For three days, Yalei worked tirelessly, studying high-speed phantoms in the reception hall while gnawing on the hurricane phantom outline, and finally managed to memorize the entire hardcover book before the deadline came.

Looking at the five-centimeter-thick hardcover, the black-haired knight guessed that the enhancement of soul power might also have the effect of developing the brain. If you change to your previous self, you can't remember so many words in a year, don't say it for three days.

At dawn on the fourth day, Alex and his guard of honor arrived in the approach hall with Jane, and invited Areh to ride in a carriage and drive east to the depths of the court against the sun that was gradually beating on the horizon.

As the glimmer of the morning light shrouded the main road, the Imperial Deep Palace gradually revealed its true face in the eyes of the black-haired knight, showing a strange and beautiful color. White, yellow, blue, purple, black, and flowers are intertwined, like a giant blanket woven vertically and horizontally, spread on both sides of the road.

At the end of the main road, a huge white tower stands majestically, and the huge base at the bottom of the white tower has occupied all of Yalei's vision, and the tower body gradually becomes pointed upward. Stretching from the earth into the depths of the sky, looking down from above, it looks like a needle higher than the clouds.

The material of the tower is very close to porcelain in appearance, shining in the sunlight, and the light and shadow flow and change wonderfully.

"This is the Ascension Hall, the top of this white tower, which links you to the place you are going this time. ”

His Majesty the Vice-Emperor ordered the guards to lift the curtain in front of the carriage, pointed to the top of the tower deep into the clouds, and said slowly:

"It was built from the time of Emperor Eussius and completely completed since Emperor Galerius. Up to now, it has a history of 700 years. ”

Emperor Galerius was the successor of Emperor Euslius, due to the brilliance of his predecessor being too dazzling. His place in history is somewhat too transparent. During his reign, this emperor had neither absurd acts nor astonishing achievements, and belonged to a king who was willing to be insipid.

"The ...... of the Ascending Temple"

The black-haired knight looked up at the tower's huge figure, his eyes slightly distracted: "Your Majesty wants to tell the minister that inside this Ascension Palace, a sealer is suppressed?"

"The Ascension Hall itself is not a place of sealing. ”

Alex's gaze narrowly condensed through the thick clouds. Cast to the top of the White Tower: "When you climb to the top of the tower with me and watch the rising sun, you will understand the meaning of the existence of this White Tower." ”

Enter the interior of the foundation of the White Tower. A huge underground palace unfolded in front of Yalei's eyes, the dark blue space stretched infinitely in the field of vision, and the slender ribbon-like corridors connected to gears of different sizes, and the internal magic fluctuated so much that it almost condensed into substance.

The four walls of the pedestal are made of crystals that are close to the crystal walls of space-time. Fluorescence is introverted. The thin lattice pattern on the top extends all the way to the highest top.

Even the dark-haired knight, who knows nothing about architecture, can see that this ethereal and bizarre style is alien to Rosevia, as if it were a legacy of a prehistoric civilization that had been dormant countless years ago.

His Majesty the Vice-Emperor led him through several corridors to a silver space with smooth walls as mirrors, and a trapezoidal platform suspended in mid-air that matched the light projected from the top appeared in front of the two of them.

"Follow me. ”

Alex waved at Arley and strode to the platform. The latter immediately followed.

After the black-haired knight stepped onto the platform, he did not see His Majesty the Vice Emperor give instructions. The entire platform rose steadily and rapidly, so fast that the walls on all sides appeared to be flowing mercury, and Yalei even had the illusion that his whole body was filled with heavy lead.

The process of being overweight lasted about five minutes, and by the time Arei came back to his senses, the top of his head was already hot. Looking up, he saw daylight again.

However, the black-haired knight was suddenly dazzled in the daylight.

He found himself standing on the clouds—in front of the platform was an empty and mysterious altar, surrounded by a circle of fan-shaped stone monuments, and the blue ground was like a water mirror, decorated with hundreds of pillars of various sizes.

The altar was filled with white clouds, and the wind above was cold and cold, and a hint of warmth gradually rose as the sun spread.

"Look carefully there, look at the sun!"

Alex's words brought him back to his senses.

At this time, His Majesty the Vice-Emperor was standing alone on the edge of the altar, in the midst of the tumbling clouds, his robe bulging in the wind, and he stretched out his hand to point to the eastern sky that was gradually dawning.

What does he want me to see?

Aree immediately jumped off the platform and walked behind Alex, his gaze on the source of the dazzling light that was gradually dyeing the sea of clouds red.

At the end of the thick wall of clouds, an endless stream of golden light was spreading outward.

Countless golden lights are like clusters of arrows piercing the sky, and the dazzling golden light bursts out from the light source one by one, from far to near, the entire sky is full of gilded light and shadow.

The huge cocoon of light wrapped in the golden light, breaking through the sea of clouds little by little, slowly rising into the sky, and at this moment, the black-haired knight felt a faint life stand.

"Sun...... Is it alive?"

Are's eyes widened, staring at the glowing cocoon of light, and he could faintly see the outline of a giant life being sleeping inside the sun compared to the close observation of the earth.

Could it be that this is the sealed place where he is going this time?

This is too embarrassing, going into the sun alone, let alone twelve lives, a hundred lives can't withstand such a toss.

If that's the case, let's find an excuse to push it.

“......”

His Majesty the Vice Emperor turned his head, his gaze seemed to pass through the endless void, and he saw the inner thoughts of the black-haired knight, and then a smile of understanding appeared on his face:

"Don't get me wrong, this isn't the Sealed Land you're going to. ”

"That minister really picked up a life. ”

Yalei's tense mood suddenly relaxed, carefully observed the inside of the sun, and couldn't help but sigh: "I never imagined that I could see the sun every day, and it turned out to be a living lifeform. ”

"That's not living, he's dead, and he's been dead for more than a thousand years. Alex turned his gaze back to the scorching sun, and said with a slight distraction:

"It's self-sealing...... The founder of the empire. Emperor Agarric's chosen ending, when he died, he fused one-third of his true body with the sun. Forever shining on the earth.

At the same time, it also serves as the ultimate shackle to seal the mirror of the sky, locking the sealer, the time giant, firmly in his own light. Secretary Bernstein, the name of the sealed place you are going to is Sky Mirror, which is where that guy rests. ”

"What does the minister need to do?"

The black-haired knight took a deep breath of light air, trying to calm his mind and digest the shocking information revealed by the other party.

"Every thirty years or so. There would be a brief gap in the sun's radiance, and in that short period of time, the sealer's consciousness would awaken slightly. ”

"You want me to defeat him?" Aremo looked at the Emperor with fists.

"Nope. You can't defeat him, and you can't defeat a sealer, even if it's just a glimmer of his consciousness. ”

Alex shook his head with a stern expression, and his gaze became fierce:

"It was a flood of memories. It doesn't cause any damage on its own. All you have to do is let him continue to be immersed in the dream and not want to wake up. ”

"Me?"

The black-haired knight pointed at himself, revealing a bewildered expression:

"Whether he wants to wake up or not, what does it have to do with me, if you want him to continue to sleep peacefully, wouldn't it be nice to just not disturb that guy's sleep?"

"Because that guy is a militant. After the 'heart is destroyed', he is even more obsessed with fighting, so the sealed land is infused with the power of Figrui's death. In the dream realm, it sustains the battle of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood. All you have to do is keep the guy slightly awake for a while, so that he continues to think that he is still in a dream. ”

His Majesty the Vice Emperor took out a white metal ball from his coat pocket and brought it flat to Yalei:

"This is a sealed star meter, infused with a trace of my power, and if something happens, it can carry you back intact. ”

"The minister commanded. ”

The black-haired knight took the sealed star orb, held it in his hand like a treasure, and then looked around:

"How do I enter the Sealed Lands?"

"Look up. ”

Alex raised the index finger of his right hand and pointed straight into the depths of the blue sky: "Since it is the realm of the sky, of course it is here." ”

"Above?"

Yalei raised his head, and the sky was staggered with light and shadow, instantly filled with thunder and heavenly fire, and instantly pitch black in the midst of the surging wind and clouds, echoing with rumbling thunder. Mixed with some kind of long, loud and strange rhythm, the darkness rolled and retreated, revealing a bottomless vortex.

Suddenly, the black-haired knight saw a dark red earth appear inside the whirlpool, and then a dark red beam of light fell from the whirlpool, covering his body and slowly pulling it inside.

"A month there is close to a day on earth, and you have time to study the Hurricane Phantom and take care along the way. His Majesty the Vice Emperor waved at Yalei's figure.

After engulfing the black-haired knight's figure, the whirlpool slowly closed and the sky returned to calm.

......

A bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky, cutting through the sky.

In the dark red sky, huge black cracks slowly spewed out red mist, which spread throughout the heavens and the earth. The sun's brilliance was blocked by a gray-black mist, and there were no stars in the sky, only a red canopy of blood.

Bloody drops of rain trickled down from the sky and dripped, dripping into the red-black dirt, making the dry and hard clods slightly wet.

The whole world was surrounded by a gray mist, and the outside of the mist was an endless golden light, and as the lightning fell, the black-haired knight covered his mouth and fell from the sky, falling into an arched crater.

A few minutes later, he turned out of the crater with a grim face, and as far as the eye could see, there was a sloping flat land that had been lowered downward, and there were no plants, no buildings, and no breath of life on the ground, and the whole sealed place looked like a dead and silent wilderness.

"This is the Sky Mirror?"

Yalei stood alone on the ground, leaned over and picked up a dry clod of soil, pinched it into powder, watched the crumbs slowly flow between his fingers, and slowly exhaled:

"It's a dead ruin. ”

After a brief look at the scenery of the Sealed Lands, the black-haired knight checked the food and water that had been prepared, and quickly climbed down the volcano, trying to find the core area of the Sealed Lands.

"Let's try the results of the past few days of studying Hurricane Phantom. ”

Looking at the endless wilderness, Yalei narrowed his eyes, his body tensed like a spring, his legs suddenly exerted force, and his figure suddenly flickered and disappeared, leaving only a vague phantom, which slowly disappeared into the dark red space.

After running for more than a hundred miles in one go, the black-haired knight's legs became more and more stable in the violent running, and the footprints on the ground were smooth one after another.

Slowing down slightly, Yalei only felt that the muscles in his body were bulging, his hands and feet and limbs were slightly hot, and he immediately opened his mouth to take a deep breath of air, and his entire chest was like a sealed box.

Suddenly, a trace of cyan light suddenly appeared on the surface of his body, and as the cyan light turned into a wind, the black-haired knight's speed increased again, and this time he actually conjured up a stripe of shadows.

After a long time, the black-haired knight slowed down again, turning from running to trotting. The muscles in his body vibrated slightly, and the cyan fighting qi roamed all over his body, moving every muscle that began to get tired, and at the same time, his breathing was consciously pressed thin and long.

Ten minutes later, his breath slowly subsided, and as his muscles stopped shaking, a long breath of turbid air erupted from his body.

"I haven't reached the periphery yet, am I going the wrong way? Or is there no difference between the periphery and the core in this sealed land?"

Aree paused, glanced at the horizon, which still stretched infinitely backwards, took concentrated food and water from his bag, ate two or three bites, and sank into the state of studying the Hurricane Phantom again.

Another day passed, and the black-haired knight still hadn't found a way out of the wilderness, so he slowed down completely, and began to practice the rest of Hurricane's phantom technique one by one.

Time passed, and just as Areh had almost forgotten to look for the core area, a half-buried weathered altar appeared in his sight.

The altar is surrounded by dark red sand, and on the sand there are several fan-shaped stone tablets, faintly visible remnants of characters, and the sloping surface of the altar is littered with white bones and rubble.

Some of the decorated low pillars were also smashed and knocked down, leaving the altar in a state of utterance.

"This ...... Wouldn't it be the core of the Sealed Lands?"

The black-haired knight dropped his worn boots, stepped barefoot across the sand, and walked to the edge of the altar, where he found that the entire altar was similar in style to the altar on the top floor of the Ascension Temple.

"But it doesn't seem like there are any energy fluctuations. ”

As he spoke, Yare spun over and jumped onto the surface of the altar, and the moment he stepped on the edge of the altar, a gray pillar of light suddenly fell from the sky, which landed not far in front of the black-haired knight, turning into a blurry image of light and shadow. (To be continued.) )
