and everything in this world was a simulated world built with some kind of spiritual, magical or unknown power, and these people living in this world were actually just spiritual lifeforms without real ** - that is, spiritual bodies, or souls.

As for herself, she didn't wake up from the real world, what she woke up now was just a consciousness of her pure mental state.

Thinking of this, Linya became excited, which meant that she could visit this dwarven kingdom in the most prosperous period hundreds of years ago in this fugue state, experience the exotic and alien customs, and pass by, but there is no reason to miss it!

While he was doing so, a dwarf wearing some sort of top hat appeared to lead two guards to Linya, who performed a dwarven salute and said in Arbela, "Welcome, honorable Miss Linya. On the orders of His Majesty King Mitis, I hereby invite you to the palace of Bella. With that, the dwarven officer made another gesture of invitation.

Linya was startled at first.

What the hell, they can actually see their own spiritual bodies? The last time they were in the deserted village, others obviously couldn't see themselves!

What the hell do they know their names? How can these dwarven souls who have died a long time ago know themselves?

But Linya quickly calmed down again. In this state of spiritual body, no one can hurt themselves, and they won't die, what is there to be afraid of? They are all spiritual bodies, at most they have some kind of spiritual power, and their spiritual power has been transformed by the creator god, which is the most powerful in the world, and no one can control themselves.

Thinking of this, Linya calmed down, smiled and nodded, and replied in a human way, "Okay." Since His Majesty King Mitis has been graciously invited, it is my pleasure to pay a visit. Thank you, please lead the way. ”
