Chapter 269: Falling from the Sky

Following the flow of people out of the long cave corridor in the mountain, the bright light from the outside world made Lynch who walked out of the cave subconsciously squint his eyes.

It was a platform built on a steep mountain peak, and there were many huge stone suspended platforms on the edge of the platform, which were also carved with many runes, and Lynch guessed that this thing was a "ladder" connecting the buildings between the various peaks.

Probably everyone except them had their own purpose, and they didn't stop at all since they came out of their mouths, and walked straight to the opposite side of the platform, and after handing over the money to the staff, they stood on top of the stones, and were transported to other buildings.

"Do you want to stay here for a while, or do you want to find a carriage to go down the hill and leave?" Lynch asked Lily beside him, standing on the edge of the platform, looking down at the stone railing.

The lack of clouds is probably the only regret here.

Lily still looked like a curious baby, looking at the city built on a steep mountain and connected by magic, at the runes carved everywhere, and at the spire-like buildings in the city, which were as sharp as the peaks and stuck upside down like swords.

"I want to eat something. Perrisius interjected.

"I didn't ask you. Lynch replied angrily: "The price here should only be enough for us to go up and down the mountain once, and let's go down the mountain if we eat." ”

The child was immediately unhappy, but because he was afraid that Lynch's brain would collapse, he didn't dare to shout loudly, but muttered something like "You are grinding here", "It's completely finished now", "I want to take a bath" and so on.

In fact, it was Lily who had a bit of a headache for Lynch.

His initial intentions were actually a bit inappropriate, and Lily's current presence in the team was actually just a drag on Lynch to help Perlicius regain his strength, and he was just thinking that he would be able to keep Lily away from the oppressive silence of the castle, and that she would be able to feel better in the face of her father's inevitable death.

Now it looks like it's working, but the rest of the story is a bit more troublesome. Even if the councillors wouldn't meddle in Perlicus' affairs, the entire Sunstrider family was not something that Lynch could easily handle.

He was wondering how he could arrange Lily, but it would be a little too irresponsible if it was just a boat to the bridge.

"Then let's just get out of here. Lily came back to her senses from the careful observation of the runes, stuck out her tongue at Lynch with some embarrassment, and then glanced down at Lynch as she did the sameβ€”and then quickly withdrew her eyes.

Lynch nodded, grabbed Perrisius by the collar of his coat and dragged him to Lily's side, letting her look at the child, while he walked over to a man who had been paying attention to him and looked like he was in charge of the levitating stone platform, and asked politely, "How shall we get out of here and go down the other side of this mountain?"

The middle-aged man dressed in uniform smiled and began to explain the route in detail to the polite Lynch.

"Thank you very much. Lynch nodded, then suddenly sensed something and looked towards the sky.

Something was rapidly falling towards his position.

Lynch hurriedly looked at Lily's position, only to find that she was also looking up with her head up, motionless.

"Sir?" The staff next to him seemed to be a little puzzled, and he asked Lynch suspiciously, "Are you okay?"

Lynch shook his head and said to the mild-mannered middle-aged man, "You'd better get out of here quickly." ”

With that, he walked towards Lily's place.

"Sir?" the middle-aged man looked at Lynch's back with some confusion, but his face also quickly became panicked, and he pressed a button on a table beside him, and the entire platform sounded a warning sound.

It seems that the perception of a mage whose aura is only about the second level of the ability is still not weak.

"Lily," Lynch walked up to Lily, only to find that she was still staring blankly at the little black dot in the sky that was gradually enlarging, motionless, a little uneasy, and put a hand on her shoulder: "What's wrong?"

Lily shook her head.

"Lynch......" She stared at the little black dot that was gradually enlarging and falling towards them, but tears welled up in her big eyes.

The shrill sirens continued, the crowd on the platform was crowded, and a group of people who had just been sent up from below the mountain rushed to the suspended stone staircase at the edge of the platform, and Lynch also sensed that several powerful auras were emerging from all over the city, paying attention to the small black dot that was rapidly falling above.

But they don't act rashly, it's up to the owners of the city to do so, and they won't do it without permission, even though they may kill a lot of people - and they won't always be able to stop it.

There was no sign of danger, and the talent didn't prompt him to get out of here. Lynch's pure black eyes looked at the sky, the black dot was getting closer and closer, and the general outline could finally be captured.

It vaguely resembles the shape of a large sword.

"This is ......" Lynch muttered to himself, glancing at Lily, who was still looking at the sky, and already had the answer in his mind.

Now there were only three of them left on the platform, and the others were either standing on the way out of the platform as they were floating, or they were standing on the edge of other mountain buildings, sticking their heads out to look this way.

Rumble!

With a dull thud, a great sword from high pierced through the sturdy stone steps of the platform, standing directly in front of Lily.

The door-like greatsword was Dick's weapon – or rather a gift.

Lynch noticed a deep crack in the body of the greatsword, which ran through the entire broad blade.

The whole city seemed to fall silent, paying attention to the great sword that fell from the sky.

"Lily," Lynch asked, "is this ......"

It should have failed, otherwise the little girl wouldn't have cried so badly.

Perlicius stood on the other side of Lily, bewildered.

With Lynch's voice, Lily finally sobbed, she lowered her head, not daring to look at the object in front of her that once belonged to her father, but turned to Lynch, and cried loudly in his arms.

"Daddy is dead......"

So fast......

Although the thoughts in his head may be a little disrespectful to Lily's father, it stands to reason that a possessed person in a dangerous period should not die so quickly, not to mention that Lily's father himself is talented, and he is not the kind of old monster who has suppressed himself for a long time and has not broken through, and his possession has long been unstable.

The platform under his feet trembled slightly, and the source was the big sword in front of Lynch and Lily, which was trembling rapidly, causing the entire platform to begin to tremble slightly.

"What a magical creature this is!"

At the edge of the platform, an old voice sounded, accompanied by a burst of green smoke, and an old man with a hunched waist appeared in the green smoke, holding his glasses in one hand, staring at the big sword inserted on the platform, with no one else in his eyes, while slowly approaching this side.

He reached out towards the greatsword, as if he wanted to touch it.

Tiny lightning struck the ground not far from his feet, stopping the old man from trying to stay close to the great sword.

"I beg your pardon for the interruption," said Lynch, "but the object is not yours, and I think you should not touch it until you have the owner's permission." ”
